Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microwave signal technology, and in particular to a method and device for acquiring a parity-time symmetric photoelectric oscillation microwave signal. Background Art

[0002] Microwave signals are widely used in radar, wireless communication, high-precision measurement and other fields. With the continuous development of information technology, higher requirements are placed on the frequency and phase noise of microwave signals. Traditional electronic technology often uses frequency doubling to generate high-frequency microwave signals, but this will seriously deteriorate the phase noise performance of the signal. The hybrid resonant cavity containing optical path and circuit, optoelectronic oscillator, has emerged in the field of microwave signal generation due to its extremely low phase noise and good frequency expansion. However, the long-distance optical fiber inside the optoelectronic oscillator greatly shortens the interval between oscillation modes, making single-mode oscillation difficult. In recent years, the parity-time (PT) symmetry and PT symmetry breaking mechanism in optoelectronic systems have demonstrated their unique mode selection characteristics. Therefore, the mode selection of optoelectronic oscillators using the PT symmetry mechanism has gradually become a research hotspot. In order to realize PT symmetric optoelectronic oscillators, people have successively proposed optoelectronic oscillator structures based on space division multiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing and polarization multiplexing to achieve the gain and loss of the oscillation signal through different physical loops, wavelengths and polarizations. However, the system performance will inevitably be affected by these parameters, thereby reducing the phase noise and stability of the oscillation signal. Summary of the invention
