    摘要:

    超短光脉冲源可以提高数据传输速率和非线性作用效率,在光通信、超快光谱学和光学计算等领域具有重要意义。相比于微环谐振器激发光频梳或锁模激光器产生光脉冲的方法,由级联电光调制器和色散补偿单元组成的时间透镜系统具有明显优势,兼具出色的系统相干性以及片上集成的兼容性。文章提出了一种基于慢波电极薄膜铌酸锂的级联电光调制器时间透镜系统,用于产生超短光脉冲。所设计的马赫-曾德尔强度调制器在无需移除或替换衬底的情况下,实现了2.46 V.cm的调制效率和超过100 GHz的调制带宽。通过级联强度调制器、相位调制器和单模光纤完成了不同频率下的时间透镜系统仿真。在10 GHz、30 GHz和45 GHz频率下,系统可分别产生21、17和17条平坦度小于3 dB的梳齿,经由单模光纤压缩后的光脉冲宽度分别为3.45、1.5和1 ps。仿真结果验证了该时间透镜系统作为超短光脉冲源的有效性。

    Abstract:

    Ultrashort optical pulse sources can enhance data transmission rates and nonlinear interaction efficiency, holding significant importance in fields such as optical communications, ultrafast spectroscopy, and optical computing. Compared with methods using microresonator optical frequency combs or mode-locked lasers for optical pulse generation, temporal lens systems composed of cascaded electro-optic modulators and dispersion compensation units exhibit distinct advantages, including excellent system coherence and compatibility with on-chip integration. This paper proposes a temporal lens system based on a cascaded electro-optic modulator with thin-film lithium niobate slow-wave electrodes for generating ultrashort optical pulses. The designed Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator achieves a modulation efficiency of 2.46 V.cm and a modulation bandwidth exceeding 100 GHz without substrate removal or replacement. On this basis, simulations of the temporal lens system driven by microwave signals at different frequencies were conducted. The results show that the system generates 21, 17, and 17 comb lines with flatness less than 3 dB at 10 GHz, 30 GHz, and 45 GHz, respectively. After compression by a single-mode fiber, the generated optical pulses exhibit widths of 3.45 ps, 1.5 ps, and 1 ps, verifying the effectiveness of this temporal lens system as an ultrafast optical pulse source.
