In a coherent optical communication system, a coherent receiver needs to use a self-excited or phase-locked laser as local oscillation light to convert an optical frequency signal into a fundamental frequency or an intermediate frequency; this requires that the local oscillator light and the signal light have a stable frequency difference.

The technical scheme of the invention is further described in detail by the following specific embodiments in combination with the attached drawings:

example 1:

fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a method for controlling a frequency difference of a laser, which includes the following steps:

s1: presetting a target frequency difference in the FPGA;

s2: the optical coupler receives two paths of laser signals sent by a laser in a communication system to obtain a beat frequency signal, and the photoelectric detector receives the beat frequency signal and converts the beat frequency signal to obtain an electric signal;

s3: the FPGA receives the electric signal from the photoelectric detector, converts the electric signal into a digital signal, performs Fourier transform on the digital signal, and outputs a transform sequence containing electric signal frequency information;

s4: calculating the power value of each point in the conversion sequence through the FPGA, and finding out the frequency point corresponding to the point with the maximum power value;

s5: calculating by using the frequency points to obtain the frequency value of the current input signal in the FPGA, namely obtaining the actual frequency difference of the two paths of laser;

s6: and comparing the actual frequency difference with a preset target frequency difference, calculating an output voltage value according to a comparison result, feeding back the output voltage value to the servo system, and changing the frequencies of two paths of laser signals output by the laser by the servo system according to the output voltage value.

The optical coupler in this embodiment includes a first optical coupler, a second optical coupler, and a third optical coupler, and step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

s21: the first optical coupler and the second optical coupler respectively split the two paths of laser signals to obtain a first light beam and a second light beam, and the second light beam is transmitted in the communication system; it should be understood that the two laser signals are both split by the optical coupler, and the optical coupler only affects the power of the laser and does not affect the frequency of the laser, wherein the power of the first beam is smaller than the power of the second beam, the second beam continues to transmit in the communication system to ensure the normal function of the communication system, and the first beam is used as a signal for controlling the frequency difference;

s22: combining the first light beams of the two paths of lasers in a third optical coupler to obtain a beat frequency signal;

s23: the photodetector receives the beat frequency signal and converts it into an electrical signal, wherein the relationship between the electrical signal and the first light beam is:

I∝|E₁cos(ω₁t)+E₂cos(ω₂t)|²

＝E₁ ²cos²(ω₁t)+E₂ ²cos²(ω₂t)+2E₁E₂cos(ω₁t)cos(ω₂t)，

wherein I is the intensity of the electrical signal, E₁、E₂Amplitude, omega, of two lasers, respectively₁、ω₂The frequency of the two laser paths is respectively, and t is time.

In step S23, the photodetector isolates the dc component in the electrical signal, which is further represented as:

I_RF∝2E₁E₂cos(ω₁t)cos(ω₂t)

＝E₁E₂·{cos[(ω₁-ω₂)·t]+cos[(ω₁+ω₂)·t]}

≈E₁E₂·{cos[(ω₁-ω₂)·t]}，

wherein, I_RFIs the intensity of the AC component, E₁E₂·{cos[(ω₁-ω₂)·t]Is a low frequency sine wave, wherein the frequency of the low frequency sine wave is indicative of the frequency difference between the two lasers, E₁E₂·{cos[(ω₁+ω₂)·t]Is a high frequency sine wave, where the frequency of the high frequency sine wave can represent the sum of the frequencies of the two lasers. Therefore, the frequency sum of the two laser beams can exceed the detection bandwidth of the photoelectric detector and cannot be detected, the photoelectric detector only detects low-frequency components in signals, and the low-frequency sine wave frequency of the electric signals finally output to the FPGA is the frequency difference of the two laser beams, so that the subsequent FPGA can directly calculate and process the electric signals, and the processing steps of the FPGA are simplified.

Because the frequency of the electrical signal input into the FPGA may be greater than one-half of the sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter, according to the nyquist sampling theorem, the frequency spectrum of the electrical signal may be aliased, which is not favorable for subsequent data processing and frequency difference control, in step S3 in this embodiment, the electrical signal is down-sampled by the analog-to-digital converter in the FPGA to obtain a digital signal. Therefore, when the frequency of the electric signal input into the FPGA is greater than one half of the sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter and does not accord with the sampling theorem, part of waveform data is filtered, a low-frequency sine wave can be obtained, a fixed numerical value related to the current frequency value can be obtained after Fourier transform, and the frequency difference can be controlled subsequently.

In this embodiment, the step S4 of calculating the power of each point in the transform sequence specifically includes:

and respectively carrying out square calculation on the real part and the imaginary part of each point in the transformed sequence, and adding the results obtained by square calculation of the real part and the imaginary part corresponding to each point to obtain the power of each point.

In this embodiment, the step S4 of finding out the frequency point corresponding to the maximum power value specifically includes the following steps:

setting the initial maximum power value to be zero;

comparing the current power value with the initial maximum power value; if the current power value is larger than the initial maximum power value, recording the sequence number of the current moment, and updating the initial maximum power value into the current power value;

if the current power value is smaller than the initial maximum power value, keeping the maximum power value unchanged;

and when the output sequence reaches one half of the number of Fourier transform points, stopping calculation, and outputting a frequency point corresponding to the maximum power value.

In step S5 of this embodiment, if 2048-point fourier transform of 125MHz is used, and the number of sequence points corresponding to the maximum power value is 500, the current frequency value can be calculated by the following formula:

(125/2048*500)MHz＝30.52MHz

in step S6 in this embodiment, a voltage step is first set, and if the current frequency is lower than the target frequency value, the output voltage is increased by the set voltage step and fed back to the laser; if the current frequency value is larger than the target frequency value, the output voltage value is reduced by the set voltage step length and fed back to the laser. Specifically, when the input voltage increases, the frequency of the light output by the laser also increases, and when the input voltage decreases, the frequency of the light output by the laser also decreases; it is worth noting that by executing the steps in this embodiment in a circulating manner, the frequency difference between the two laser signals in the communication system can be continuously controlled, so as to achieve frequency stabilization of the two laser signals, thereby improving the stability and communication quality of the communication system.

In the embodiment, the FPGA is utilized to process the laser signal, so that the processing process is simplified; because the analog-to-digital converter in the FPGA performs down-sampling on the electric signal, the FPGA can be suitable for a wider laser frequency range; in addition, the target frequency difference preset in the FPGA can be conveniently programmed and changed, and meanwhile, the FPGA can control the actual frequency difference within a certain numerical range, rather than directly controlling the actual frequency difference to be zero, so that the method is more suitable for a coherent optical communication system.

The photodetector in this embodiment is a photodetector having a dc blocking structure. Therefore, the frequency of the electric signal output by the photoelectric detector is only a low-frequency sine wave, the frequency of the electric signal can directly represent the frequency difference of two paths of laser signals, and the subsequent processing steps for calculating the frequency difference are reduced.
