本发明涉及一种光时域反射仪及其测量方法, 具体来讲是一种混沌光时域 反射仪及其测量方法, 属于光纤线路测量技术领域。
技术背景
光时域反射仪 (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, 简称 OTDR) 是基于背 向散射或反射信号的测量仪器, 该仪器可以方便的对光纤进行非破坏性测量, 并能够连续显示整个光纤线路损耗的相对位置变化和故障点位置, 成为光纤研 究、 生产、 铺设以及维护整个产业中应用最广的测量仪器, 在整个光纤产业中 占有重要的地位。 OTDR主要由光发射部分、 光接收部分、 数据处理部分及显 示部分组成。 其中光发射、 光接受及数据处理部分是 OTDR的最关键部分, 代 表着 OTDR的核心技术。传统的 OTDR采用脉冲激光器作为光源, 脉冲激光发 射器向待测光纤链路发射光脉冲, 通过测量回射光的功率及飞行时间得到损耗 与距离的关系。 对于使用脉冲激光器作为光源的传统 OTDR来说, 存在的问题 是分辨率低, 其分辨率受限制于光脉冲的宽度, 如要达到 100m 的分辨率, 脉 冲宽度要小于 1 μ5 , 且由于 OTDR发射的峰值功率受限于激光器, 动态范围的 提高主要通过提高光脉冲能量实现, 提高动态范围就会降低 OTDR分辨率, 而 提高分辨率就会降低动态范围, 这是传统脉冲式 OTDR无法解决的问题。
在先技术 EP0269448、 JP9026376提出改进的相关法 OTDR采用了伪随机 码调制的光脉冲, 利用相关技术进行信号处理, 能较好的解决分辨率与动态范 围无法同时提高的矛盾, 可大大提高光时域反射的动态范围及分辨率。 然而由 于受限于伪随机码信号的频谱带宽, 其分辨率的提高非常有限, 没有完全发挥 出相关法 OTDR测量的优势, 并且这种 OTDR装置需要昂贵的伪随机码发生装

确认本 置及复杂的编码、 调制电路。
发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种分辨率高、 结构简单、 成本低廉的光时域反射仪 及其测量方法, 以克服传统 OTDR分辨率低及分辨率与动态范围无法同时提高 的问题, 解决相关法 OTDR中由于信号带宽较小导致分辨率较低的问题。
为实现上述目的, 本发明利用混沌激光信号代替相关法 OTDR中的伪随机 码调制的光脉冲作为探测信号, 混沌激光信号为真正的随机信号, 较伪随机码 信号具有更高的带宽, 可以大大提高 OTDR的分辨率和减小测量盲区, 且混沌 光发射装置结构简单, 成本低廉。 其测量原理是将混沌光分为探测光 I和参考 光 Π , 设参考光 II满足的函数关系式为 /(0, 探测光 I经过待测光纤线路回射 后满足的函数关系式 g(0 = ( - ), 则其互相关函数 /(:·) = £/(/ - Γ)/(/ - Γ。) 。 当 r = r。时, 互相关函数存在峰值。 互相关函数的峰值与回射光强度有关。 基于 此原理, 通过互相关仪或计算机进行处理就可以获得探测光回射的强度与往返 时间 r。, 从而实现故障定位与光纤传输特性的检测。
本发明混沌光时域反射仪包括混沌光发射装置、 光纤耦合器、光电探测器、 ΜΌ转换器、 信号处理装置及显示装置, 其结构特点在于混沌光发射装置发射 的混沌光信号通过光纤耦合器 I分为探测光 I和参考光 II; 探测光 I经光环形 器发射到待测光纤线路中, 利用光电探测器 I接收从待测光纤线路中回射的探 测光 I, 经 A/D转换器 I转换成数字信号输入信号处理装置中; 参考光 II由光 电探测器 II接收, 由光信号转化为电信号, 再经 A/D转换器 II转换成数字信号 输入到信号处理装置中, 信号处理装置对输入的两路数字信号进行互相关后输 入到显示装置中。
本发明混沌光时域反射仪的探测光 I也可以经光放大器放大后再经光环形 器发射到待测光纤线路中。 上面所述的混沌光发射装置是混沌半导体激光器或者是混沌光纤激光器; 所述的混沌半导体激光器是半导体激光器外加反馈装置构成, 或者是一个半导 体激光器连接到另一个半导体激光器构成; 所述的反馈装置是数字反射计或者 是光纤端面镀反射膜的光纤或者是由光纤光栅与可调光衰减器构成; 所述的混 沌光纤激光器是带强度调制器的单环光纤激光器或者是双环光纤激光器; 所述 的光环形器还可以是光纤耦合器或者是分束器; 所述的信号处理装置是数字相 关仪或者是计算机。
本发明用于混沌光时域反射仪的测量方法, 该方法是将混沌激光信号分为 探测光和参考光, 探测光发射到待测光纤线路中, 光纤线路中回射的探测光与 参考光进行互相关比较, 获得光纤中损耗与距离关系, 实现故障定位与光纤传 输特性的检测。
本发明用于混沌光时域反射仪的测量方法也可以由参考光引入延迟来适应 光纤线路的测量, 由延迟量的不同来设置不同的档位, 适应不同的测量范围。
本发明提供的混沌光时域反射仪及其测量方法和现有光时域反射仪相比具 有以下的优点与积极效果:
