The invention discloses an ODAC implementation
system and method based on a five-segment thermo-
optical phase modulator, and relates to the technical field of
optical communication, and the method comprises the following steps: obtaining single-mode
laser input, dividing the single-mode
laser input into two paths through a multi-mode interference device
beam splitter, and transmitting the single-mode
laser input into an upper arm and a lower arm of a Mach-Zehnder modulator; the current is adjusted through the thermo-optic phase modulator to control the temperature, the
refractive index is changed to introduce phase
delay, and the
phase difference of two arms of the Mach-Zehnder modulator is calibrated; on the basis of a five-segment thermo-
optical modulator, hierarchical
amplitude modulation is carried out on
beam splitting light according to
digital input, a
phase space is constructed by utilizing weight combination, and a linear optimal discrete state is screened; the modulated light is combined by a multi-mode interference device beam combiner, and digital-analog mapping output of
light intensity is carried out; a
detector installed at an output port of the five-segment thermo-
optical phase modulator is used for monitoring output
optical power in real time, the output
optical power is fed back to a
control circuit to calculate errors, thermo-optical modulation current is dynamically adjusted to compensate offset point drift, and optical
digital analog conversion is achieved.
