Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical signal processing device. electrical and in particular a device applicable as a transverse filter or correlator of microwave signals.
  • the invention relates to a set of devices to optical fiber for processing very wideband microwave signals and in particular performing the functions of matched filter and correlator. These devices exploit the chromatic dispersion properties of optical fibers but also the possibility of permanently inducing networks of Bragg.
  • a transverse filter achieves the summation of samples of a signal, taken at different times, with a law weighting characteristic of the signal to be filtered.
  • a filter we seek to determine, for example, the date of appearance of a signal p (t), known a priori.
  • Such filter if it maximizes the signal to noise ratio at time T, is said to be suitable.
  • the weighting method described for example in the document J. MAX “Methods and techniques of signal processing and applications to physical measurements", Masson, 1987 is an exemplary embodiment of such a filter.
  • the signal x (t) feeds a delay line consisting of N elements, each providing a delay T.
  • N + 1 points of the signal p (t) p (0), p ( ⁇ ), ... p (N ⁇ ).
  • the invention relates to a device for obtaining a large number of samples on very high frequency signals, typically n ⁇ 1024 from 0 to 20 GHz.
  • C (t o ) 1 b ⁇ T R (t - t o ) S (t) dt or R (tt 0 ) is a suitably delayed reference signal S (t) is the signal to correlate T is the integration time b is the noise power density per Hz.
  • This calculation is to determine the value of t 0 which ensures the maximum of the correlation function C (t 0 ). It is thus necessary to have a large number of samples of the reference signal delayed by different values of t 0 in order to ensure with precision the determination of t 0 which maximizes C (t 0 ).
  • Such a function can be performed in electronics but it is limited to signals whose frequency and bandwidth do not exceed a few 100 MHz. This limitation is due to the samples being too slow and the memory capacities too low.
  • Fiber optic devices performing correlation two optically transported signals have already been proposed (see par example French Patent Applications n ° 87 10120 and n ° 91 112040).
  • document GB 2 189 028 describes a filter comprising in series a multiwavelength optical source, a modulator electrooptics of the multiwavelength beam, a dispersive fiber, an angularly dispersive network and a mechanical filter filtering the result optical processing.
  • This device includes in series a laser L, an electrooptical modulator MOD, an optical fiber F, a dispersive network H or dispersive device for wavelengths, a SLM spatial light modulator, a lens (LE), a PD photodetector.
  • the laser L provides a beam B1 multi-wavelength ⁇ 1 , ... ⁇ N. It is for example, a solid state laser pumped diode delivering a continuous broadband spectrum or a large set of longitudinal modes. This beam is coupled in the MOD modulator.
  • each wavelength ⁇ 1 to ⁇ N can be considered as a carrier independent of the signal x (t).
  • the B2 beam from the MOD modulator is coupled in the optical fiber monomode F, used in a spectral range where it is dispersive, that is to say where the refractive index n of the fiber depends on the wavelength.
  • B3 beam from the optical fiber F has the different wavelengths delivered by source L all modulated by the MOD modulator, but these different lengths waves experience different delays when crossing the fiber due to the different refractive index n for each wavelength.
  • the beam B3 then meets the dispersive network H, operating by example in transmission.
  • the latter spatially separates the different wavelength components of the optical carrier.
  • Each component then passes through an element of the spatial light modulator SLM.
  • the transmission of each modulator element is variable depending on the voltage applied to it and thus allows to apply to each component the desired weighting.
  • An LE optical system then performs the summation of all the components, on a single photodetector PD.
  • the photodiode PD delivers a photocurrent proportional to the sum:
  • the first term Y 0 is a constant bias while the second Y 1 (t 0 ) is the result of the adapted filtering of x (t).
  • Such a length of fiber at these wavelengths, introduces losses optical transmission of the order of 8dB (2dB / km).
  • the optical fiber is no longer used as a medium dispersive. On the contrary, it is used at a wavelength for which the dispersion is minimal.
  • Bragg gratings tuned to wavelengths ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 ... ⁇ N , working in reflection are photoinduced in the fiber. Bragg's agreement at different wavelengths is obtained by varying the period of the photoinduced grating.
  • the registration method is analogous to that described for example in the document G. Meltz, WW Morey, WH Glenn "Formation of Bragg gratings in optical fibers by a transverse holographic method" Opt. Lett., 14, 823 (1989) and uses a UV laser, ensuring the permanence of the networks.
  • the laser source L emits an extended spectrum ⁇ , containing wavelengths ⁇ 1 ... ⁇ N.
  • the beam B1 which results therefrom is linearly polarized. It is then coupled in the MOD modulator identical to that previously described, excited by the hyper x (t) signal to be filtered.
  • This multifrequency optical carrier is then coupled in the network fiber, where each component will undergo reflection at a different abscissa. This fiber is polarization maintaining in order to be able to easily separate the incident and reflected beams.
  • FIG. 8 represents another alternative embodiment in which, when the divergence of the multifrequency beam B4 is too great compared to at the pixel size of the SLM modulator or when you want a very compact, it is advantageous to use the symmetrical system of the figure 8.
  • L c and L ' c are symmetrical lenses, for example with the same focal length.
  • H and H ' are similar networks. All the wavelengths are thus recombined in a single direction before being summed by means of the output lens.
  • the SLM pixels have the dimensions of the light lines formed by L c .
  • the spherical output lens and the detector single of FIG. 8 are replaced respectively by a cylindrical lens, parallel to Lc, and by an array of photodiodes.
