    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Optical Communications

    Background:

    • Coherent laser communication systems require sophisticated detection schemes.
    • Existing methods often necessitate complex and high-speed analog-to-digital conversion.
    • Improving detection efficiency and reducing system complexity are key challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a new coherent laser communication detection scheme using channel switching.
    • To simplify the detection process by avoiding ultrahigh-speed analog/digital conversion.
    • To evaluate the performance and potential applications of the proposed scheme.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed scheme utilizes a 90° optical hybrid and two balanced photodetectors for in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) signal generation.
    • A simple analog circuit calculates the phase error between the signal and local lasers.
    • The phase error signal enables alternate switching of the I/Q channel signals.

    Main Results:

    • The channel-switching method successfully avoids the need for ultrahigh-speed analog/digital conversion.
    • Experimental verification demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed detection scheme.
    • The scheme's sensitivity was compared to traditional homodyne detection with an optical phase-locked loop.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed channel-switching detection scheme offers a simplified approach to coherent laser communication.
    • Its simple structure and avoidance of high-speed ADCs suggest potential for cost-effective, high-speed laser communication systems.
