Phase frequency characteristic measurement method for tunable fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter and application

Abstract

The invention provides a phase frequency characteristic measurement method for a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter and application. The method comprises the following steps of: when the input signal frequency is low, adjusting the direct-current bias voltage of the tunable FFP filter so that the central wavelength of the filter is aligned with the wavelength of a laser device; when the inputsignal frequency is increased, recording time components of the peak value of input signals and the local minimal value of output optical signals through a digital storage oscilloscope; and calculating the phase difference between the local minimal value of the output optical signals and the peak value of the input signals by using the relationship between the period and the phase in a trigonometric function to obtain the phase frequency characteristics of the tunable FFP filter under different frequencies. By using the measurement result, the measurement error of the central wavelength of the tunable FFP filter can be calculated, and important reference basis is provided for time constant design of a locked loop in a wavelength locking controller.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot (Fiber Fabry-Perot, FFP) filter, in particular to a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter phase-frequency characteristics New measurement methods and applications. Background technique [0002] In optical communication, sensor signal demodulation and high-precision spectrum analysis, it is necessary to design a controller with a tunable FFP filter to scan or track the wavelength of the light source. Since the electrical characteristics of the tuning device PZT (piezoelectric ceramic) in the tunable FFP filter are similar to those of the capacitor, the time constant of the different input signal frequency will change, so that the output signal of the tunable FFP filter is different from the input signal The time delay. This time delay will cause the phase of the multi-beam interference in the FFP filter to change, and cause the center wavelength of the tunable FFP filter to change. When judging...
