Background
Optical amplifiers (OA, optical amplifier) are one of the key devices in fiber optic communication systems. The function of OA includes amplifying the gain of the optical signal so that the power at the receiving end is within the sensitivity range of the receiver. In a transmission link of an optical fiber communication system, the different optical channels are easily subjected to different attenuation/gain due to the factors such as unevenness of OA gain, wavelength dependent loss (WDL, wavelength dependent loss) in an optical cable, and energy transfer between the optical channels caused by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS, stimulated Raman scattering), so that it is difficult to keep balance between power and performance of the different optical channels at a receiving end.
Currently, a gain flattening filter (GFF, gain flatness filter) is arranged in the OA, and a test method is adopted to determine the spectrum shape of the GFF, so that the spectrum shape of the GFF is matched with the gain spectrum of the OA, and further, the requirement of gain flattening can be met.
The inventors have found in practicing embodiments of the present application that current OA generally achieves gain flattening requirements over a narrower frequency range. More and more fiber optic communication systems operate over a wide frequency range, and thus the current OA application range is narrower.

The embodiment of the application can be applied to an optical fiber communication scene. The optical fiber communication converts the transmitted information (such as call signals) into electric signals at a transmitting end, then modulates the electric signals onto a laser beam emitted by a laser, changes the intensity of the optical signals along with the amplitude (frequency) change of the electric signals, and transmits the electric signals through an optical fiber; at the receiving end, the detector receives the optical signal and converts the optical signal into an electric signal, and the electric signal is demodulated to recover the original information.
The application field of optical fiber communication is relatively wide. For example, the optical fiber scenario may be used in the areas of local trunks, long-haul trunk communications, global communications networks, national public telecommunications networks, high quality color television transmissions, industrial production site monitoring and scheduling, traffic monitoring control command, town cable television networks, shared antennas, fiber optic local area networks, and the like.
The embodiment of the application can be applied to a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM, wavelength division multiplexing) system in an optical fiber communication scene. Wavelength division multiplexing combines optical signals of a plurality of different wavelengths together at a transmitting end through a Multiplexer (also called a Multiplexer) and is coupled to the same optical fiber of an optical line for transmission. At the receiving end, the optical signals of the multiple wavelengths are separated by a Demultiplexer (also called a Demultiplexer) and then further processed by an optical receiver to recover the original signal. This technique of transmitting two optical signals of different wavelengths simultaneously in the same optical fiber is called wavelength division multiplexing.
Optical amplifiers are one of the key devices in fiber optic communication systems. In order to solve the technical problem of realizing the gain flattening requirement in a narrower frequency range in the current optical amplifier, the embodiment of the application provides an optical amplifier, which specifically comprises:
wavelength selective switches (WSS, wavelength selectable switch); and
a gain unit connected to the wavelength selective switch;
the wavelength selective switch carries out attenuation treatment on the optical signals of the transmission channel according to the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channel.
The wavelength selective switch has the characteristics of wide frequency band and low dispersion, supports independence of ports and wavelengths, and can realize attenuation of any wavelength or any wavelength combination at any port. And the attenuation parameter of the wavelength selective switch has dynamic adjustability.
According to the wavelength selective switch, according to the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels, the attenuation corresponding to the transmission channels is realized, the attenuation can be matched with the gain realized by the gain unit, and further the gain flattening requirement among different transmission channels is realized.
Because the embodiment of the application can support dynamic configuration of the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels, and different transmission channels can correspond to different wavelengths or frequencies, the embodiment of the application can realize the gain flattening requirement in a wide frequency range based on the dynamic configuration of the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels, namely the frequency range with flattened gain can be improved.
In addition, the wavelength selective switch and the gain unit are combined, so that the gain flattening requirement in a wide frequency range is realized. Since the requirements can be realized with fewer components and a simple structure, the cost of the optical amplifier can be reduced.
