Abstract
Provided is a working point controlling device and method for applying MZ modulator, which includes: a light modulator; a transimpedance amplifier, transmits current outputted by PD of the modulator into voltage signal; a low-noise amplifier, detects low-frequency signal and amplifies the signal, in order to improve the signal/noise ratio; a high Q band-pass filter, detects error signal and amplifies the signal, in order to improve the signal/noise ratio; a first power level conditioning, performs power level condition on error signal of phase, in order that signal output meets A/D input rang; a micro processor, generates low-frequency signal and finishes software synchronization detection wave and ratio integration PI adjusting algorithm; a second power level conditioning, finishes D/A output voltage condition, in order that D/A output is able to meet direct current offset whole controlling range power voltage range of the light modulator. Applying present invention, the problems, that the hardware controlling circuit of current MZ modulator offset point is complex and controlling accuracy is not high, can be resolved.
