Photonic Arbitrary Waveform Generation Based on Delta-Sigma Modulation and Spectrum Stitching
This Letter introduces a novel approach to photonic arbitrary waveform generation (PAWG) that employs delta-sigma modulation (DSM) and spectrum stitching techniques. The approach divides a wideband target signal into multiple spectral sub-signals. Each sub-signal is processed through DSM to produce two 1-bit pulse sequences, which are modulated onto an optical pulse train using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). The DD-MZM operates differentially to double the pulse repetition rate, enhancing the bandwidth of the output waveform. After photodetection, bandpass filtering, and spectrum stitching, a wideband signal can be synthesized. A proof-of-concept experiment successfully demonstrates the generation of chirp signals with different formats, validating the effectiveness and potential of the proposed PAWG method in wideband signal generation.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