Example 1
The wavelength selective switch of the embodiment of the application specifically includes: at least one input port and at least one output port;
the gain unit specifically comprises at least one of the following gain units:
a first gain unit connected to at least a portion of the input ports; and
and a second gain unit connected to at least part of the output ports.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, schematic structural diagrams of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application are shown, respectively.
The optical amplifier in fig. 1 specifically includes: a first gain unit and a wavelength selective switch. The optical amplifier in fig. 2 includes in particular: a wavelength selective switch and a second gain unit. The optical amplifier in fig. 3 specifically includes: a first gain unit, a wavelength selective switch and a second gain unit.
In practical applications, the first gain unit or the second gain unit may be used to implement the gain amount. The corresponding components thereof may include: gain media, pumps, couplers, isolators, etc. Wherein the gain medium may include: erbium-doped optical fibers, ytterbium-doped optical fibers, or the like. It can be appreciated that the embodiments of the present application do not limit specific components corresponding to the first gain unit or the second gain unit.
The wavelength selection switch can be used for providing corresponding attenuation quantity according to corresponding attenuation parameters aiming at the transmission channel, and further can realize the gain flattening requirement based on the coordination of the attenuation quantity and the gain quantity.
In one embodiment of the present application, the working principle of the wavelength selective switch is: the free space optical stage based on the diffraction grating outputs light energy of a corresponding wavelength from a designated port partially (or entirely) by a selection mechanism by changing the angle or position of the optical path of the designated transmission channel. The corresponding technology of the selection mechanism specifically comprises the following steps: micromechanical System (MEMS) technology, liquid Crystal on silicon (LCoS, liquid Crystal on Silicon) and Liquid Crystal (LC) technology, etc.
In practical applications, the ports of the wavelength selective switch may be: n x M ports, wherein N, M may be a natural number. For example, a wavelength selective switch of 1*N may be employed and commonly used ports and sub-ports therein used.
In another embodiment of the present application, the wavelength selective switch may employ a programmable filter of 1*1. It can be appreciated that any structure capable of providing a corresponding attenuation amount for the transmission channel is within the protection scope of the structure of the wavelength selective switch according to the embodiment of the present application, and the specific structure of the wavelength selective switch is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the optical amplifier may further include: the storage unit is used for storing the mapping relation between the environment parameters and the attenuation parameters; the environmental parameters specifically include: and a transmission channel.
The storage unit may be disposed inside or outside the wavelength selective switch, and configured to store the mapping relationship, and then the wavelength selective switch may determine, according to the actual environment parameter and the mapping relationship, a target attenuation parameter corresponding to the actual environment parameter, so as to use the target attenuation parameter in the actual environment.
For example, the environmental parameters include: the transmission channel may then use the corresponding attenuation parameters for the particular transmission channel.
As another example, the above environmental parameters may further include: temperature parameters and/or gain parameters.
Some components of the wavelength selective switch are sensitive to temperature changes, so that the embodiment of the application can provide different attenuation parameters for different temperature parameters.
The gain parameter may characterize an amount of gain realized by the optical amplifier, e.g., an amount of gain realized by the first gain element and/or the second gain element. To achieve gain flattening requirements, different attenuation parameters may be provided for different gain parameters.
In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the mapping relationship described above may be determined in a scaled manner. Scaling may be used to determine the criteria of the wavelength selective switch to improve its accuracy. Alternatively, the voltage or power values may be scaled according to the dimensions of the environmental parameters, the port and the decay parameters.
For example, the corresponding voltage values may be calibrated for a particular wavelength switch to a particular port and a particular attenuation parameter. In the embodiment of the present application, the optical signal with the specific wavelength is transmitted in the specific transmission channel, so that the wavelength and the transmission channel have a corresponding relationship. Thus, the scaling for wavelengths of embodiments of the present application may be equivalent to the scaling for transmission channels. In addition, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, and thus, different wavelengths may have corresponding frequency ranges.
In the embodiment of the present application, the scaling principle may be: the gain flatness between different transmission channels meets preset conditions.
