Abstract
A high-precision triangular waveform with tunable symmetry photonic generation scheme based on in-phase/quadrature-phase modulation and image-reject down conversion is proposed and analyzed. The optical carrier from the laser diode is split into two paths: one is injected into the I/Q modulator driven by a sinusoidal signal, while the other is injected into a frequency shifter to introduce a frequency offset. Different channels have different frequency offsets. The modulated and frequency-shifted signals enter the image-reject mixer to realize optical down conversion and suppress the frequency mixing interference in the frequency conversion process. Finally, the signals from both channels are coupled to synthesize the first to sixth-order harmonic fitting in the Fourier series. High-precision triangular waveforms generation with tunable symmetry coefficients and repetition frequency of 5 GHz are obtained by simulation. In order to verify the mechanism, a proof-of-concept experiment is carried out. This scheme effectively expands the multi-channel spectrum and enables high-precision functional waveform fitting.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
