Method and system for optical spectrum analysis with matched filter detection |
摘要 |
<p>Heterodyne-based optical spectrum analysis involves filtering a heterodyne beat signal with at least one matched filter in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the spectral resolution of the heterodyne-based optical spectrum analysis. In an embodiment, an input signal (302) is combined with a swept local oscillator signal (306) in an optical coupler (310). The combined optical signal is output to a receiver (312) and a heterodyne beat signal is detected. The heterodyne beat signal is filtered by a matched filter unit (350) and the filtered heterodyne beat signal is utilized to generate an output signal that is indicative of an optical parameter of the input signal. By utilizing the quadratic phase behavior of the heterodyne beat signal in signal processing, the resolution of a heterodyne-based OSA can be substantially improved over known heterodyne-based OSAs. <IMAGE></p> |
