一种激光器频率噪声测量方法及系统A laser frequency noise measurement method and system

技术领域technical field

By constructing an optoelectronic hybrid oscillator based on an optical comb modulator, the laser to be tested is used as the light source of the optoelectronic oscillator. During the formation of oscillation, the frequency noise of the laser to be tested will be transferred to the radio frequency oscillation signal of the optoelectronic oscillator.

背景技术Background technique

单频、窄线宽激光器是众多应用系统的关键部件,包括激光雷达、相干光通信系统、高精度的光学传感以及高稳定度的光学原子钟等。一般而言,激光器的线宽是通过测量其频率噪声的功率谱密度来衡量。近些年来,随着窄线宽激光器的发展,高灵敏度的窄线宽激光器频率噪声测量显得越来越重要。传统测量激光器频率噪声的方案主要包含四类:第一类是采用延时自拍频法;第二类是基于马赫-曾德调制器将激光器的频率噪声转移为激光功率抖动,从而获得待测激光器的频率噪声;第三类是采用光学谐振腔将激光器的频率噪声转化为光功率的抖动,然后测量得到激光器的频率噪声;第四类是将频率噪声极低的窄线宽激光器作为参考源,把待测激光器和参考激光器进行拍频,然后得到待测激光器的频率噪声。Single-frequency, narrow-linewidth lasers are key components of many application systems, including lidar, coherent optical communication systems, high-precision optical sensing, and high-stability optical atomic clocks. In general, the linewidth of a laser is measured by measuring the power spectral density of its frequency noise. In recent years, with the development of narrow linewidth lasers, it is more and more important to measure the frequency noise of narrow linewidth lasers with high sensitivity. The traditional schemes for measuring laser frequency noise mainly include four categories: the first category is to use the time-delayed Selfie method; the second category is to transfer the frequency noise of the laser into laser power jitter based on the Mach-Zehnder modulator, so as to obtain the measured laser frequency noise. The third type is to use an optical resonator to convert the frequency noise of the laser into optical power jitter, and then measure the frequency noise of the laser; the fourth type is to use a narrow linewidth laser with extremely low frequency noise as a reference source. Beat the frequency of the laser under test and the reference laser, and then obtain the frequency noise of the laser under test.

以下是一些已有的激光器频率噪声的测量技术和方案:The following are some existing laser frequency noise measurement techniques and schemes:

方案1是文献D.Derickson,Fiber Optic Test and Measurement(Prentice-Hall,1998)所描述的测量方案。该方案利用一个延迟干涉仪,通过将待测激光器的信号进行延时,经过延时之后达到了延时信号和不延时信号的去相关操作,最后与待测激光器直接输出的光信号进行拍频,从而达到了测量激光器频率噪声的目的。Scheme 1 is the measurement scheme described in the document D. Derickson, Fiber Optic Test and Measurement (Prentice-Hall, 1998). This scheme uses a delay interferometer to delay the signal of the laser to be tested. After the delay, the de-correlation operation of the delayed signal and the undelayed signal is achieved, and finally the optical signal directly output by the laser to be tested is photographed. Frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of measuring the laser frequency noise.

方案2是浙江大学申请的公开专利,公开号为CN 102183362。该方案通过采用马赫曾德干涉仪,完成对激光器的频率噪声到光强的转换,达到了测量激光器频率噪声的目的。Scheme 2 is a public patent applied by Zhejiang University, and the publication number is CN 102183362. The scheme uses the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to complete the conversion of the frequency noise of the laser to the light intensity, and achieves the purpose of measuring the frequency noise of the laser.

方案3是浙江大学申请的公开专利,公开号为CN 102692314A。该方案利用一个光纤谐振腔,将激光器的频率噪声转化为光场的幅度波动,从而达到了测量激光器频率噪声的目的。Scheme 3 is a public patent applied by Zhejiang University, and the publication number is CN 102692314A. This scheme uses a fiber resonant cavity to convert the frequency noise of the laser into the amplitude fluctuation of the optical field, thus achieving the purpose of measuring the frequency noise of the laser.

