In recent years, the thriving satellite laser communication industry has been severely hindered by the limitations of incompatible modulation formats and restricted Size Weight and Power (SWaP). A multi-modulation compatible method serving for free-space optical (FSO) communication has been proposed assisted by chirp-managed laser (CML). The corresponding demonstration system has been established for realizing free-switching between intensity (OOK) and phase modulation (RZ-DPSK). The feasibility and performance of system have been evaluated sufficiently when loading with 2.5 and 5 Gbps data streams, respectively. Additionally, a control-group system has been operated utilizing Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) for comparison between CML-based and MZM-based compatibility solutions. The OOK receiving sensitivities of CML-based system are −47.02 dBm@2.5 Gbps and −46.12 dBm@5 Gbps at BER of 1×10−3 which are 0.62 dB and 1.11 dB higher than that of MZM; the receiving sensitivities of RZ-DPSK are −50.12 dBm@2.5 Gbps and −47.03 dBm@5 Gbps which are 0.79 dB and 0.47 dB higher than that of MZM respectively. Meanwhile, CML-based transmitter abandoned the traditional modulator and its complicated supporting devices which can effectively contribute to the reduction of SWaP. The CML-based system has been proven to have the compatibility between intensity and phase modulation while also possesses a miniaturized design. It may provide fresh thinking to achieve a practical miniaturization system for satisfying the requirements of space optical network in future. |
