Abstract
A photonics-based method of instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) based on Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is proposed and theoretically analyzed. The principle of the technique is the employment of the Brillouin gain-loss compensation and monotonous frequency-to-phase-slope mapping (FTPSM) method, where the FTPSM is realized utilizing the correlation between Brillouin phase shift and unknown signal frequency. With the new technique, the frequency of a signal and multiple unknown RF signal can be measured and due to bypass a fundamental trade-off between measurement range and accuracy through our method, resulting in the measurement range of the system is extended from 2VB to 4VB with a higher accuracy ~4 MHz. In addition, the influences of the pump light wavelength variation and power change on the performance of the IFM system are discussed.
