TLDR
In this paper, an optical device frequency response measurement method and a system is described, in which an optical carrier wave signal of a single wavelength is input into a frequency shift module with a carrier wave so that an optical detection signal with an optical detector and a radio frequency component is acquired; after the signal passes through a device to be detected, the radio frequency signal is acquired through a beat frequency of the optical detection module.
Abstract
The invention discloses an optical device frequency response measurement method and a system. The method is characterized in that an optical carrier wave signal of a single wavelength is input into a frequency shift module with a carrier wave so that an optical detection signal with a carrier wave component and a frequency shift component is acquired; after the signal passes through a device to be detected, a radio frequency signal is acquired through a beat frequency of an optical detection module; a radio frequency amplitude phase extraction module whose working frequency is the same with a frequency shift amount is used to extract an amplitude and a phase information of the radio frequency signal so that combination amplitude frequency response and phase frequency response of an optical device to be detected at two frequency component positions of the optical detection signal are obtained; through calculation, the amplitude frequency response and the phase frequency response at the two frequency component positions are acquired respectively; a wavelength of the optical carrier wave signal is changed and the above processes are repeated so that frequency response of the optical device to be detected is acquired. The invention also discloses an optical device frequency response measurement system. Compared to the prior art, by using the method and the system, the amplitude phase extraction module is only requested to measure a fixed single frequency point so that cost is greatly reduced and simultaneously a bandpass device can be measured.
