Phase-predictable tuning of single-frequency optical synthesizers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the tuning behavior of a novel type of single-frequency optical synthesizers by phase comparison of the output signals of two identical devices. We achieve phase-stable and cycle-slip free frequency tuning over 28.1 GHz with a maximum zero-to-peak phase deviation of 62 mrad. In contrast to previous implementations of single-frequency optical synthesizers, no comb line order switching is needed when tuned over more than one comb line spacing range of the employed frequency comb.

A-New-Closed-form-Mathematical-Approach-to-Achieve Minimum Phase Noise in Frequency Synthesizers
The aim of this paper is to minimize output phase noise for the pure signal synthesis in the frequency synthesizers. For this purpose, first, an exact mathematical model of phase locked loop (PLL) based frequency synthesizer is described and analyzed. Then, an exact closed-form formula in terms of synthesizer bandwidth and total output phase noise is extracted. Based on this formula, the phase ...
متن کاملThe Basic Principle of Frequency Synthesis
AS a result of the steadily increasing congestion in communication bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, efforts are being made to utilize new ranges, particularly microwave and optical frequencies, and to better exploit existing frequency allocations. The latter tasks have led to improvements in communication techniques (SSB modulation, multiplexing, digital systems, spread spectrum applicati...
متن کاملLow Instability, Low Phase-noise Femtosecond Optical Frequency Comb Microwave Synthesizer
The ability of a frequency comb from a femtosecond mode-locked laser to faithfully reproduce the properties of optical oscillators at microwave frequencies is examined. The fractional frequency instability of the femtosecond comb microwave synthesizer is 2 x 10/τ, and could improve by at least a factor of 10 upon elimination of excess photodetection noise. Phase-noise levels are also examined. ...
متن کاملFractional-N synthesis improves reference- frequency implementations
The availability of new ranges of fractional-N synthesizers with system spurious levels approaching those of integer-N PLLs offers an alternative for crystal and oscillator options (Table 1). Many fractional-N PLLs support resolution on the order of hundreds of hertz. (Integer-N technology supports the typical minimum of 25 kHz.) This programmable accuracy coupled with improving temperature-sen...
متن کاملContinuously tunable, precise, single frequency optical signal generator.
To realize a genuine CW optical frequency synthesizer, a continuously tunable single-frequency CWlaser has been employed to track precisely any arbitrary component of a wide bandwidth phase-stabilized optical comb. We demonstrate experimentally two fundamental aspects of optical frequency synthesis, namely, precise setting of the laser frequency at an arbitrary pre-determined value, and continu...
