High-speed signal modulation voltage adaptive microring modulator wavelength locking technology
To address the issue of dynamic variations in optimal modulation voltages and resonant wavelength locking targets among microring modulator array units caused by manufacturing process variations, this paper proposes a high-speed signal modulation voltage adaptive wavelength locking technique. By analyzing the impact of high-speed modulation voltages on the microring's average optical power versus wavelength characteristics, we establish the mapping relationship between single/double-peak features and voltage levels. A feedback control system based on STM32 is designed to dynamically determine locking targets(minima for double-peak cases, pre-calibrated reference points for single-peak cases), employing a step-voltage scanning optimization algorithm for rapid convergence. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that this technique can adapt to modulation voltages ranging from 1~6 Vpp, achieving stable resonant wavelength locking across a 2 nm tuning range with 63 ms locking time and significantly improved eye diagram opening, making it suitable for large-scale array integration.