Gain flatness may refer to the values of "sharp increase" and "rapid decrease" in gain over a frequency range, measured in decibels (dB). The preset conditions may be: the deviation between the upper limit and the lower limit of the gain flatness between different transmission channels is smaller than a preset deviation, for example, the preset deviation may be 0-6 dB, etc., it is understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific preset deviation.
In summary, the embodiment of the application can perform calibration under the condition of environmental parameters to obtain attenuation parameters corresponding to a plurality of environmental parameters, and store the mapping relation between the environmental parameters and the attenuation parameters. Therefore, the requirement of realizing gain flatness for different environmental parameters can be satisfied.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the optical amplifier may further include: and the processing unit is used for determining the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels according to the slope parameters set by the user for the transmission channels. The embodiment of the application can support the transmission channel focused by a user, set the corresponding slope parameter, convert the slope parameter into the corresponding attenuation parameter and apply the corresponding attenuation parameter to the processing process of the optical signal.
The processing unit of the embodiments of the present application may be disposed inside or outside the wavelength selective switch, and may communicate with the wavelength selective switch to provide real-time or static attenuation parameters to the wavelength selective switch. The processing units may be implemented based on a single chip microcomputer or digital signal processing (DSP, digital Signal Processing) technology, and it is to be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to specific implementation forms of the processing units.
The slope parameter may be used to characterize a linear parameter in a corresponding linear relationship between the input and output of the optical amplifier.
Alternatively, the slope parameter may be converted into a corresponding attenuation parameter according to the attenuation parameter corresponding to the start point, the end point and the middle point of the frequency range, respectively, and the linear relationship. Assuming that the slope parameter is between [ -a, a ], the attenuation parameter corresponding to the start point is-a, the attenuation parameter corresponding to the midpoint is 0, the attenuation parameter corresponding to the end point is a, etc. The frequency range may correspond to the entire frequency band of the optical fiber communication system, or may correspond to a part of the frequency band of the optical fiber communication system.
In one embodiment of the present application, assuming that the slope parameter is T, the unit of the attenuation parameter is dB, and the frequency range of the optical amplifier is [ LowFreq, highFreq ], the attenuation parameter atttlit corresponding to the transmission channel with frequency of frequency may be determined according to the frequency, the slope parameter, and the frequency range corresponding to the transmission channel.
Alternatively, a first difference between frequency and the mean of the frequency range may be determined first; determining half of the difference between HighFreq and LowFreq as a second difference; determining a ratio of the first difference to the second difference, and determining a product of the ratio and T/2; and fusing the opposite number of the product with T/2 to obtain an attenuation parameter AttTilt.
In summary, the embodiment of the application can meet the requirements of users on the concerned transmission channel and the realization of gain flatness.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the optical amplifier may further include: and the processing unit is used for determining the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels according to the mapping relation between the environment parameters and the attenuation parameters obtained through calibration and the slope parameters set by the user for the transmission channels.
In this embodiment of the present application, assuming that an attenuation parameter obtained according to scaling is a first attenuation parameter and an attenuation parameter obtained according to a slope parameter set by a user is a second attenuation parameter, the first attenuation parameter and the second attenuation parameter may be fused, and the first fusion parameter obtained by fusion may be used for transmission of an optical signal.
In summary, according to the optical amplifier of the embodiment of the present application, the wavelength selective switch implements the attenuation amount corresponding to the transmission channel according to the attenuation parameter corresponding to the transmission channel, where the attenuation amount can be matched with the gain amount implemented by the first gain unit and/or the second gain unit, so as to implement the gain flattening requirement between different transmission channels.
Because the embodiment of the application can support dynamic configuration of the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels, and different transmission channels can correspond to different wavelengths or frequencies, the embodiment of the application can realize the gain flattening requirement in a wide frequency range based on the dynamic configuration of the attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels, namely the frequency range with flattened gain can be improved.
In addition, the wavelength selective switch is combined with the first gain unit and/or the second gain unit, so that the gain flattening requirement in a wide frequency range is realized. Since the requirements can be realized with fewer components and a simple structure, the cost of the optical amplifier can be reduced.
