本文提出并验证了一种基于直调激光器与全光锁模产生微波频率梳的方案。理论分析表明，通过调节光纤环形腔的参数，可对直调激光器不同动力学态下的模式实现谐波锁模或有理数谐波锁模，从而获得梳间距可调节的频率梳。在此基础上进行实验验证，直调激光器在不同频率与幅度的正弦信号的调制下，可以激发出多种典型动力学态，这些动力学态可在环形激光器腔内实现全光锁模，产生频率梳。在平坦度为±5dB的标准下，不同动力学态作为种子信号，可获得带宽为13GHz、15GHz、19.8GHz、19.5GHz和22GHz的频率梳；通过直调激光器与全光锁模的有效结合，梳间距的连续可调谐范围可达200MHz– 3GHz；生成的所有微波频率梳一阶梳线的单边带相位噪声测量值均低于-100dBc/Hz@10kHz。理论分析和实验结果表明，该方案调制信号的参数调节灵活，且所生成的微波频率梳在平坦性、带宽及调谐性方面均表现出显著优势。In this paper, a novel scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It is based on a directly modulated laser (DML) and all-optical mode-locking for generating tunable microwave frequency combs (MFCs). Theoretical analysis reveals that harmonic or rational harmonic mode-locking can be achieved by adjusting the parameters of the fiber ring cavity, which enables the generation of MFCs with adjustable comb spacing. Based on this, experimental verification shows that the DML can be driven to exhibit various typical dynamical states under sinusoidal modulation with different frequencies and amplitudes. These states serve as seeding signals that subsequently undergo all-optical mode-locking within the ring laser cavity, resulting in the generation of MFCs. The bandwidths of the MFCs are 13, 15, 19.5, 19.8, and 22 GHz, respectively, all of which satisfy the ± 5 dB flatness criterion. A continuously tunable comb-spacing range of 200 MHz to 3 GHz is attained through the effective combination of the DML and all-optical mode-locking. The single-sideband (SSB) phase noise of the first comb line remains below −100 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the modulated signals of the proposed scheme support flexible parameter tuning over a wide range. Furthermore, the generated MFCs have remarkable advantages in flatness, bandwidth, and tunability.
