- Abstract:
- Aimed at the problem of narrow tunability and low frequency microwave signal generated by the optical method, a novel approach to stabilizing the tunable photonic microwave generated by the multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser is proposed and is experimentally demonstrated. A single-longitudinal-mode Brillouin fiber laser is designed, and by using the laser, a multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser with more than eleven orders of Stokes wave is observed. The wavelength spacing of the adjacent Stokes wave is 0.085 nm. If the Brillouin pump power is increased, the number of Stokes wave output can be further increased. The tunable microwave signals of 10.8 and 21.6 GHz are obtained by heterodyning the Rayleigh wave and Stokes wave of the multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser. In the experiment, by tuning the pump wavelength and temperature of the gain fiber, microwave signals at different frequencies are generated. The tunable frequency range can be further expanded by using a temperature controller with a wider adjustment range, and the generated microwave signal exhibits high stability on frequency.
