Optical Phase-Locked Loop For Optical Communication
Abstract
Experimental apparatus includes two diode-pumped solid-state lasers of non-planar-ring-oscillator type, one represents the transmitting oscillator, other local oscillator in receiver. Output of transmitting oscillator is amplitude-modulated with pulse-position-modulated data stream. Phase-error variance of less than 0.05 mrad(Sup 2) achieved with relatively-narrow-band loop. Applications include free-space and fiber-optic communications, navigation, and scientific instrumentation in which receivers are required to track phases of transmitted signals.