  • SLM becomes a two-dimensional spatial light modulator (Nxp pixels). Each line of SLM has q independently addressable pixels. Each pixel is associated with a element of the photodiodes array. The system thus allows in parallel perform the filtering adapted to q different signals that may be contained in the signal x (t).
  • the device of the invention is also applicable to a correlator of electrical signals (microwave in particular).
  • the device for CCD optical detection can include as many elementary detectors as there are of image elements and that these detectors are coupled to a device for transferring charges.
  • the role of this device is to correlate two electrical signals S (t) and R (t).
  • the first MOD1 electrooptical modulator uses the signal S (t) to modulate the beam B1.
  • the second MOD2 electrooptical modulator uses the signal R (t) to modulate the beam B3 coming from the fiber F.
  • the beam B3 is, as we have seen previously, made up of a plurality of elementary beams of different optical wavelengths and having suffered different delays in the optical fiber F.
  • the MOD2 modulator applies therefore a modulation to each of these elementary beams. So that comes down to this that each of these elementary beams has an amplitude proportional to the produces modulations S (t) and R (t), carried out at different times for each of these elementary beams.
  • the dispersive network H spatially distributes the components of the beam B'3 each corresponding to a wavelength (or a narrow range of wavelengths).
  • the different elementary beams of the beam B4 are modulated by the SLM spatial light modulator and then transmitted to CCD photodetectors.
  • the role of the SLM modulator is to correct the dispersions of source L as well as the transmission system (fibers in particular).
  • the SLM modulator may not exist and this correction can be made at the level of detection on the CCD detector or at the level processing the signal detected by the CCD.
  • This device provides the same advantages as devices 2 and 4 and allows optically inconsistent detection on each CCD element.
  • FIG. 6 represents an alternative embodiment of the correlator of the invention.
  • the laser L emitting on a broad spectrum ⁇ , is coupled to two modulators MOD1 and MOD2 such as those described above ( ⁇ F ⁇ 20 GHz). They are respectively excited by the signals S (t) and R (t).
  • the beams from these modulators are linearly polarized and pass through polarization splitters or cube polarization splitters PBS 1 and PBS 2 . They are then coupled into two optical fibers F1, F2 with polarization maintenance of the same length 1 where networks have been photoinduced identical to those previously described.
  • the networks are arranged so as to reflect successively ⁇ 1 then ⁇ 2 , ... ⁇ N. The order is reversed in fiber F2.
  • the different components of the optical carriers S (t) and R (t) pass through the ⁇ / 4 plates and are perfectly reflected by PBS 1 and PBS 2 .
  • the beam reflected by the fiber F1 undergoes a polarization rotation of 90 ° and passes through PBS 2 .
  • the carriers of the signals R (t) and S (t) are superimposed at the end of PBS 2 and their polarizations are crossed.
  • This doubled beam then passes through a dispersive network H where the different wavelengths are spatially dispersed.
  • Each of them passes through a first spatial light modulator SLM 1 .
  • the latter is, for example, a liquid crystal cell operating in electrically controlled birefringence.
  • the polarization coincides for example with the optical axis of the liquid crystal molecules.
  • the refractive index seen by this polarization varies, depending on the voltage applied to the pixel, between n 0 and n e (ordinary and extraordinary indices of the liquid crystal).
  • the polarization sees a constant refractive index n0.
  • SLM 1 therefore makes it possible to control the relative phase shift ⁇ of the carriers of S (t) and R (t).
  • a polarizer P oriented at 45 ° from the othogonal polarization directions allows the recombination of these two polarizations.
  • a second SLM 2 spatial modulator attached to the first and having the same number of pixels, makes it possible to control the weights ⁇ k assigned to each wavelength component channel.
  • an optical system makes it possible to focus each channel on one of the elements of a multiple PDA photodetector, for example of the CCD type.
  • each pixel of the CCD delivers a signal proportional to the correlation product S (t) * R (t).
  • the photocurrent delivered by the photodetector l is proportional to:
  • the total bandwidth of the system is ⁇ F.
  • Number of correlation signal samples or channels is N.
  • a CCD pixel for an integration time of 1 ms allows the detection of 1 pW, i.e. a detectivity of the order of 3.10 -2 pW / Hz 1/2
  • T the NEP ( noise equivalent power) which corresponds to the smallest detectable power, therefore becomes:
  • CIP 3.10 -14 ⁇ 1/2
  • Figure 7 shows an alternative embodiment of Figure 6.
  • the fiber F1 has a chromatic dispersion over a range of optical wavelength ⁇ .
  • the F2 fiber is almost free of dispersion.
  • the PBS1 device located at the output of the fiber F1 is in fact a device reflection.
  • the PBS2 device located at the output of the F2 fiber makes it possible to combine the bundles from fibers F1 and F2.
  • the SP device located at the inputs of the fibers F1, F2 is a polarization splitter.
  • the beams transmitted to the fibers F1, F2 could also be of same direction of polarization and the SP device could be a separator of light.
  • the superimposed bundles from fibers F1, F2 are transmitted by the dispersive network H and the spatial light modulators SLM1 and SLM2 to the CCD optical detection device.
  • the product on each CCD detector thus has: that is to say
  • the single laser source L is replaced after a set of p sources each emitting a spectrum ⁇ / p.
  • a px1 coupler to combine the p sources into a single pigtail connected to the modulator mod.
  • N 1024 use 64 semiconductor lasers of a few mW, each emitting 16 modes longitudinal 0.1 nm apart.
