[0077] Exemplarily, the dual-channel modulation signal output by the light modulation module is received by the dual-channel output module to obtain composite light signal data, which contains spectral information of the first wavelength signal 1550 nm and the second wavelength signal 1310 nm. The arrayed waveguide grating is used to perform wavelength spectrometry on the composite light signal, and the arrayed waveguide grating with a grating period of 500 nm is used to separate the light signals of 1550 nm and 1310 nm. According to the wavelength difference characteristics of the arrayed waveguide grating, the spectral distribution of the separated 1550 nm signal and 1310 nm signal is determined, and the spectral resolution reaches 0.1 nm. The separated 1550 nm signal is optimized by the tapered coupling structure, the end face inclination angle of the tapered waveguide is set to 10°, and the first wavelength output signal with a reflection loss lower than 0.5 dB is obtained. The separated 1310 nm signal is optimized by the tapered coupling structure, the end face inclination angle of the tapered waveguide is set to 12°, and the second wavelength output signal with a reflection loss lower than 0.6 dB is obtained. If the intensity of the 1550 nm output signal is lower than the preset threshold value -20 dBm, the intensity compensation is performed by the signal amplification algorithm, the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a gain of 20 dB is used to obtain the enhanced 1550 nm signal. If the intensity of the 1310 nm output signal is lower than the preset threshold value -18 dBm, the intensity compensation is performed by the signal amplification algorithm, the semiconductor optical amplifier with a gain of 18 dB is used to obtain the enhanced 1310 nm signal. The enhanced 1550 nm signal is coupled by the fiber array, the core diameter of the fiber array is 9 μm, and the output parameters of the fiber array transmitted to the external optical communication system are determined, including the output power of 0 dBm and the insertion loss of 1 dB.

[0078] The separated first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal can also be coupled to the external optical fiber by the tapered coupling structure to obtain the output light signal.
[0079] The first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal separated by the double-channel output module are received by a tapered optical waveguide structure to obtain initial optical signal data. The mode field diameter of the optical signal is adjusted according to the geometric parameters of the tapered optical waveguide to obtain an optical signal matching the mode field of an external optical fiber. The first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal are spectrally separated by a splitter to determine independent optical signal channels. The separated double-wavelength signals are mode superimposed by a directional coupler of a symmetric waveguide structure to obtain a composite optical signal. The taper angle parameter of the tapered optical waveguide is adjusted according to the intensity distribution of the composite optical signal to obtain an optimized coupled optical signal. If the polarization state of the optimized coupled optical signal does not meet the requirements of the external optical fiber, the signal is polarization corrected by a polarization modulation module to determine a corrected optical signal. The corrected optical signal is coupled to an external optical fiber by a fiber array to obtain an output optical signal. According to the power distribution of the output optical signal, selective coupling is performed by a Bragg grating filter to obtain a stable output optical signal. The stable output optical signal is decoded and processed by an external optical communication system to obtain final double-channel communication data.
[0080] For example, the tapered optical waveguide structure takes 1.5 μm and 400-500 nm double-wavelength signals as input, the waveguide width gradually changes from 10 μm to 5 μm, the mode field diameter is compressed from 6 μm to 4.2 μm, and the 5 μm mode field tolerance of a single-mode optical fiber is matched. The splitter uses an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) design, the channel spacing is 100 nm, and the crosstalk suppression is-30 dB at 1550 nm and 450 nm wavelength bands. The directional coupler uses an asymmetric waveguide structure, the waveguide spacing is 2 μm, the coupling length is 200 μm, the coupling efficiency of the TE mode and the TM mode is 95% and 88% respectively. According to the intensity distribution detected by the optical field analyzer, the taper angle of the tapered waveguide is dynamically adjusted from 5° to 3°, and the output spot uniformity is improved to 90%. If the polarization analyzer detects that the polarization extinction ratio is lower than 15 dB, a 5V bias voltage is applied to the lithium niobate polarization controller to correct the extinction ratio to more than 20 dB. The fiber array is packaged with a V-shaped groove, the core spacing is 250 μm, the spacing between the tapered waveguide end face is controlled within 1 μm, and the insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB. Based on the power fluctuation data monitored by the spectrometer, the Bragg grating filter is set to 5 nm bandwidth at 1550 nm, the reflectivity is 99%, and the output power stability is ensured within ±0.1 dBm. The optical communication system uses a QPSK demodulation algorithm to analyze the double-channel data at a symbol rate of 25 Gbaud, and the bit error rate is less than 1E-12.
