Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photoelectric signal detection and processing, and in particular to a circuit device and method for ultra-wideband optical signal detection and amplification. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of optical communication, optical transmission, microwave photonics, optical fiber sensing and other technologies, optical signal detection and processing is an important and widely used technology in the field of optoelectronics, especially in some high-speed, high-bandwidth pulse signal transmission and synchronization systems, the transmission quality of optical modulation signals is required to be very high, especially in the optical detection at the receiving end, not only the weak optical modulation signal needs to be detected, but also the speed and bandwidth of the optical detection and processing circuit (amplification) of the optical detection part are also increasing. First, the weak optical signal needs to be optoelectronic detected with a large bandwidth, and the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal with as little distortion as possible, because the modulated optical signal has both DC components and very high frequency components, and the full frequency domain needs to be restored from DC to high frequency during transmission, and the distortion needs to be small. In addition, due to the weak signal, the converted electrical signal also needs to be amplified synchronously with as little distortion as possible in the full frequency domain including DC components to achieve the ideal amplitude. Therefore, the amplification circuit of the electrical signal is also crucial for the restoration and amplification of high-speed and ultra-wideband signals. Ultra-wideband here is defined as a frequency range from DC to 20GHz.

[0003] The conventional optical detection technology generally uses APD (avalanche photodiode type photodetector) detector for photoelectric conversion, uses the avalanche effect of APD to obtain high gain amplification, and the subsequent amplification processing is generally a simple amplification based on a BJT transistor operational amplifier. The conventional technology has several problems: 1. The signal modulation bandwidth of APD is narrow, generally below GHz, and cannot reach the level of 10GHz, 20GHz and above high bandwidth; 2. The price of APD is high; 3. The operational amplifier used is limited by the silicon material process, and the bandwidth is limited, and is generally in the hundreds of megahertz level, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed and high-bandwidth amplification up to 20GHz. Some existing technologies also use PIN detectors for photoelectric conversion, but are also limited by the subsequent operational amplifier circuit, and are difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed and high-bandwidth up to 20GHz. The conventional technology generally amplifies the signal through a BJT transistor type operational amplifier, which can amplify DC and low frequency (below several hundred megahertz), but is powerless for high frequency, which greatly limits the range of use.

[0050] The direct current high frequency separation unit 2 is used for separating the electric signal into direct current signal and high frequency signal. The direct current high frequency separation unit 2 mainly realizes the automatic separation function of the direct current component, i.e. the direct current signal, and the high frequency component, i.e. the high frequency signal, in the ultra-wideband electric signal. The roughly realized principle block diagram of the direct current high frequency separation unit 2 is shown in Figure 3 The direct current high frequency separation unit 2 comprises an electric signal input port P4, a direct current signal output port P5, a high frequency signal output port P6, a first inductor L1 and a second capacitor C2.

[0051] The current to voltage and direct current voltage amplification unit 3 is used for converting the direct current signal into direct current voltage signal and amplifying the converted direct current voltage signal. The current to voltage and direct current voltage amplification unit 3 firstly adopts a current detection chip D1 to convert the direct current signal (current) into direct current voltage signal, and then amplifies the converted direct current voltage signal through a gain adjustable operational amplifier circuit D2. The gain size is adjusted according to the size of the high frequency gain, and the best is that the gains of the two are equal or close. The roughly principle block diagram is shown in Figure 4 The current detection chip D1 can also adopt a differential amplifier circuit to differentially amplify the direct current component, so as to convert the direct current signal into direct current voltage signal output. Since the differential amplifier circuit is a classical analog general circuit, it is not described here.

The operational amplifier D2 can be but not limited to the LM2904 and other similar operational amplifiers of the domestic Shengbang Microelectronics Company.

[0053] The direct current driving unit 4 is used for amplifying the driving current of the amplified direct current voltage signal. Considering that the output direct current voltage signal current of the operational amplifier D2 is small and the load capacity is low, the direct current driving unit 4 adds a MOS tube M as a driver, which can increase the driving capacity of the direct current part. The roughly circuit is shown in Figure 5The direct current driving unit 4 includes a MOS tube M, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, and a feedback interface P12. The feedback interface P12 is electrically connected to one end of a feedback resistor of an operational amplifier D2.

The source of the MOS tube M is electrically connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4 and the feedback interface P12. The other end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to an output port P8 of the current-amplified direct current voltage signal. The drain of the MOS tube M is electrically connected to the positive pole Vcc of the power supply. The selection of the MOS tube M mainly considers the power supply voltage and the maximum current index, and many models can be selected. The specific model is not specified here. The existence of the direct current driving unit can provide a large driving current (which can exceed the level of hundreds of milliamperes) even if the load resistor is large.

