A bias-independent inter-modulation method is proposed and demonstrated for measuring low-frequency modulation and bias half-wave voltages of Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs). The method consists of simultaneous sinusoidal modulation on the modulation and bias ports of the MZM under test. Sinusoidal-modulated sidebands heterodyne with each other and generate the desired inter-modulation products after photodetection, which allows extracting both the modulation depth and half-wave voltage for the modulation and bias ports of the MZM. Our method is independent of bias voltages of the MZM, which can be canceled out by carefully choosing the sinusoidal-modulation frequencies. Moreover, the proposed method enables the low swing voltage for measuring both the modulation depth and half-wave voltage of MZMs. Experiments indicate that the proposed method features the simple setup and high accuracy for low-frequency response measurement ranging from 1 Hz to 1 MHz.

在分析布里渊散射分布式光纤传感器检测原理的基础上,针对布里渊散射光信号比较微弱且和瑞利散射光之间存在频移的特点,采用微波电光调制产生频率可调的参考光,和后向布里渊散射光进行相干检测,得到放大的布里渊散射光信号,再用高速模拟数字转换和存储叠加进行时序信号处理,最后得到分布式传感信号。给出了各部分实验过程和结果,得出与理论分析一致的布里渊散射光频谱和光强随温度升高而产生变化。实现了25 km的分布式温度传感,初步实验结果证明了方案的可行性。
