The application of optical heterodyning to generate microwave signal has been considered to describe the utility of the algorithm in system level simulations. Optical heterodyning experiment has been conducted to validate the simulation results obtained by using the algorithm. Practical results have been found to agree closely with the simulated results. Keywords: Laser lineshape, Laser linewidth, Laser phase noise, Microwave generation, Optical Heterodyning I. INTRODUCTION Generation of microwave signals using optical techniques has been an active area of research. When two optical signals are heterodyned by passing them through a photo-detector, which is a square-law device, the resulting signal contains a term that corresponds to the frequency difference between the two optical sources. By choosing the optical frequencies such that their difference lies in the microwave region, a microwave signal can be generated by optical heterodyning. Spectral width and phase noise profile of the microwave signal are determined by the characteristics of the optical signals. Laser output is not strictly monochromatic and hence cannot be modeled as a line spectrum. Development of a numerical model for laser output based on a priori knowledge of its spectral characteristics can prove to be very useful to study the effects of linewidth broadening in laser applications. A generic method to numerically model laser linewidth, based on phase noise profile defined at discrete frequency offsets, is presented in this paper. This model is applied to study the 26

2 effect of laser linewidth on the microwave signal generated by optical heterodyning. Optical heterodyning experiment has been carried out and the results obtained have been shown to agree closely with the simulation results generated using the proposed model. II. EFFECT OF PHASE NOISE ON LASER LINEWIDTH In the presence of phase noise, the output of a laser can be expressed as: A(t) = E cos[2πf c t+φ n (t)] (1) = E {cos[2πf c t]cos[φ n (t)] sin[2πf c t]sin[φ n (t)]} (2) A(t) E {cos[2πf c t] sin[2πf c t][φ n(t)]} when φ n (t) is small (3) The above expression shows that phase noise φ n (t) mixes with the laser frequency f c and produces side bands around it. As a result, the spectrum of a laser exhibits finite non-zero linewidth. III. ALGORITHM TO NUMERICALLY MODEL LASER LINEWIDTH BROADENING DUE TO PHASE NOISE Optical line shape and associated linewidth of a laser or its power spectral density of frequency noise can be used to describe the spectral properties of a laser. The relationship between frequency noise spectral density and laser linewidth has been reported in many papers. Theoretical formulas linking the frequency noise spectral density to the laser line shape have been given by Elliott and co-workers [1]. It was proposed that line shape obtained in the case of a rectangular noise spectrum of finite bandwidth is Gaussian when the ratio of the frequency deviation to the noise bandwidth is large and Lorentzian when small. The ideal case of a pure white frequency noise spectrum has been extensively studied [2], as it can be fully solved analytically leading to the wellknown Lorentzian line shape described by the Schawlow Townes Henry linewidth [3,4]. However, as the real noise spectrum of a laser is much more complicated it leads to a non-analytical line shape that can be determined only numerically. Flicker noise, which generally affects lasers at low frequency, has been widely studied in the literature [5-8]. Flicker noise produces spectral broadening of the laser linewidth compared to the Schawlow Townes Henry limit. It can be seen that the studies carried out so far aimed at creating a model for laser line shape based on certain approximations or assumptions. For a given application, if a priori knowledge of phase noise profile of the laser under consideration is available or if the laser can be characterized for phase noise and these values be used for obtaining laser line shape then it would result in a more accurate model. Development of such a model for laser output can prove to be very useful to study the effects of linewidth broadening in laser applications. A generic method to numerically model laser linewidth, based on phase noise profile defined at discrete frequency offsets, is proposed. Phase noise values at discrete offsets from the laser frequency form the inputs for the algorithm. An N-point array of discrete time domain points representing the laser output, whose FFT satisfies the given phase noise profile, forms the output. A plot of phase noise values versus frequency offsets from laser frequency, considered for demonstration, is shown in Fig. 1. The first task is to obtain envelop of SSB phase noise spectrum, beginning at zero offset from carrier frequency and ending at Nyquist frequency (F s /2) of the discrete-time system, based on the input phase noise data. Sampling frequency (F s ) must be chosen such that it is greater than twice the maximum offset at which phase noise value is available in order to avoid aliasing. Available phase noise data is interpolated on to M equally spaced points in the interval [0 Fs/2] including bounds as shown in Fig. 2. This results in partitions of size, say, f. Since the phase noise values are specified 27

