The application discloses a reconfigurable time-
frequency domain mode-locked
optoelectronic oscillator, and belongs to the technical field of
microwave photonics. The oscillator comprises a waveform generator, a
laser, a modulator, a filter, an adjustable attenuator, an
optical fiber, an optoelectronic
detector, an electric
amplifier and an
electric power divider. The waveform generator generates an
electric control signal to control the injection current of the
laser. The
wavelength and power of the
continuous light output by the
laser change with the amplitude of the
electric control signal generated by the waveform generator. The
continuous light output by the laser enters the modulator to generate a modulated
light signal, and then enters the filter for filtering. The filtered modulated
light signal is transmitted through the adjustable attenuator and the
optical fiber, and then enters the optoelectronic
detector. The optoelectronic
detector performs
photoelectric conversion to generate a
microwave signal. The
microwave signal is amplified by the electric
amplifier, and then enters the
electric power divider. In the
electric power divider, the microwave signal is divided into two paths. One path is fed back to the modulator, and the other path is output as the output of the
optoelectronic oscillator. The reconfigurable mode-locked
optoelectronic oscillator is generated by using the waveform generator, the adjustable attenuator and the fast adjustable microwave
photon bandpass filter. Compared with the optoelectronic oscillator which can only work in one mode-locked state, the optoelectronic oscillator of the application can be flexibly switched among the
frequency domain mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator, the
time domain mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator and the time-
frequency domain mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator.
