System and method for generating multicarrier signals with high flatness and high sideband suppression ratios

Abstract

The invention provides a system and method for generating multicarrier signals with high flatness and high sideband suppression ratios, and relates to the technical field of optics, microwave and microwave photonics. Multicarrier signals with the high flatness and the high sideband suppression ratios are generated in an optical frequency comb manner to solve the existing problem of multichannel microwave radio frequency signal generation problem within wide broad frequency coverage and acquire the multicarrier signal with a large bandwidth, good flatness and large carrier number. The invention provides an SSB-OCS generation method based on three MZMs connected in parallel, wherein two MZMs work in a single sideband modulation mode, and the other MZM works in an even order suppression mode so as to generate SSB-OCS signals with high sideband suppression ratios in combination with optical phase shift control of 90 degrees. Then, with the proposed SSB-OCS signal generation and optical frequency shift loop as a core, an oscillating circuit is formed in the optical domain to perform circular frequency shift so as to generate the multicarrier signals with high flatness and high sideband suppression ratios.