[0054] The high-frequency amplification unit 5 is used for amplifying high-frequency signals. The high-frequency amplification unit 5 is mainly responsible for amplifying optical high-frequency signals. Since the frequency of the high-frequency path here can cover a very wide frequency range from several KHz to 20 GHz, a radio frequency amplifier or microwave amplifier D3 prepared by using a gallium arsenide (GaAs) process is required to be used here at the same time. The power supply biasing part of the amplifier also needs to be processed in the same wideband manner. The approximate principle block diagram is shown in Figure 6 The high-frequency amplification unit 5 includes a radio frequency amplifier or microwave amplifier D3 prepared by using a gallium arsenide (GaAs) process, a second inductor L2, and a third capacitor C3. One end of the second inductor L2 is electrically connected to the output port of the radio frequency amplifier or microwave amplifier D3. The other end of the second inductor L2 is electrically connected to the positive pole Vcc of the power supply. One end of the third capacitor C3 is electrically connected to the positive pole Vcc of the power supply. The other end of the third capacitor C3 is grounded. The third capacitor C3 is a decoupling capacitor.

[0055] The direct current high-frequency combining unit 6 is used for combining and outputting the current-amplified direct current voltage signal and the amplified high-frequency signal. Referring to Figure 7The direct current high frequency combination unit 6 includes a third inductor L3, a fourth capacitor C4, an amplified high frequency signal input port P9, a current amplified direct current voltage signal input port P10, and a combination signal output port P11. One end of the fourth capacitor C4 is electrically connected to the amplified high frequency signal input port P9, the other end of the fourth capacitor C4 is electrically connected to the combination signal output port P11, one end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to the current amplified direct current voltage signal input port P10, the other end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to one end of a fifth resistor R5, and the other end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the combination signal output port P11. The third inductor L3 mainly realizes the coupling of direct current and isolates high frequency components, and the fifth resistor R5 mainly isolates low frequency components (excluding direct current). The fourth capacitor C4 mainly realizes the coupling of alternating current components and isolates direct current. The current amplified direct current voltage signal and the amplified high frequency signal in the super wideband electrical signal are automatically combined through the circuit. It can be seen that the series combination of the third inductor L3 and the fifth resistor R5 and the common use of the fourth capacitor C4 (the fourth capacitor C4 is a direct current isolation capacitor) can realize the super wideband combination from DC to several tens of KHz (direct current path) and several tens of KHz to 20GHz (high frequency path), thereby ensuring the integrity of signal transmission.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0063] Step 6, combining and outputting the current amplified direct current voltage signal and the amplified high frequency signal.

[0064] In some embodiments, step 1 uses a PIN type photodetector to detect an optical signal and convert the detected optical signal into an electrical signal.

[0065] In some embodiments, step 3 uses a current detection chip or a differential amplifier circuit to convert the DC signal into a DC voltage signal, and uses an operational amplifier circuit to amplify the converted DC voltage signal.

[0066] By combining the above circuit units and designing a specific circuit, it is possible to perform the function of detecting and amplifying ultra-wideband weak optical signals from DC to 20GHz.

[0067] To verify and test the effectiveness of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, a vector network analyzer 7 with a bandwidth ≥ 20 GHz was used for testing. After calibration, one port of the vector network analyzer 7 emitted a first radio frequency signal with a bandwidth of 20 GHz. The first radio frequency signal (sine wave signal) emitted by the vector network analyzer 7 was input from the radio frequency port of the laser source 8 with a modulation bandwidth ≥ 20 GHz. The optical port of the laser source 8 output a modulated optical signal. This modulated optical signal was emitted through a 1-meter-long short optical fiber 9 and fed into the optical input port P1 (i.e., the optical port of the PIN photodetector) of the circuit device 10 of the present invention. After being processed by the circuit device 10 of the present invention, a second radio frequency signal with a bandwidth ≥ 20 GHz was output from the radio frequency port of the circuit device 10 of the present invention. The whole process completed the transmission process of the useful 20 GHz bandwidth radio frequency signal from electricity to light, then from light to electricity, and then electrical amplification. The aforementioned second radio frequency signal was input through another port of the vector network analyzer 7. At this time, the gain curve (S21 curve) tested by the vector network analyzer 7 can be used to evaluate whether the circuit and method of the present invention can achieve the effect of detecting and amplifying the modulated optical signal with a bandwidth of 20 GHz across the entire frequency band.

[0068] The measured bandwidth data of the optical transmission system implemented by this invention are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the present invention can perform the function of detecting and amplifying ultra-wideband weak optical signals from DC to 20GHz.

[0069] The advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0070] 1) The circuits of this invention use lumped parameter components, which are convenient to select and have relatively low cost.

[0071] 2) By introducing gallium arsenide (GaAs) radio frequency amplifiers or microwave amplifiers and PIN photodetectors, this invention can realize the detection and amplification process of ultra-wideband optical signals from DC to 20GHz, breaking through the bandwidth bottleneck in the traditional field of optical detection and amplification.

[0072] 3) This invention makes it possible to detect and amplify high-speed, high-bandwidth optical signals, greatly expanding the application fields and scope of optoelectronic technology, and has very important practical value.

[0073] The above merely illustrates the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form.