方案4是2017年法国巴黎天文台提出的表征窄线宽激光器频率噪声的方案(X.Xie,R.Bouchand,D.Nicolodi,M.Lours,C.Alexandre,and Y.L.Coq,“Phase noisecharacterization of sub-hertz linewidth lasers via digital crosscorrelation,”Opt.Lett.42(7),1217-1220(2017).)。该方案采用了两个极窄线宽、极低频率噪声的单频激光器作为参考,将待测激光器分别与两个参考激光器进行拍频,通过测量拍频电信号的相位噪声,达到间接测量待测激光器的频率噪声的目的。Scheme 4 is a scheme proposed by the Paris Observatory in 2017 to characterize the frequency noise of narrow linewidth lasers (X.Xie, R.Bouchand, D.Nicolodi, M.Lours, C.Alexandre, and Y.L.Coq, "Phase noisecharacterization of sub- hertz linewidth lasers via digital crosscorrelation," Opt. Lett. 42(7), 1217-1220(2017).). This scheme uses two single-frequency lasers with extremely narrow linewidth and extremely low frequency noise as references, beats the laser to be tested with the two reference lasers, and measures the phase noise of the beat frequency electrical signal to achieve indirect measurement. The purpose of measuring the frequency noise of the laser.

基于延迟干涉仪测量激光器频率噪声的方法在测量极窄线宽激光器时,需要长达几公里甚至几十公里量级的光纤作为延时线,由于长光纤的引入,造成极大的光损耗,并且长光纤的引入带来了不可避免的散射噪声,降低了频率噪声测量系统的灵敏度,并且这种方法并没有区分激光器的频率噪声和强度噪声;基于马赫曾德调制器的方案,受限于调制器的频率噪声到强度噪声转化系数较低的限制,难以实现更高灵敏度的激光器频率噪声测量;采用光纤谐振腔的方案,测量系统容易受到环境的干扰,降低了激光器频率噪声测量的稳定性;采用低频率噪声、高稳定度的参考激光器的方案,实现成本高,难以测量任意波长激光器的频率噪声。The method of measuring laser frequency noise based on a delay interferometer requires an optical fiber with a length of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers as a delay line when measuring an extremely narrow linewidth laser. Due to the introduction of a long optical fiber, it causes a huge optical loss. And the introduction of long optical fiber brings inevitable scattering noise, which reduces the sensitivity of the frequency noise measurement system, and this method does not distinguish the frequency noise and intensity noise of the laser; the scheme based on the Mach-Zehnder modulator is limited by The low frequency noise to intensity noise conversion coefficient of the modulator makes it difficult to achieve higher sensitivity laser frequency noise measurement; the fiber resonator scheme is used, the measurement system is easily disturbed by the environment, which reduces the stability of laser frequency noise measurement ; The solution of using a reference laser with low frequency noise and high stability is expensive to implement, and it is difficult to measure the frequency noise of a laser with any wavelength.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面结合附图对本发明的方案进行进一步详细描述。The solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

