Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are two key bottlenecks in the implementation of fractional Fourier transforms in the digital domain: First, due to the physical limit of carrier mobility, electronic analog-to-digital converters have speed and bandwidth bottlenecks. The rate and bandwidth of the converter are limited to a low level; second, when processing complex signals, it will take up huge storage space and computing overhead, which is difficult to meet the needs of real-time signal processing
[0004] The fractional-order Fourier transform based on the space lens optical system is bulky, which is not conducive to system integration (P.Pellat-Finet, "Fresnel diffraction and the fractional-order Fouriertransform," Opt. Lett., 1994, 19(18): 1388-1390)
The optical fractional Fourier transformer based on the fiber group velocity dispersion effect has a compact structure (S. M. Brunel, D. Lebrun, and C. "Characterization of chirped pulses with the fractional-order Fouriertransformation," J.Opt.Soc.Am.A,2001,18(11):2754-2759), but poor order tunability and low resolution (best resolution only on the order of GHz)
If the resolution is increased by increasing the length of the optical fiber, the real-time performance of signal processing will be degraded; if the resolution is improved by using a time lens, the duration of the signal to be processed will be severely limited (limited to less than a few hundred ps)
Using chirped fiber gratings instead of optical fibers can obtain greater dispersion to improve resolution, while reducing system delay and ensuring real-time requirements, but the problem of poor tunability has not been solved (Cuadrado-Laborde, A.Carrascosa, A .Díez, J.L.Cruz, and M.V.Andres, “Photonics fractional Fourier transformer with a single dispersive device,” Opt.Express, 2013, 21(7):8558-63)
To sum up, the existing optical fractional Fourier transform scheme cannot simultaneously realize high-precision, broadband and order-tunable real-time fractional Fourier transform, which is also the key problem to be solved by the present invention

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectricity, and relates to a broadband tunable high-precision optical fractional Fourier converter and an implementation method thereof. Accordingto the invention, an optical fractional order Fourier converter is constructed by using three paths of frequency shift optical loops with coprime free spectral ranges; based on the principle of frequency shift replication and delay interference of signals, continuous tunable equivalent large-group velocity dispersion is obtained, high-precision fractional Fourier transform of the signals is achieved in an analog domain, orders can be freely tuned, and frequency measurement and chirp rate measurement of broadband microwave signals can be achieved by combining a reconstruction algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of optoelectronic technology of the present invention specifically relates to a broadband tunable high-precision optical fractional Fourier transformer and a realization method thereof. Background technique [0002] Fractional Fourier transform is a general form of Fourier transform. Compared with Fourier transform, fractional Fourier transform realizes signal analysis in the intermediate domain between time domain and frequency domain, and has a larger order Degree of freedom and flexibility, because its basis function has linear chirp characteristics, it is especially suitable for the analysis and processing of non-stationary signals such as linear chirp signals. Therefore, the fractional Fourier transform has been widely used in radar signal processing, image encryption, image digital watermarking, holographic computing and other fields. [0003] At present, there are two key bottlenecks in the implementation of fractional Fourier transfo...