Example two
With respect to the first embodiment, the optical amplifier of the present embodiment may further include:
an optical channel monitoring unit (OCM, optical channel monitor) connected between the input port and the output port of the optical amplifier, for monitoring the performance parameter corresponding to the transmission channel;
and the processing unit is used for determining attenuation parameters corresponding to the transmission channels according to the performance parameters.
The OCM of the embodiments of the present application may be two independent devices, or may be a combination of one device and one 1*2 optical switch; the purpose of monitoring the performance parameters of the transmission channel of the optical amplifier can be achieved through polling.
The performance parameters can reflect the actual performance of the optical amplifier, and the embodiment of the application can update the attenuation parameters corresponding to the wavelength selective switch according to the difference between the performance parameters and the set performance parameters and apply the updated attenuation parameters to the processing process of the optical signals, so that the performance parameters can be matched with the set performance parameters, and further the optical amplifier can realize the performance corresponding to the set performance parameters.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where an OCM is added on the basis of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where OCM is added on the basis of fig. 2. Referring to fig. 6, a schematic diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where OCM is added on the basis of fig. 3.
The processing unit is not shown in fig. 4 to 6, and may be provided as a unit of an optical amplifier in practice, or may be provided inside the wavelength selection unit or the OCM. And, the processing unit may communicate with the OCM, e.g., the OCM sends the monitored performance parameter to the processing unit to cause the processing unit to derive the attenuation parameter based on the performance parameter.
The optical amplifiers shown in fig. 4 to 6 can utilize the performance parameters to perform negative feedback adjustment on the attenuation parameters corresponding to the wavelength selective switch, so that the performance parameters conform to the set performance parameters, and meanwhile, the requirements of gain flatness can be met.
According to one embodiment, the performance parameters specifically include: the actual gain parameters of the transmission channel; the processing unit is configured to determine an attenuation parameter corresponding to the transmission channel according to deviation information between the actual gain parameter and the set gain parameter. According to the embodiment of the application, the actual gain parameter can be enabled to accord with the set gain parameter set by the user, and meanwhile the requirement of gain flatness can be met.
According to another embodiment, the performance parameters specifically include: the actual power parameters of the transmission channel; the processing unit is configured to determine an attenuation parameter corresponding to the transmission channel according to deviation information between the actual power parameter and the set power parameter. According to the embodiment of the application, the actual power parameter can be enabled to meet the set power parameter set by a user, and meanwhile the requirement of gain flatness can be met.
In this embodiment of the present application, the OCM may first determine a transmission channel or frequency corresponding to the optical signal, and then determine a performance parameter corresponding to the optical signal according to the transmission channel or frequency corresponding to the optical signal.
In practical application, a channel recognition algorithm built in the OCM can be utilized to determine a transmission channel or frequency corresponding to the optical signal. Alternatively, the transmission channel or frequency corresponding to the optical signal may be determined according to the configuration of the user, for example, the transmission channel or frequency corresponding to the optical signal may be determined according to the transmission channel corresponding to the port.
In this embodiment of the present application, optionally, the OCM may monitor the corresponding performance parameter for a set transmission channel or a set frequency set by a user. If the frequencies corresponding to the optical signals or the set frequencies are not matched, the corresponding performance parameters may not be monitored. In this way, a customisation of the performance parameter tuning of the transmission channel or frequency can be achieved.
In the embodiment of the application, it is assumed that an attenuation parameter obtained according to calibration is a first attenuation parameter, an attenuation parameter obtained according to a slope parameter set by a user is a second attenuation parameter, and an attenuation parameter obtained according to frequency monitoring feedback set by the user is a third attenuation parameter; any one of the first, second and third attenuation parameters may be used or at least two of the first, second and third attenuation parameters may be used in combination.
For example, the first attenuation parameter, the second attenuation parameter, and the third attenuation parameter may be fused, and the fused second fusion parameter may be used for transmission of the optical signal.
