Method for self-coherence detection of optical carrier radio frequency link based on polarization multiplexing

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for self-coherence detection of an optical carrier radio frequency link based on polarization multiplexing. The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication and microwaves. The method is shown in the attached drawing, and comprises a laser source, a vector signal source, a polarization controller, a polarization beam splitter, a polarization multiplexing Mach-Zehnder modulator, a single-mode fiber, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, a 90-degree optical coupler and a balance photoelectric detector. According to the method, two paths of different radio frequency electric signals are used for respectively carrying out intensity modulation and phase modulation on two optical carriers with orthogonal polarization states in a polarization multiplexing Mach-Zehnder modulator; frequency mixing is carried out through a 90-degree optical coupler; signal processing is performed on the electric signal output by the balance photoelectric detectorto recover an original electric signal; the polarization multiplexing mode is used for improving the utilization rate of spectrum and light source power; self-coherent detection is used at the receiving end; and a local oscillation light source and a complex phase noise elimination algorithm are avoided, so that the system cost is reduced, and the requirement for the line width of the laser is lowered.
