Research on Coherent Light detection Method Based on Phase Control of Fiber Delay Line

Abstract

With the system modeling and simulation, analyzed the mechanisms of signal transmission and storage, and phase-controlling, and researched the relationship between time-delay and phase-delay. The effect of optical path difference on optical phase-matching is investigated in time domain and frequency domain. The results shows that, the signal power will obtain maximum after coherent mixing when the phase between signal light and reference light is 2nπ(n=0, 1, 2……); the signal power will obtain minimum when it is (2n+1)π(n=0, 1, 2……), and the mixing signal of other phase relationship will vary in this range. And it is proved that the time delay of optical fiber delay line could effectively compensate the phase delay which generated in the transmission and a phase controlling of the signal transmission could be achieved.
