Abstract

The invention discloses a method for generating a tunable ultra-wideband (UWB) microwave frequency comb based on a semiconductor laser. The method comprises steps of: using a semiconductor laser to produce the tunable UWB microwave frequency comb, wherein the temperature and the current of the semiconductor laser are controlled by a current temperature control source; using an external signal source to modulate the driving current of the semiconductor laser, causing the semiconductor laser to output a seed source of the microwave frequency comb by adjusting the modulation frequency fm and the modulation power Pm of an signal source output signal; injecting continuous light output by an adjustable laser source into the current-modulated semiconductor laser, using a bandwidth enhancement effect caused by light injection to cause the semiconductor laser (SL) to produce the high-quality tunable UWB microwave frequency comb. The method can produce the microwave frequency combs with a continuously variable comb distance from 0.5GHz to 10GHz. The high-quality microwave frequency comb obtained in two adjustable comb distance ranges from 1.1GHz to 1.2GHz and from 3.3GHz to 8.0GHz can achieve a bandwidth up to 59GHz (within 10dB flatness amplitude).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave photon technology, and in particular relates to a method for generating a tunable ultra-broadband microwave frequency comb based on a semiconductor laser. Background technique [0002] Microwave frequency comb refers to a group of frequency components that are equally spaced like a comb in the frequency domain. It can provide both single-frequency microwave signals and multi-frequency microwave signals. Therefore, it can be used in frequency and distance measurement, broadband wireless communication, Satellite communication, anti-jamming test and other fields have broad application prospects.