(1)本发明利用混沌激光信号作为 OTDR的探测信号, 利用混沌激光的互相 关特性来提取光纤线路的损耗与距离, 抗干扰能力强, 噪声容忍度大。
(2)本发明与现有技术相比, 省去了高性能的脉冲激光器或昂贵的伪随机码 发生装置及复杂的编码以及调制电路, 简化了装置, 节约了成本。
(3)本发明测量分辨率较高。 半导体激光器或光纤激光器通过简单的光路即 可产生高维混沌信号, 带宽可达数十 GHz, 用于 OTDR的测量, 距离分辨率可 达毫米量级。
(4)本发明测量范围广, 动态范围高。 与现有技术相比 OTDR采用单个脉冲 作为信号光, COTDR采用的信号为一段时间的混沌激光信号,提高了信号光功 率, 且采用互相关技术进行信号处理, 消除了部分噪声, 从而提高了动态范围。 且本方法在理论上最小可测到毫米以下的距离, 减小了由于脉冲宽度引起的测 量盲区, 在使用较高增益的光放大器和高精度的光电探测器下, 最大测量光纤 长度可达数十千米。 同时若采用分档的方法可进一步提高测量范围。
(5)利于集成化和***化。 可以将多个仪器对光纤网络进行监控, 利用一台 计算机可以进行多点测量。
本发明已研制出样机, 并用于 1550nm光纤链路进行了初步试验, 图 4为 混沌信号在参考光与探测光时延不同下的相关图, 获得最低距离分辨率 6cm, 基本消除了测量盲区, 实现了本发明所提出的目的。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图用实施例能够对本发明作出进一步的详细说明
实施例 1 如图 1,本发明混沌光时域反射仪,主要包括混沌光发射装置、光纤耦合器、 光电探测器、 A/D转换器、 信号处理***及显示装置。
其中混沌光发射装置 1 可由半导体激光器 12、 光纤耦合器 II 13 以及反馈装置 14组成 (如图 2所示), 其中反馈装置 14是数字反射计或是端面镀反射膜的光 纤或是由光纤光栅与可调光衰减器构成。半导体激光器 12输出的一部分光经反 馈装置 14回射到半导体激光器中, 使半导体激光器输出混沌激光信号。若将反 馈装置 14换成另外一个半导体激光器, 则半导体激光器 12在另一个半导体激 光器输出的光注入下也会输出混沌激光信号。 混沌光发射装置 1还可以是双环 光纤激光器: 一个光纤环由波分复用器 I 16、 光隔离器 17、 掺铒光纤 I 18及光 纤耦合器 III 19构成; 另一个光纤环由光纤耦合器 III 19、 光纤耦合器 IV 20、 掺铒光纤 II 21及波分复用器 II 23构成。 两个环路通过光纤耦合器 III 19连接。 半导体激光器 II 15和半导体激光器 III 22可选用波长 980nm的半导体激光器分 别用来抽运掺铒光纤 I 18及掺铒光纤 II 21。 若在由波分复用器 I 16、 光隔离 器 17、掺铒光纤 I 18及光纤耦合器 III 19构成的单环光纤激光器中加入一强度 调制器, 在适当条件下, 带强度调制器的单环光纤激光器也能输出混沌激光信 号。
产生的混沌激光信号通过光纤耦合器 I 2分成两路探测光 I和参考光 II: 探测光 I通过光环形器 3或耦合器发射到待测光纤线路 4上, 线路中散射或反 射的回波信号由光电探测器 I 5转化为电信号, 经 A/D转换器 I 6将模拟信号 转换成数字信号后, 输入到信号处理装置 9; 参考光 II直接照射到光电探测器 11 7, A/D转换器 II 8输入到信号处理装置 9。 在探测光路中加入光放大器 11, 如掺铒光纤放大器或半导体光放大器, 可提高探测光功率, 从而提高动态范围, 增加测量范围。 信号处理装置 9是数字相关仪或者计算机。
实施例 2 图 1 也显示了混沌光时域反射仪测量方法。 将混沌激光信号分成两路探测 光 I和参考光 II: 探测光 I发射到待测光纤线路 4上, 接收线路中散射或反射 的回波信号并输入到信号处理装置 9; 同时接收参考光 Π到信号处理装置 9。设 信号处理装置记录的参考光 Π满足的函数关系式为 /(/) , 则记录的探测光 I经 过待测光纤线路回射后满足的函数关系式 g(0 = ( - r。)。 在信号处理装置中得 到两路信号的互相关函数
Figure imgf000008_0001
从而获得光纤线路损耗与 距离关系, 通过显示装置 11显示出测量结果, 实现故障定位与光纤传输特性的 检测。 图 4即为探测光经不同长度光纤端面回射的信号与参考光互相关得到的 图。
在测量长光纤线路时, 探测光 I和参考光 Π之间的延迟较大, 这时由于记 录的数据点长度一样, 数据采集点之间的间距较大, 使得分辨率较低, 我们让 参考光 Π引入一定的延迟, 使探测光 I和参考光 II之间的延迟减小, 即可以在 长光纤线路测量中保持高分辨率。 引入延迟的方法有在参考光 II光路中加分级 可变光延迟线或电路中加分级可变电延迟线或通过计算机记录参考光 II一定延 迟后的数据。 根据延迟时间的长短设置分档: 长的延迟对应长光纤线路测量, 短的延迟对应短光纤线路测量, 实现不同的测量范围下高分辨率测量。
