Standing-wave ultrasonic motors (usm) have the advantages of small volume, light weight, fast response, high-precision position, power-off self-locking, no electromagnetic interference and vacuum adaptability etc. It has broad application prospects in the field of space laser communication. Because the driving force and power of single motor are limited, and in order to meet the requirement of torque margin in engineering applications, ultrasonic motors are usually used in pairs in laser tracking and pointing system. However, due to the preload of the motor, the inconsistency between production and manufacturing, and the matching between the driving circuit and the motor and so on, the resonance frequency among motors varies from hundreds of Hz to several kHz, which makes it difficult to realize synchronous control. In addition, the inherent nonlinear characteristics of piezoelectric ceramic also affect the high-precision control of the ultrasonic motor. In order to further improve the synchronous driving control performance of parallel motor, an ultrasonic motor driving control system based on high-performance Digital Signal Processor(DSP) and Direct Digital Synthesis(DDS) technique is designed in the paper. The frequency, amplitude and phase of the motor driving signal can be tuned independently and precisely in this design, and the open-loop characteristics of the ultrasonic motor are measured.
The performance of fiber nutation tracking system based on coherent demodulation is constrained by the nonlinearity of devices in the signal coherent demodulation module. With the influence of this non-linear factors, the reconstruction accuracy of intensity envelope fluctuation signal depends on the input optical power. The influence of optical amplifiers and detectors on the signal intensity calculation in the range of our interest input optical power is analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally.

Timing synchronization is critical in digital demodulation systems such as intradyne optical receivers. In this paper, a novel timing recovery method for all-digital coherent receivers is proposed. With the help of a parallel architecture, the new method can be implemented on ASIC or FPGA platform, especially when the symbol rate is much higher than the clock rate of FPGAs. Through adjusting the frame structure in the parallel interpolator, the receiver synchronizes its symbol rate with the transmitter. Different from existing parallel timing recovery methods, the proposed method does not adjust the period between adjacent frames of samples, which can be beneficial to the subsequent processing in hardware. The performance is tested by simulation in QPSK modulation. Under relative clock offset between ±50 ppm and jitter noise with 0.3% standard deviation, the proposed method shows almost no degradation compared with its serial equivalent. Combined with different timing error detection algorithms, this method can be used in kinds of modulation formats like MPSK and QAM.
By rotating the half-wave plate, the variable communication bit rate between 5.12Gbps and 2.56Gbps has been verified at satellite-to-ground optical communication linkage, the communication link used Differential Phase Shift Keying(DPSK) modulation format and the wavelength is 1549.731nm. Without error correcting code and adaptive optics, an average bit error rate of 1.9E-9 was achieved while the link distance exceeded 1500km.
Narrow-linewidth high-power fiber pulsed sources have many applications, such as laser remote sensing and
spectroscopy. In this article, an all fiber 1064nm single-frequency pulsed laser in Master Oscillator Power Amplifier
(MOPA) configuration and the corresponding experimental results are presented. The laser consists of four
Polarization-Maintaining (PM) fiber amplification stages. In the final stage, 1.8m long large mode area (LMA)
double-clad gain fiber with core diameter of 25μm and numerical aperture (NA) of 0.06 is utilized. In the system,
considering the low power of the seed laser, a continuous-wave (cw) seed laser is externally modulated by an
acousto-optic modulator (AOM). The modulated pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of the first and the second
amplification stage are chosen to be 10KHz to minimize the Amplified-Spontaneous-Emission (ASE). Then another
AOM is inserted to change the PRF from 10KHz to 100Hz, which also eliminates build-up of optical power emitted
within the same bandwidth of the ASE filter. Besides, in order to prevent the pulse steepening in the amplification stage,
the modulated pulse in the first AOM is pre-shaped and last pulsed shape with almost flat top are demonstrated. The
pulse energy is increased by more than 80% through that special pulse shaped method. In the end, pulse energy of 100μJ
with 500ns pulse duration and 100Hz repetition rate is obtained. Near diffraction limited beam quality (M2 ~ 1.1) is also
proved by coiling the fiber at a diameter of 10-cm.