Referring to fig. 7, a schematic representation of a mapping relationship between attenuation and frequency is shown in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the horizontal axis represents frequency and the vertical axis represents attenuation.
The first region 701 characterizes a region corresponding to the first attenuation parameter, which may correspond to a gain of 6dB, for achieving gain flattening requirements at different frequencies in the range of 6 dB.
The second region 702 characterizes a region corresponding to the second attenuation parameter, which may correspond to a gain of 3dB for achieving a slope of the gain in the range of 3 dB. It is understood that the second region 702 corresponds to the entire frequency range as an alternative embodiment only, and may actually correspond to a portion of the frequency range.
The third region 703 characterizes a region corresponding to a third attenuation parameter, which may correspond to a gain of 6 dB. The third area 703 may be opened to the user to allow the user to adjust the performance parameters corresponding to the transmission channel of interest. For example, a user may set a set power or a set gain corresponding to a certain frequency, and in this embodiment of the present application, the attenuation parameter may be updated according to the set power or the set gain, so that the actual power of the optical amplifier matches with the set power.
Example III
In contrast to the first embodiment, the second gain unit of this embodiment specifically includes: at least two second gain units;
the optical amplifier may further include:
and the optical switch is connected between the output ends of the at least two second gain units and the output port of the optical amplifier.
According to the embodiment of the application, the at least two second gain units can correspond to different gain amounts, the output of the at least two second gain units is connected with the output port of the optical amplifier through the optical switch, and the requirements of different users on the different gain amounts can be met.
And, the embodiment of the application cooperates the wavelength selective switch with at least two second gain units to provide different gain amounts. This can reduce the processing cost of the optical signal relative to a plurality of optical amplifiers using different amounts of gain.
By applying the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the gain amount is required to be switched, the input signal of the wavelength selective switch can be switched to the target gain unit, and the optical switch is connected with the target gain unit.
Referring to fig. 8, a schematic structural diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where on the basis of fig. 1, the second gain unit specifically includes: a second gain unit a and a second gain unit B. And an optical switch is additionally arranged and is connected between the output ends of the second gain unit A and the second gain unit B and the output port of the optical amplifier so as to switch the gain amounts corresponding to the second gain unit A and the second gain unit B.
Example IV
With respect to the first embodiment, the optical amplifier of the present embodiment may further include:
a noise generating unit connected to at least part of the input ports;
the second input port corresponding to the noise generating unit corresponds to the first input port corresponding to the optical signal and different transmission channels.
The noise generation unit may be configured to generate noise corresponding to the second transmission channel and the optical signal corresponding to the first transmission channel. The first transmission channel is complementary with the second transmission channel, so that the stability of optical signal transmission can be improved.
In practical applications, the noise generating unit is a source of spontaneous emission noise (ASE, amplifier spontaneous emission).
ASE and optical signals respectively enter sub-ports of the wavelength selective switch, and the combined signals are output from a common port of the wavelength selective switch. The ASE source may be built in the optical amplifier, or may be externally input to a port reserved in an equipment panel of the optical amplifier.
To avoid the influence of ASE on the optical signal, different transmission channels may be configured for the first input port and the second input port. For example, channel sets {1,2,3} are configured for the first input port, channel sets {4,5,6} are configured for the second input port, and so on. Since the transmission channels corresponding to the noise are generated from the inside of the optical amplifier, the user only declares the power of the noise, and then the attenuation parameters are adjusted by the OCM negative feedback to the wavelength selective switch. The OCM may filter out the performance parameters of the noise from the monitored performance parameters of the output to filter out the effects of the noise.
Referring to fig. 9, a schematic structural diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where ASE is added on the basis of fig. 1, and the ASE may be connected to an input port of a wavelength selective switch.
Referring to fig. 10, a schematic diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where ASE is added to the optical amplifier of fig. 2, and the ASE may be connected to an input port of a wavelength selective switch.
Referring to fig. 11, a schematic structural diagram of an optical amplifier according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where ASE is added on the basis of fig. 3, and the ASE may be connected to an input port of a wavelength selective switch.