本发明的方案原理如图1所示。待测激光器输出连续波激光,并且注入到光梳调制器中,该光梳调制器是由高带宽的电光相位调制器两端镀高反膜所构成,两端的高反膜形成了一个高精细度的法布里-珀罗腔。由于光梳调制器存在一定的光损耗,因此需要采用掺铒光纤放大器对光梳调制器输出的光信号进行放大。放大之后的光信号被一个50%的光耦合器分成两束,两束光被送入到不同长度的标准单模光纤中,采用两段标准单模光纤是为了形成双环结构的光电混合振荡环路,从而能够抑制光电混合振荡器中振荡信号的副振荡模式,两段光纤的长度差别越大能够更有效的抑制副振荡模式。一般最长一段的光纤长度不超过10km,两段光纤长度差别一般在10倍以上。两个光电探测器分别将经过标准单模光纤传输之后的光信号转换成电信号,两个光电探测器输出的电信号通过50%微波功率合成器进行功率合成。除了采用光纤耦合器分成两束光形成光电混合振荡器的双环结构之外,还有采用偏振双环结构实现,即采用光纤偏振分束器将入射光分成两个偏振方向,两个偏振方向的光经过两段不同长度的保偏光纤之后,再经过偏振合束器合成一路光信号,通过一个光电探测器即可同时探测到两路信号,从而实现了双环结构的光电混合振荡器,该结构可见文献J.Wang,Y.Long,W.Tian,Z.Tai,and Y.Ze,“An Optical Domain CombinedDual-Loop Optoelectronic Oscillator,”IEEE Photonics Technology Letters,19(11),807-809,(2007)。50%微波功率合成器后端的微波移相器能够对50%微波功率合成器输出的微波信号进行移相。由于光电探测器输出的电信号功率较小,因此采用了三个低相位噪声放大器级联对其进行放大。低相位噪声放大器具有极低的闪烁噪声,能够降低电放大器对激光器频率噪声测量灵敏度的影响。由于光梳调制器中的法布里-珀罗腔存在多个透射峰,从而会形成光电混合振荡环路中多个模式的振荡,因此在环路中增加了一个窄带的电带通滤波器对其他振荡模式进行抑制。低相位噪声放大器3的输出信号进入到一个微波定向耦合器,微波定向耦合器有两个输出端口,其中大部分的微波功率被用于直流偏置器的交流输入,微波定向耦合器分出一小部分微波功率被用于测量其相位噪声,相位噪声的测量可以通过商用的相位噪声测试仪来实现。直流偏置器有两个输入端口和一个输出端口,其中输入端口包含交流输入端口和直流电压端口,直流偏置器的输出端口与光梳调制器的驱动端口相连。直流偏置器所提供的直流偏压是作为光梳调制器中的电光调制器的偏置电压,通过外加可调的直流稳压源进行提供。The scheme principle of the present invention is shown in Figure 1. The laser to be tested outputs continuous wave laser and injects it into the optical comb modulator. The optical comb modulator is composed of high-bandwidth electro-optical phase modulator coated with high-reflection film at both ends. The high-reflection film at both ends forms a high-definition degree Fabry-Perot cavity. Since the optical comb modulator has a certain optical loss, it is necessary to use an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to amplify the optical signal output by the optical comb modulator. The amplified optical signal is divided into two beams by a 50% optical coupler, and the two beams are sent into standard single-mode optical fibers of different lengths. Two sections of standard single-mode optical fibers are used to form an optical-electrical hybrid oscillation ring with a double-ring structure. In order to suppress the sub-oscillation mode of the oscillating signal in the photoelectric hybrid oscillator, the greater the length difference between the two sections of optical fiber, the more effective the sub-oscillation mode can be suppressed. Generally, the length of the longest section of optical fiber does not exceed 10 km, and the difference in the length of the two sections of optical fiber is generally more than 10 times. The two photodetectors respectively convert the optical signal transmitted by the standard single-mode optical fiber into an electrical signal, and the electrical signals output by the two photodetectors are combined by a 50% microwave power combiner. In addition to using a fiber coupler to split the light into two beams to form a double-ring structure of an optoelectronic hybrid oscillator, there is also a polarization double-ring structure, that is, using a fiber optic polarization beam splitter to split the incident light into two polarization directions, and the light in the two polarization directions After passing through two sections of polarization-maintaining optical fiber with different lengths, one optical signal is synthesized by a polarization beam combiner, and two signals can be detected simultaneously by a photodetector, thereby realizing a double-ring structure photoelectric hybrid oscillator. The structure can be seen Literature J.Wang, Y.Long, W.Tian, Z.Tai, and Y.Ze, "An Optical Domain Combined Dual-Loop Optoelectronic Oscillator," IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 19(11), 807-809, (2007) . The microwave phase shifter at the back end of the 50% microwave power combiner can phase-shift the microwave signal output by the 50% microwave power combiner. Since the power of the electric signal output by the photodetector is small, three low phase noise amplifiers are cascaded to amplify it. The low phase noise amplifier has extremely low flicker noise, which can reduce the influence of the electric amplifier on the measurement sensitivity of laser frequency noise. Since the Fabry-Perot cavity in the optical comb modulator has multiple transmission peaks, which will form multiple modes of oscillation in the photoelectric hybrid oscillation loop, a narrow-band electric bandpass filter is added in the loop Suppression of other oscillation modes. The output signal of the low phase noise amplifier 3 enters a microwave directional coupler, and the microwave directional coupler has two output ports, wherein most of the microwave power is used for the AC input of the DC bias device, and the microwave directional coupler splits a A small part of the microwave power is used to measure its phase noise, and the measurement of phase noise can be realized by a commercial phase noise tester. The DC bias has two input ports and an output port, wherein the input port includes an AC input port and a DC voltage port, and the output port of the DC bias is connected with the drive port of the optical comb modulator. The DC bias voltage provided by the DC bias device is used as the bias voltage of the electro-optical modulator in the optical comb modulator, and is provided by adding an adjustable DC voltage source.
