The invention discloses an LPWG-based on-
chip carrier envelope offset frequency
detector and a self-beat
frequency detection method. The
detector comprises an ultra-short pulse port, a super-continuum spectrum SCG generation area, a long-period
waveguide grating LPWG, a single-mode straight
waveguide, an output straight
waveguide, a
coupling straight waveguide and a tuning
electrode. The device is highly integrated, frequency beating can be completed only through one integrated waveguide
chip, the problems that an existing detection method is high in cost, a
system is complex, and a frequency beating
system is difficult to operate are solved, a
single chip is benefited to generate a cross-
octave super-continuum spectrum and frequency doubling light at the same time, an extra frequency doubling
crystal is not needed any more, and the device is simple in structure and convenient to operate. And due to the fact that the working bandwidth of the LPWG can limit the filtering effect, an external filtering element is not needed any more, and the successful research and development of the LPWG has wide application backgrounds in the aspects of high-precision frequency measurement, optical atomic clocks, stable and reliable on-
chip optical frequency comb research and development and the like, and has important scientific significance and profound practical significance.
