Debugging Method And Device For Operating Point Voltage Of Parallel MZI Electro-Opticalmodulator

摘要

A debugging method and device for an operating point voltage of a parallel MZI electro-optical modulator. The parallel MZI electro-optical modulator comprises a Parent MZI (2) formed by a parallel connection of a Child MZI (3) in an I path and a Child MZI (4) in a Q path. The debugging method comprises: fixing a bias voltage of one Child MZI of the Child MZI (3) in the I path and the Child MZI (4) in the Q path; gradually adjusting a bias voltage of the other Child MZI, testing a parent extinction ratio Per of the Parent MZI (2) when different bias voltages are applied, and finding a corresponding bias voltage as an operating point voltage of the other Child MZI when the Per of the Parent MZI (2) reaches a minimum value, and then finding a corresponding bias voltage as an operating point voltage of the one Child MZI when the Per of the Parent MZI (2) reaches a minimum value; setting the bias voltages of the two Child MZIs as operating point voltages corresponding to the two Child MZIs respectively, adjusting a phase modulation voltage of the Parent MZI (2) until an output effect of the parallel MZI electro-optical modulator reaches the best, and determining the phase modulation voltage of the Parent MZI (2). The method and device are simple; and the debugging process thereof is fast and efficient.
