Simultaneous Measurements for Tunable Laser Source Linewidth with Homodyne Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
The linewidth characteristics of a commercial tunable laser source (TLS) are measured experimentally employing self-homodyne detection method. Three linewidths are obtained at different operating wavelengths with two optical fiber delay lengths. It is found that a slightly higher values are obtained with a longer length of the delay fiber. The long of (50 km and 25 km) of single mode fiber SMF is enough to provide delay for the self-homodyne linewidth measurement.

Precise measurement of ultra-narrow laser linewidths using the strong coherent envelope
Laser linewidth narrowing down to kHz or even Hz is an important topic in areas like clock synchronization technology, laser radars, quantum optics, and high-precision detection. Conventional decoherence measurement methods like delayed self-heterodyne/homodyne interferometry cannot measure such narrow linewidths accurately. This is because a broadening of the Gaussian spectrum, which hides the...
متن کاملASK Multiport Optical Homodyne Receivers
Several types of ASK multiport homodyne receivers are investigated, and the impact of the phase noise and of the shot noise on these receivers is analyzed. The simplest structure is the conventional multiport receiver with a matched filter in each branch. This structure can tolerate AvT (Av is the laser linewidth and T is the bit duration) of several percent with a small power penalty (3.6 perc...
متن کاملCarrier Synchronization for Homodyne and Heterodyne Detection of Optical Quadriphase-Shift Keying
We investigate, through analysis and simulation, the performance of four carrier-synchronization techniques suitable for both homodyne and heterodyne detection of optical quadriphase-shift keying: the discrete-time decision-directed loop, the analog decision-directed loop, the Costas quadriphase loop, and the fourth-power phase-locked loop. Accounting for shot noise, laser phase noise, and feed...
متن کاملTunable Homodyne Detection using Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing to Automatically Lock a “Local” Pump Laser to an Incoming 20-to-40-Gbaud QPSK Data Signal
We propose and demonstrate tunable homodyne detection using nonlinear optical signal processing to automatically lock a “local” pump laser to an incoming 20-to-40-Gbaud QPSK data signal. Open eyes are obtained for both in-phase and quadrature components of the signal after ~200km transmission over SMF-28 and DCF fibers. The BER performance of the proposed homodyne detection scheme is also compa...
متن کاملRemote single-ended measurements of atmospheric temperature and humidity at 1.77 microm using a continuously tunable source.
Simultaneous remote measurements of temperature and humidity using a narrow-linewidth, continuously tunable, LiNbO(3) optical parametric oscillator as a transmitter source are reported. Relative measurement errors of 1.0 degrees C for temperature and better than 1% for humidity over a 45-sec averaging time are observed. The absolute accuracy is limited by the accuracy of available spectroscopic...
