339 results about "Frequency comb" patented technology

In optics, a frequency comb is a laser source whose spectrum consists of a series of discrete, equally spaced frequency lines. Frequency combs can be generated by a number of mechanisms, including periodic modulation (in amplitude and/or phase) of a continuous-wave laser, four-wave mixing in nonlinear media, or stabilization of the pulse train generated by a mode-locked laser. Much work has been devoted to the latter mechanism, which was developed around the turn of the 21st century and ultimately led to one half of the Nobel Prize in Physics being shared by John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch in 2005.

According to the invention, a low-frequency optical pulse and a high-frequency microwave signal are respectively input into the electro-optical sampling phase-locked loop; and the electro-optical sampling phase-locked loop determines the synchronization error of the optical pulse and the microwave signal based on the phase difference between the optical pulse center point and the microwave signal zero crossing point. And taking the synchronization error as a feedback signal, and continuously adjusting the frequency and the phase of the microwave signal by the voltage-controlled oscillation module until the frequency and the phase are synchronized with the Nth harmonic of the optical pulse. By setting different initial frequencies of the voltage-controlled oscillation module, microwave signals with different integral multiple optical pulse frequencies can be obtained, and broadband tuning of photo-generated microwave signals is realized. Furthermore, the repetition frequency of the frequency comb is locked through beat frequency of two beams of reference laser and two adjacent comb teeth, the stability of the reference laser is transmitted to the optical pulse, and the stability of the reference laser is further transmitted to the microwave signal through synchronization of the optical pulse and the microwave signal, so that the phase noise of the photo-generated microwave signal source is reduced.

Frequency comb-based analog coherent receiver for multi-wavelength optical links

Coherent wavelength division multiplexing is provided using frequency comb sources for both the transmitter and the local oscillator (LO) in the receiver. The local oscillator is made phase coherent with the received multifrequency optical signal using two analog control loops. One of the control loops locks an optical frequency of the local oscillator to an optical frequency of the received frequency comb. The other control loop locks a microwave frequency of the local oscillator (i. e. LO the comb spacing) to the comb spacing of the received frequency comb. As a result, coherent detection is enabled in all channels with just two analog control loops. Control signals for the two loops can be derived from two of the received channels individually (asymmetric carrier recovery), or they can be derived from sum and difference signals from two of the received channels (symmetric carrier recovery).
