基于回音壁模式准柱形腔的小型动态可调谐光学群延迟线原理与实验研究

Optical delay lines have attracted great interest in applied fields such as microwave photonics (microwave phase delay in optically controlled radar) and high speed optical signal processing (data synchronization, optical buffering, mode characterization). To solve the bottlenecks in the field of optical delay line such as “bandwidth-delay limitation”, dispersion, and tunability, we develop a miniature dynamic tunable optical group delay line system using the unique characteristics in mode field distributions and stable coupling feature of quasi-cylindrical resonator. The system employs the resonator-taper coupling system as a key element and combines some tunable methods, i.e., piezo-electric effect, nonlinear optical Kerr effect, and thermal-optic effect, to realize a zero-dispersion, large delay, low loss, minimal effective speed of light, and dynamic tunable miniature group delay line system. . This project constructs the mode field distributions and the delay features of a quasi-cylindrical resonator based on wave optics and quantum mechanics. Also, we propose to construct a group delay line system involving its fabrication, detection, tuning, and dynamic switching, studies the effect of tenability on group delay, and achieves a tunable and dynamic optical group delay lines. Finally, we establish a theoretical system and experimental methodology based on the theoretical model, system construction, fabrication, dynamic control, and delay measurement of optical group delay lines in a quasi-cylindrical resonator.