[0081] The power difference data is obtained by monitoring the channel power difference of the output optical signal in real time through the integrated photodetector. Specifically, the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal output by the dual-channel output module are received by the integrated photodetector, and converted into corresponding electrical signals. The electrical signals output by the photodetector are sampled by an analog-to-digital converter to obtain digital voltage values of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal. The power values of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal are calculated based on the digital voltage values, and the optical power data of each channel is obtained. The power difference between the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal is calculated by comparing the power values of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal, and the power difference data is obtained. If the power difference data exceeds a preset threshold, the power balancing algorithm is triggered, and a modulator driving signal adjustment instruction is generated. The interference arm driving signal of the dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator in the optical modulation module is modified according to the adjustment instruction to change the modulation intensity, and the updated composite optical signal is obtained. The updated composite optical signal is processed by the dual-channel output module to separate into new first wavelength signal and second wavelength signal, and output to the photodetector. The new first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal are detected again by the photodetector, converted into new electrical signals, and the updated digital voltage values are obtained. The power difference data is recalculated based on the updated digital voltage values, and it is judged whether the power difference is within the preset threshold range to generate a monitoring result.
[0082] For example, the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal output by the dual-channel output module are received by the integrated photodetector, and the optical signals are converted into electrical signals. For example, the first wavelength signal is visible light with a wavelength of 400-500 nm, and the second wavelength signal is infrared light with a wavelength of 1.5 μm. The photodetector outputs corresponding current signals. The output current signals of the photodetector are sampled by an analog-to-digital converter at a sampling frequency of 1 MHz to obtain digital voltage values of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal, which are 2.5 V and 3.2 V, respectively. The optical power values are calculated based on the digital voltage values, and the formula P=k·V 2wherein k is a photoelectric conversion coefficient, the first wavelength signal power value is calculated to be 6.25 mW, and the second wavelength signal power value is calculated to be 10.24 mW. By comparing the power values of the two signals, the power difference data is calculated to be 3.99 mW. If the power difference data exceeds the preset threshold of 2 mW, the power balancing algorithm is triggered, and a modulator driving signal adjustment instruction is generated using a PID control algorithm, for example, the driving voltage of the first wavelength signal is increased by 0.5 V. According to the adjustment instruction, the interference arm driving signal of the dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator in the optical modulation module is modified, the modulation intensity of the first wavelength signal is increased by 20%, and the updated composite optical signal is obtained. The updated composite optical signal is processed by the dual-channel output module, and the composite optical signal is separated into a new first wavelength signal and a second wavelength signal by a wave splitter, and output to a photodetector. The new first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal are detected again by the photodetector, converted into new digital voltage values, and the updated digital voltage values are obtained, which are 3.0 V and 3.2 V, respectively. According to the updated digital voltage values, the power difference data is recalculated, and the power difference is calculated to be 1.44 mW using the same formula. It is judged that the power difference is within the preset threshold of 2 mW, and a monitoring result is generated.
[0083] According to the power difference data, the driving signal of the optical modulation module is adjusted using a feedback control module to obtain an optimized dual-channel modulation signal.
[0084] (1) The power data of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal output by the dual-channel output module is obtained by the optical detector to obtain real-time power values. (2) According to the real-time power values, the power difference data between the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal is calculated to determine the power difference value. (3) If the power difference value exceeds the preset threshold, an adjustment signal is generated by the feedback control module to obtain the initial driving signal correction parameter. (4) According to the initial driving signal correction parameter, the interference arm voltage of the dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator in the optical modulation module is adjusted to obtain a preliminary modulation signal. (5) The preliminary modulation signal is output to the dual-channel output module by the optical modulation module to obtain the power of the separated first wavelength and second wavelength signals, and the new power difference value is determined. (6) If the new power difference value still exceeds the preset threshold, the driving signal correction parameter is iteratively updated by the feedback control module to determine the optimized driving signal parameter. (7) According to the optimized driving signal parameter, the quantum well structure bias voltage of the electroabsorption modulator array in the optical modulation module is adjusted to obtain an optimized dual-channel modulation signal. (8) The optimized dual-channel modulation signal is separated by the wave splitter of the dual-channel output module to obtain the final power data of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal, and the power balance state is determined. (9) According to the power balance state, the current driving signal parameter is stored by the feedback control module to obtain a stable dual-channel modulation signal output.
[0085] For example, the power data of the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal output by the dual-channel output module is acquired by the light detector, for example, the first wavelength signal power is 10 mW, and the second wavelength signal power is 8 mW, to obtain the real-time power value. According to the real-time power value, the power difference data between the first wavelength signal and the second wavelength signal is calculated, for example, the power difference value is 2 mW, and the power difference value is determined. If the power difference value exceeds the preset threshold value, for example, the preset threshold value is 1 mW, an adjustment signal is generated by the feedback control module to obtain an initial driving signal correction parameter, for example, the adjustment voltage is 0.5 V. According to the initial driving signal correction parameter, the interference arm voltage of the dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator in the optical modulation module is adjusted, for example, the first interference arm voltage is adjusted from 2 V to 2.5 V, to obtain the preliminary modulation signal. The preliminary modulation signal is output to the dual-channel output module by the optical modulation module, and the power of the separated first wavelength and second wavelength signals is acquired, for example, the first wavelength signal power is 9.8 mW, and the second wavelength signal power is 9.2 mW, and the new power difference value is determined to be 0.6 mW. If the new power difference value still exceeds the preset threshold value, the driving signal correction parameter is iteratively updated by the feedback control module, for example, the adjustment voltage is optimized from 0.5 V to 0.3 V, and the optimized driving signal parameter is determined. According to the optimized driving signal parameter, the quantum well structure bias voltage of the electro-absorption modulator array in the optical modulation module is adjusted, for example, the first quantum well bias voltage is adjusted from 1 V to 1.3 V, to obtain the optimized dual-channel modulation signal. The final first wavelength signal and second wavelength signal power data is acquired by separating the optimized dual-channel modulation signal by the wave separator of the dual-channel output module, for example, the first wavelength signal power is 10 mW, and the second wavelength signal power is 9.9 mW, and the power balance state is determined. According to the power balance state, the current driving signal parameter is stored by the feedback control module, for example, the first interference arm voltage is stored as 2.3 V, and the first quantum well bias voltage is stored as 1.3 V, to obtain the stable dual-channel modulation signal output.
