Phase-locking-free all-optical matching system for 100 Gbaud QPSK optical signal.

Photonic firewall is a monitoring protection device that will directly detect and locate optical network attacks at the optical layer, which can effectively ensure the security of optical networks. An all-optical matching system is the core part of photonic firewall, which determines the performance of a photonic firewall, so it is of great significance to research and develop all-optical matching system for high-speed and high-order modulation formats signals. At present, an all-optical matching system for binary modulation formats is relatively mature, but the all-optical matching system for high-order phase modulation format signals is still limited by how to solve the problem of phase synchronization.
