Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of phase-locked loops, and in particular relates to a phase-locked loop circuit for optical fiber noise suppression, and also relates to an application of the phase-locked loop circuit for optical fiber noise suppression, which is suitable for suppressing phase noise generated in an optical fiber. Background Art

[0002] In atomic optical frequency standards, the detection of cold atomic systems using ultra-narrow linewidth clock lasers and the measurement of clock laser frequencies using femtosecond optical frequency combs are both inseparable from optical fiber transmission. In the above process, it is usually expected that optical fiber transmission will not introduce additional phase noise, so as not to affect the detection of clock transition spectral lines and the frequency measurement of clock lasers.

[0003] During the use of optical fiber, mechanical stretching, temperature fluctuations, and pressure changes will cause changes in its length and refractive index. During the transmission of clock laser in optical fiber, its phase will change randomly, resulting in the widening of the laser line width. For high-precision optical frequency standards, this widening cannot be ignored. Therefore, the noise introduced by optical fiber transmission must be suppressed.

[0004] The general scheme for fiber noise suppression in the experiment is: the beat frequency signal output by the photodetector PD is mixed with a stable reference signal (referenced to the hydrogen clock), and the error signal is obtained after low-pass filtering. The error signal is then input into the PID servo controller to generate a control signal to change the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator VCO, and finally the acousto-optic modulator AOM is controlled to shift the frequency to achieve frequency locking between the beat frequency signal and the reference signal. This technical scheme has the following main disadvantages: (1) The locking range is small. The lock can only be established when the beat frequency signal and the reference signal frequency are very close, and the conditions for establishing the lock are relatively harsh; (2) After unlocking, it is impossible to automatically re-lock, and manual intervention is required, and the anti-interference ability is poor; (3) There are many devices and equipment used, and the overall power consumption is large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and integration of the circuit system.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] An application of a phase-locked loop circuit for optical fiber noise suppression also includes an optical fiber noise suppression optical path 7 and a power amplifier 8. The optical fiber noise suppression optical path 7 includes a polarization beam splitter prism, a photodetector, a Faraday rotator, an acousto-optic modulator, an optical fiber, a total reflector, and a quarter-wave plate. The incident laser is split into two beams after passing through the polarization beam splitter prism (PBS), and the transmitted light is used as the reference light and the reflected light is used as the signal light. The reference light is reflected to the photodetector (PD) via a 0° total reflection mirror, a quarter wave plate (λ / 4), and a polarization beam splitter prism; the signal light is polarized by 45° after passing through a Faraday rotator, and then enters the optical fiber through an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). The optical fiber outlet end face (FC / PC) will reflect part of the light back, and the reflected laser will pass through the optical fiber, the acousto-optic modulator (AOM), and the Faraday rotator again. The polarization of the reflected laser changes by 45° again, and just passes through the polarization beam splitter prism to the photodetector. The photodetector beats the reference light and the reflected signal light, and the photodetector outputs a beat signal to the bandpass filter of the phase-locked loop 9. Finally, the voltage-controlled oscillator of the phase-locked loop 9 outputs a frequency-modulated signal, and the frequency-modulated signal passes through a power amplifier 8 (Amplifier) ​​and is input to the electrical signal input end of the acousto-optic modulator. The acousto-optic modulator shifts the frequency of the signal light according to the amplified frequency-modulated signal to lock the frequency of the signal light.

[0045] The working principle of the present invention is: Assuming that the frequency of the incident laser before entering the polarization beam splitter is f l The signal light passes through the acousto-optic modulator (driving frequency is f AOM ) after the positive first-order diffraction light frequency is f l +f AOM , assuming the frequency noise introduced by the optical fiber is f n , then the frequency of light out of the optical fiber is f l +f AOM +f n , the laser is reflected by the end face of the optical fiber outlet and passes through the optical fiber and the acousto-optic modulator again. Since the time for the signal light to pass through the optical fiber twice is extremely short, it can be considered that the noise introduced by the two passes through the optical fiber is the same. Therefore, the frequency of the reflected laser finally reaching the photodetector is f l +2f AOM +2f n , since the reference light frequency is f l , then the frequency of the two-way optical beat signal detected by the photodetector is 2f AOM +2f n , the beat frequency electrical signal is input into the phase-locked loop 9, and the external reference voltage signal frequency f Ref =20MHz, so that f Ref =(2f AOM +2f n) / N (N=8), the frequency modulation signal output by the phase-locked loop 9 is amplified by the power amplifier 8 (Amplifier) ​​and controls the frequency shift of the acousto-optic modulator, so that the laser frequency out of the optical fiber is locked to f l +(N / 2)*f Ref .

[0046] As an implementation method, the external reference voltage signal frequency f Ref =20MHz, the frequency of the phase detector 3 is f PFD =20MHz and the voltage controlled oscillator frequency f VCO =80MHz, tuning sensitivity K vco =2kHz / V, modulation bandwidth Modulation BW=10kHz, loop bandwidth Loop BW of loop filter 4=5kHz, phase margin PhaseMargin=45deg; optical fiber adopts 5m polarization-maintaining optical fiber (in this embodiment, P5-488PM-FC-5 optical fiber of Thorlabs Company is adopted), one end of the optical fiber is an 8° bevel (FC / APC), the other end of the optical fiber is a plane (FC / PC), the entrance end face of the incident laser selects the optical fiber end face of FC / APC, which can prevent the light reflected from the entrance end face from interfering with the extraction of optical fiber noise, and the exit end is the optical fiber end face of FC / PC; the incident laser is 578nm laser, the laser power is 3mW, and the driving frequency of the acousto-optic modulator is about 80MHz;

[0047] In order to evaluate the fiber noise suppression effect of the phase-locked loop 9 of the present invention, the Allan variance is usually used to characterize the relative instability of the laser frequency caused by the fiber noise. The counter used in this example is the KEYSIGHT 53230A model frequency counter. The beat frequency signal after down-conversion is measured in the dead zone free measurement mode (total measurement time: 2h, measurement interval: 1s). Then, the Allan variance is calculated using the Stable32 software and its variation curve is plotted. The obtained noise suppression effect evaluation results are shown in Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the relative instability of the laser frequency caused by the residual fiber noise is 2.59×10 -18 (1s averaging time).

[0048] The frequency of the beat frequency electrical signal output by the photodetector is 160MHz. Since it is difficult to directly measure high-frequency signals, it is considered to down-convert the beat frequency electrical signal. The specific method of down-conversion is: select a signal with a frequency of 160.1MHz (referenced to the hydrogen clock) and mix it with the original beat frequency electrical signal and perform low-pass filtering to obtain a down-converted beat frequency signal with a frequency of 100kHz. The down-converted beat frequency signal retains the frequency stability of the original beat frequency electrical signal.

[0049] It should be noted that the embodiments described in the present invention are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described embodiments or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the attached claims.
