7 results about "Relative intensity noise" patented technology

Relative intensity noise (RIN), describes the instability in the power level of a laser. The noise term is important to describe lasers used in fiber-optic communication and LIDAR remote sensing. Relative intensity noise can be generated from cavity vibration, fluctuations in the laser gain medium or simply from transferred intensity noise from a pump source. Since intensity noise typically is proportional to the intensity, the relative intensity noise is typically independent of laser power. Hence, when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is limited by RIN, it does not depend on laser power. In contrast, when SNR is limited by shot noise, it improves with increasing laser power. RIN typically peaks at the relaxation oscillation frequency of the laser then falls off at higher frequencies until it converges to the shot noise level. The roll off frequency sets what is specified as the RIN bandwidth. RIN is sometimes referred to as a kind of 1/f noise otherwise known as pink noise.

The input end of the mode-locked laser ML is connected to a left port of the full-normal dispersion photonic crystal fiber ANDi-PCF, input ports of the full-normal dispersion photonic crystal fiber ANDi-PCF and the photoelectric detector PD are connected to two left ports of the circulator CIR respectively, and a right port of the circulator CIR is connected with a left port of the multifunctional integrated optical chip MIOC. And two ports on the right side of the multifunctional integrated optical chip MIOC are respectively connected with two ports of the waveguide ring resonator WRR. Based on the resonance mode of the full-normal dispersion super-continuum spectrum excitation waveguide ring resonator, the influence of relative intensity noise and shot noise on the gyroscope performance is further reduced by using the broadband and smooth light source spectrum pattern, and finally the angle random walk of the gyroscope is promoted.

Microwave photonic mirror frequency rejection mixing chip and mixing method

ActiveCN116318419BBandpass filteringGrating
This invention discloses a microwave photonic image suppression mixer chip and mixing method. The chip integrates a grating coupler, a 1×2 MMI, two single-input dual-output single-ended push-pull silicon-based carrier depletion modulators, two 2×2 MMIs, and two GeSi balanced photodetectors. This scheme, based on a single dual-parallel modulator structure combined with a balanced detector structure, can achieve both orthogonal intermediate frequency (IF) signal output and image suppression. The system structure is simple and highly stable. It eliminates the need for a narrowband optical bandpass filter, resulting in a large system operating bandwidth. By employing a balanced detector structure, the system's relative intensity noise and RF leakage terms are suppressed, while the output IF term gain is increased, leading to a higher system signal-to-noise ratio.
