Abstract
Generator for wholly optical tunable broadband linearly chirped signal comprising a mode-locked laser, a first optical coupler, a first optical filter, a first dispersion module, a second optical filter, a second dispersion module, a tunable time delay module, a second optical coupler, an optical amplifier, and a photodetector. The generator of the present invention employs just one mode-locked laser as a light source, thus preventing instability of the generated signal resulting from independent unrelated lasers. By making use of the principle of wavelength-time mapping and by means of adjusting the center wavelength and the filter bandwidth of the first optical filter and the second optical filter, easy and flexible tuning of the center frequency and sweep bandwidth of the generated linearly chirped signal is realized. The present invention possesses a big advantage on the aspect of generating a broadband linearly chirped signal over other solutions.
