Abstract
A photonic ultra-wideband (UWB) quadruplet signal generation based on a dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is presented. A Gaussian sequence is split into four parts and input to the four driving ports of the DP-QPSK. Through polarization rotation and polarization combination, a pair of polarization-orthogonal, polarity-reversed doublet signals are generated from the output of the DP-QPSK modulator. Subsequently, they are injected into a balanced photodetector (BPD) for further differentiation. After the heterodyne detection, a UWB quadruplet signal can be obtained. In this system, four electrical amplifiers are incorporated into the four electrical driving paths to adjust the modulation indices of the DP-QPSK. To attain the optimal spectral power efficiency (SPE), a relationship among the SPE, pulse width, delay time, and the two main modulation indices is created. Consequently, the optimal point is found with an SPE of 53.46%. Then, several impairments brought by the nonideal devices are considered in the simulation system. The distortion caused by impairments is compensated by properly adjusting the devices. The generated spectrum has a SPE of 53.38% and efficiently complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mask without any low-frequency components exceeding the FCC mask. In addition, on-off keying and pulse position modulation are realized in the system.
