摘要: A photonic-based microwave generator includes a mode-locked laser that generates an optical pulse train, a feedback photodiode that samples the optical pulse train, and a servo amplifier that processes the photodiode output into a servo signal. The servo signal controls the mode-locked laser to suppress relative intensity noise on the optical pulse train. The microwave generator may also include a microwave photodiode for converting the optical pulse train into a microwave signal. The microwave generator may also include a second servo amplifier that processes a low-frequency output of the microwave photodiode into a second servo signal that drives an optical modulator that modulates the optical pulse train. The microwave photodiode, optical modulator, and servo amplifier form a feedback loop that suppresses amplitude noise on the microwave signal. By reducing amplitude noise and relative intensity noise, phase noise caused by amplitude-to-phase noise conversion is minimized.

摘要: A system and method for safe use of an optics assembly with an external light source and an optically coupled optics module is disclosed. The system includes an external light module emitting a continuous wave laser through an output port. An optics module has an input port and a memory. The optics module generates a modulated optical signal. The memory stores the power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module. An optical jumper is provided for coupling the output port with the input port. A communication bus is coupled between a controller and the external light source module. The controller sets the external light source at a low power level and transitions the external light source to a high power level when the stored power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module exceeds a predetermined level.

摘要: A feedback oscillator, with an amplifier whose output is partially fed back to its input, provides a stable reference for standardization and synchronization. The laser is a feedback oscillator whose performance can be limited by quantum fluctuations. The resulting frequency instability, quantified by the Schawlow-Townes formula, sets a limit to laser linewidth. Here, we show that the Schawlow-Townes formula applies to feedback oscillators beyond lasers. This is because it arises from quantum noise added by the amplifier and an out-coupler in the feedback loop. Tracing the origin of quantum noise in an oscillator informs techniques to systematically evade it: squeezing and entanglement can enable sub-Schawlow-Townes linewidth feedback oscillators. We clarify the quantum limits to the stability of feedback oscillators, derive a standard quantum limit (SQL) for feedback oscillators, and disclose quantum strategies for realizing sub-SQL feedback oscillators.

摘要: An integrated, high-performance amplifier subsystem is based on an optimized design of a multimode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (MM-EDFA) and a wavelength- and mode-selective pump coupler (PC). The length and ring doping profile of the MM-EDF and the pump-mode powers can be optimized to obtain low mode-dependent gain (MDG), low noise figure (NF) and high power-conversion efficiency (PCE). The pump coupler can be designed with high pump-mode efficiency and low signal-mode loss by appropriate selection of the pump mode group and the index exponent of an intermediate graded-index (GI) coupling fiber.
