Abstract: The present invention provides a repetition frequency-tunable optical frequency comb generated by basis of optical feedback. The optical frequency comb comprises a single-frequency laser resonant cavity, a wavelength division multiplexer, a single-mode semiconductor pump light source, an optical circulator, a first optical fiber coupler, a second optical fiber coupler, a photoelectric detector, a highly-stable signal source, an error signal processing system, a laser frequency modulation device and a tunable laser-delay module. The present invention performs delay-time processing to the single-frequency laser by the tunable laser-delay module, and achieves an optical feedback by the optical circulator for injecting to the resonant cavity, generating a series of tunable laser longitudinal modes with equal frequency space. Meanwhile, in combination with the highly-stable signal source, the error signal processing system and the laser frequency modulation device, a laser frequency lock is achieved, and the laser frequency comb is generated. The invention obtains a repetition frequency-tunable laser frequency comb with a simple and practical method, having an extensive application prospect and huge application value in fields such as optical fiber sensing and spectroscopy of atom and molecule.

Abstract: A tunable narrow-linewidth photo-generated microwave source based on polarization control includes a high-reflectivity fiber grating, a high-gain fiber, a low-reflectivity polarization-maintaining fiber grating, a stress adjusting device, a single-mode semiconductor pump laser, an optical wavelength division multiplexer, a polarization beam splitter, a polarization controller, an optical coupler, and a photoelectric detector. Birefringence distribution in the low-reflectivity polarization-maintaining fiber grating is controlled by adjusting a stress magnitude of the stress adjusting device to the low-reflectivity polarization fiber grating, thereby controlling a laser frequency working in different polarization modes in a resonant cavity, and a tunable narrow-linewidth photo-generated microwave source is generated by a beat-frequency technology using a dual-wavelength narrow-linewidth laser with variable frequency intervals.
