Optical phase-locked loop device based on direct digital frequency synthesizer and phase-locking method

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical phase-locked loop device based on a direct digital frequency synthesizer and a phase-locking method. The device is composed of a 90-degree optical bridge unit, a balanced detector, a mixer, a programmable logic gate array, a digital-to-analog converter, an analog-to-digital converter, a direct digital synthesizer, a band-pass microwave amplifier, a narrow-line-width tunable laser device, an optical intensity modulator, a fiber grating filter, a fiber beam splitter, and a fiber amplifier. The software uses linear frequency sweeping and Fourier transform to realize the initial entry of the phase-locked loop. With a PID algorithm, precise phase control of the optical phase-locked loop is realized. The device is able to realize high-precision phase locking and large-range frequency shift compensation of the optical phase-locked loop without an auxiliary phase-locked capture circuit. The DDS is used for replacing a voltage-controlled oscillator to realizedirect conversion from the voltage to the phase; and the loop phase margin is improved, the control bandwidth is enhanced, and thus the phase-locked performance of the optical phase-locked loop is improved. Therefore, the optical phase locking and laser coherent communication signal demodulation are realized quickly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to free space coherent communication and optical fiber coherent communication, in particular to an optical phase-locked loop device and a phase-locked method based on a direct digital frequency synthesizer. Background technique [0002] Laser coherent communication has the advantages of high sensitivity, large communication bandwidth and dense wavelength division multiplexing. It is a technical hotspot in optical fiber communication and is gradually replacing laser intensity modulation communication on the backbone network. Laser coherent communication requires phase synchronization or phase locking between the local laser at the receiving end and the signal laser at the transmitting end. Due to the difficulty of optical phase-locked loop technology, DSP (Digital Signal Processing) is mainly used in China to process the signal algorithm and then perform phase estimation and signal demodulation. This method does not require precis...

Problems solved by technology

Since the conversion of frequency and phase brings about a 90-degree phase shift in the control loop, the phase delay left for other parts of the control loop is only 45 degrees, and the phase-locked control bandwidth is severely limited
