Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention pertains to an integrated control subsystem, and more particularly, to a method of silicon-based pilot Ji Mahe Zehnder modulator bias control device and system. Background technique [0002] Traditional LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder modulator as a high-bandwidth, low-power, low-chirp performance electro-optic modulator, having a very wide range of applications in the field of optical communications, microwave photonic, optoelectronic oscillator. However, due to environmental temperature fluctuations, and the uneven distribution of the charge accumulation and other reasons, the bias point of LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder modulator drift often occurs to some extent, thereby deteriorating transmission characteristics, affect the function of the overall system modulation. To solve this problem, often use closed loop feedback control scheme to shift the bias point of the modulator real-time tracking and accordingly to compensate for drift amount, thereby stabi...