3 in units of dbc/hz, multiplication of interpolated values with f gives the integrated phase noise power over the frequency band f. Since amplitude varies as square root of power, the distribution of phase noise amplitude over the interval [0 F s /2] can be readily derived. This is stored as an M-point vector N ph [n], where n varies from 1 to M. This vector represents the distribution of SSB phase noise amplitudes that satisfies the given phase noise profile. A complex vector N AWGN [n] of length M, representing random fluctuations in magnitude and phase of a sampled AWGN signal in frequency domain, is now created as shown in Fig. 3. This can be done by utilizing standard built-in MATLAB function. This noise, which by definition is distributed uniformly over the interval [0 F s /2], is tailored into the desired phase noise profile by performing an element-to-element multiplication of N AWGN [n] and N ph [n]. SSB phase noise spectrum over the interval [0 Fs/2], obtained by this process is shown in Fig. 4. Negative spectrum over the interval (Fs/2 Fs), bounds not included, is derived from positive SSB spectrum based on symmetry. DSB spectrum of phase noise about the carrier frequency is thus obtained as a vector of 2M-2 elements. Inverse FFT yields complex phase noise signal in time domain. This array when multiplied element-to-element with 2M-2 samples of an ideal complex sinusoidal carrier signal, shown in Fig. 5, yields noisy carrier satisfying the given phase noise profile as shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 7 shows the spectrum of the noisy carrier signal when viewed over a narrow frequency span. Fig. 1. Phase noise data fed as input to the algorithm 28

SIMULATION OF OPTICAL HETERODYNING USING THE PROPOSED MODEL To demonstrate the utility of the algorithm, the application of optical heterodyning for generation of microwave signal is considered. Using the model based on the proposed algorithm, the effect of laser linewidth on the microwave signal generated by optical heterodyning is simulated. Fig. 8 shows the spectrum of the signal obtained by combining two laser signals that are to be heterodyned. When this signal is heterodyned in a photodetector, spectrum of the resulting signal at 31

7 difference frequency is as shown in Fig. 9. When the linewidth of one of the lasers is increased to simulate poor phase noise and coherency, the spectrum of the resulting microwave signal would be as shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 8.

OPTICAL HETERODYNING EXPERIMENT TO VERIFY THE PROPOSED MODEL: Optical heterodyning experiment was conducted using Tunable Laser Sources from Agilent operating at 1550 nm. Wavelength of the laser modules is settable with a resolution of 0.1 picometer. A wideband photodetector having a bandwidth of 18 GHz was used as the heterodyning element. The photodetector current is dropped across a built-in 50 ohm load to provide the microwave output. This output was monitored using RF Spectrum Analyzer. A typical spectrum of microwave signals generated by optical heterodyning is shown in Fig. 11. The wavelength offset between the two lasers and the generated microwave signal frequency is indicated in the figure. The frequency of the microwave signal agrees with the theoretically determined frequency based on the wavelength offset. Also, the line shape and width obtained by the experiment agree closely with the simulated result shown in Fig. 9 thus validating the proposed numerical model. The coherence length of one of the lasers involved in heterodyning was reduced to increase the linewidth of the laser. The spectrum of the resulting signal is shown in Fig. 12. The spectral characteristics of this signal were found to be in agreement with the simulated result shown in Fig

10 V. CONCLUSION A generic algorithm to numerically model the phase noise induced linewidth widening of laser is proposed. The model has been used to simulate the generation of microwave signal by optical heterodyning. An optical heterodyning experiment was conducted to evaluate the simulation result. The linewidth/shape of the microwave signal obtained practically was found to be in close agreement with that of the simulated signal. The model is ideal for system level simulations using applications such as MATLAB. The model being based on the actual phase noise profile of characterized laser, will be more accurate than the approximations generally used. REFERENCES [1] D. S. Elliott, R. Roy, and S. J.
