Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microwave photonics, in particular to an on-chip light source modulation system. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, a mode-locked laser is usually used to obtain an optical frequency comb. For example, the Chinese invention patent application with the publication number CN108923250A proposes an on-chip integrated Fourier mode-locked laser, which includes a semiconductor optical amplifier, a microwave photonic microring Filters, beam splitters, optical isolators and on-chip integrated optical delay lines together form an optical loop to generate optical resonance, thereby obtaining an optical frequency comb. [0003] The advantage of obtaining an optical frequency comb through a mode-locked laser is that it can be integrated on a single chip. The disadvantage is that the spectral width of the optical frequency comb is relatively narrow, and the spectral width can reach more than ten nm, and th...
