    Aiming at the problems of high cost and complex structure of optical fiber sensing systems using traditional self organizing fiber lasers, a optical fiber Michelson interferometer(FMI) sensing demodulation system based on the strong feedback of a commercial laser is proposed. The system adopts a commercial Fabry-Perot cavity semiconductor laser diode(FP-LD) as the light source, directly driven by direct-current power supply, and form strong feedback on the FMI after reflection and interference. Multi-longitudinal mode laser beat frequency demodulation technology is used to realize the sensing demodulation of FMI. The change of FMI optical domain interference light intensity is directly converted into the change of electric domain beat frequency envelope. The change process of beat frequency signal with temperature and the sensitivity of sensing system with different FMI arm length difference are studied. The experimental results show that when the arm length difference is 0.45 m and 0.40 m, the sensitivity is 325 kHz/℃ and 358.33 kHz/℃ respectively.

    In the layered asymmetric clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LACO-OFDM), the use of discrete Hartley transform(DHT) can makes up for the low spectral efficiency of fast Fourier transform (FFT), but there is still a problem of high computational complexity in the separation of multi-layer signals at the receiving end. Combined with the time-domain symmetry and anti-symmetry characteristics of the DHT-LACO-OFDM signal, a layered signal receiving method based on time domain reconstruction is proposed, in which the superimposed signal is received layered in the time domain. The results of the study show that, compared with the traditional iterative receiving method combining time-frequency domain, the layered signal receiving method based on time-domain reconstruction has almost the same bit error performance as the traditional iterative receiving method, but the computational complexity is reduced by half.

    The development of high-power, high-energy, high-efficiency terahertz radiation sources that can operate stably at room temperature is a practical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of terahertz technology. Based on the transient photocurrent model, this paper studied the physical process of three-color laser pulse-induced terahertz waves in liquid media by numerical simulations, and analyzed the effects of phase difference, intensity ratio, wavelength, and pulse width on the terahertz radiation. The simulation results show that the phase differences, the intensity ratios, the wavelength and the pulse width have obvious effects on the terahertz electric field. At the same time, only the tunnel ionization mechanism in which the ionization rate changes with the oscillation of the laser electric field can generate transient photocurrents, thereby obtaining terahertz radiation.

    In order to explore the mechanism of IQ imbalance, combining polarization multiplexing(PDM), hexadecimal orthogonal amplitude modulation(QAM), phase conjugate twin waves(PCTW), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM), wave division multiplexing(WDM) and other technologies, this paper uses OptiSystem software to build PCTW-OFDM-WDM system. The mechanism of IQ imbalance caused by probabilistic shaping, crosstalk and statistical correlation noise is analyzed. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that IQ imbalance is caused by many factors, and only a large IQ imbalance will have a significant impact on the system performance. Geometric shaping scheme has limited effect on IQ imbalance and performance improvement. In the time slot and subcarrier PCTW mode, appropriately changing the location of the distribution of the conjugate components can effectively improve the IQ imbalance and obtain better transmission performance than adjacent structures.