[0086] The optimized dual-channel modulation signal is output to an external optical communication system to complete dual-channel optical communication.
[0087] The first light source module emits light signals of a first wavelength through an external power supply, which are transmitted to the input end of the mode multiplexing module through the first optical waveguide, to obtain stable transmission of the first wavelength light signals. The second light source module emits light signals of a second wavelength through an external power supply, which are transmitted to the other input end of the mode multiplexing module through the second optical waveguide, to obtain stable transmission of the second wavelength light signals. The mode multiplexing module is used to process the first wavelength light signals and the second wavelength light signals through mode multiplexing technology, to obtain a composite optical signal output by a single optical waveguide. The optical modulation module is used to modulate the composite optical signal through intensity modulation, phase modulation or polarization modulation based on electro-optic effect or thermo-optic effect, to obtain a dual-channel modulation signal. If the optical modulation module is a dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator, the first channel and the second channel are loaded with driving signals through two independent modulation interference arms, to obtain the modulated dual-channel signal; if an electro-absorption modulator array is used, two groups of independent quantum well structures are used to correspond to dual-wavelength modulation, to obtain the modulated dual-channel signal; if a ring resonator modulator is used, selective modulation of the dual channels is realized through resonant wavelength matching, to obtain the modulated dual-channel signal. The wavelength separator of the dual-channel output module is used to separate the modulated composite optical signal by wavelength, to obtain independent first wavelength signals and second wavelength signals. The arrayed waveguide grating is used to accurately separate the dual-channel signals according to wavelength differences, to obtain the separated dual-channel signals. The tapered coupling structure is used to couple the separated dual-channel signals to an external optical fiber through a tapered waveguide, the end face inclination angle is 5°-15°, to obtain a coupling signal with low reflection loss. The external optical communication system is used to receive the coupling signal, to complete dual-channel optical communication, and to obtain dual-channel communication data.
[0088] For example, the first light source module uses a 1550 nm DFB laser, and is connected to a 3 V DC power supply. The light is transmitted to the left input end of a Y-shaped coupler of the mode multiplexing module through a silicon nitride optical waveguide with a width of 1.5 μm in a TE mode, and the waveguide loss is controlled to be less than 0.2 dB / cm. The second light source module uses a 1310 nm FP laser, and is connected to a 3.5 V bias voltage. The light is transmitted to the right input end of the Y-shaped coupler through a second optical waveguide with the same structure, and the two light signals are coupled with a coupling efficiency of 98% in the coupler through mode field matching. The mode multiplexing module uses a multimode interference coupler with a length of 50 μm and a width of 10 μm, which multiplexes the 1550 nm and 1310 nm light signals into a single output waveguide, and the crosstalk suppression is better than -30 dB. The optical modulation module selects a dual-channel Mach-Zehnder modulator, and the two arms of the modulator are loaded with 10 Gbps NRZ encoded 5 Vpp differential electrical signals, respectively. The signals are subjected to π / 2 phase modulation through the linear electro-optic effect of a lithium niobate waveguide, and the modulation depth reaches 90%. If an electro-absorption modulator array is used, the thickness of the InGaAsP quantum well layer is set to 10 nm, and a reverse bias voltage of 2 V is applied to achieve an extinction ratio of 20 dB. The ring resonator modulator is set to have a radius of 20 μm and a Q value greater than 10,000. The resonant peak is aligned with 1550 nm / 1310 nm through thermal tuning. The dual-channel output module uses a 32-channel arrayed waveguide grating with a wavelength interval of 0.8 nm and a diffraction angle of 15°, which separates the combined signal into two independent signals at 1550.12 nm and 1310.06 nm. The output end of the tapered coupling structure gradually shrinks from 3 μm to 0.5 μm, and the tilt angle is set to 8°. After aligning with a single-mode optical fiber, the reflection loss is less than -50 dB. The PIN detector of the external optical communication system has a responsivity of 0.8 A / W, and a DSP chip is used to complete the demodulation of the 25 GBaud PAM4 signal.
