Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic devices, and particularly relates to an ultrashort pulse source for a dense wavelength division multiplexing system. Background Art
[0002] The requirements for network bandwidth and reliability of various new services are getting higher and higher. The characteristics of the dense wavelength division multiplexing system, such as ultra-large capacity, ultra-long distance transmission, and stable performance, make its importance more prominent in the development of the Internet. It will still be an important basic support platform for the future development of the Internet. In addition, the dense wavelength division multiplexing technology can greatly improve the capacity of the optical fiber communication system and is the most economical and effective way to realize the upgrade and expansion of the optical fiber system, becoming an inevitable trend in the development of communication.
[0003] In a dense wavelength division multiplexing system, the traditional light source solution is to use an array of lasers, and the number of channels is met by increasing the number of individual lasers, which undoubtedly increases the cost and complexity of the system. It is difficult to control the longitudinal mode of a Fabry-Perot laser. Usually, the length of the laser is on the order of hundreds of micrometers, and the corresponding mode spacing is on the order of 1 nm, while the gain spectral width of the laser reaches dozens of nm, and the possibility of multi-longitudinal mode lasing is quite large. A distributed feedback semiconductor laser with a common structure is prone to multimode operation under high-speed modulation, thus limiting the transmission rate. A distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser is tuned by changing the injection current in the grating region, which results in a large spectral broadening. In addition, a distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser needs to adjust the currents of at least two electrodes to fix the lasing wavelength, which is not conducive to practical applications.
[0004] The light source of a dense wavelength division multiplexing system is the main equipment for backbone network communication and usually needs to work continuously for several years. How to ensure the long-term stable operation of the light source of the dense wavelength division multiplexing system is one of the key technologies in light source design; at the same time, in a dense wavelength division multiplexing system, many channels are allocated, and the wavelength difference between adjacent channels is very small, 0.8 nm or even smaller. This requires the signal source to have characteristics such as frequency stability, narrow linewidth, good frequency selectivity, and a wide wavelength tuning range.
[0005] In summary, the currently existing ultrashort pulse sources capable of generating signals for a dense wavelength division multiplexing system all have inherent drawbacks and need to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0046] Example 9 Working principle of the present invention
[0047] Combined with the above embodiments and each drawing, the working principle of the present invention is described.
[0048] In the seed pulse source module 1, the phase-shifted long-period grating 116, the filter 106, and the birefringent Sagnac filter structure composed of the second polarization controller 120, the third polarization controller 118, and the polarization-maintaining fiber 119 can tune and control the laser to achieve multi-wavelength pulse output. The pulse pick-up module 3 compresses the spectral width of the pulse to prevent the amplified pulse from damaging the amplification device. The acousto-optic modulator 302 can reduce the optical pulse repetition frequency so as to obtain higher pulse energy in the subsequent structure. The spectral shaping structure composed of a grating and an optical lens can perform pre-shaping to compensate for the gain narrowing effect generated during the amplification process and achieve the output of ultrashort pulses. The first-stage pulse width compression module 5 uses a multi-path pulse amplification and pulse width compression structure for effective power amplification and pulse width compression. A narrowband spectral filter composed of a grating pair, an optical lens, and an optical slit is used to further compress the pulse width to obtain ultrashort pulse output. Finally, frequency conversion is achieved through the nonlinear crystal barium metaborate to realize the output of deep ultraviolet ultrashort pulses.
