Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a remote pumping system that can increase the power of pumping into fiber.
- UHV grids As the backbone of smart grid construction, UHV grids will play an increasingly important role in the power system. UHV grids have the characteristics of wide coverage (mostly cross-regional grids), long transmission distances, and large transmission capacity. , But its line path is remote, the installation of optical relay station is inconvenient and the cost is high. Therefore, the use of ultra-long distance optical communication technology with remote pumping has become an important technical basis for cross-regional grid interconnection; with the rapid economic development , which has led to the rise of urban agglomerations. In the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Bay Rim, there have been urban agglomerations with an adjacent interval of no more than 350 kilometers.
- the erbium-doped fiber as a gain unit has a wide absorption spectrum in the 14xx band, it is not very sensitive to the pump wavelength requirements (1460 ⁇ 1490nm), but the pump needs It is transmitted to the gain unit through optical fiber from hundreds of kilometers, and the line loss is very large, so the pumping power of the fiber is required to be high.
- the biggest problem is that the pumping laser in the 1480nm band cannot be too large. If it is too large, it is easy to produce laser lasing in the 1580nm wavelength region.
- the pump light in the 1480nm band will be quickly consumed, and it will no longer be possible to provide pump light to the remote gain unit. Even if the 1480 pump light source adds two wavelengths in the 1480nm band region, the maximum input power of the pump will not be improved.
- an isolator or filter can be added to the transmission line to suppress the accumulation of ASE in the 1580 wavelength region, but the effect of increasing the maximum pump fiber power is not obvious;
- the maximum pumping fiber power is limited to less than 1400mW (the actual effect is also to subtract 1dB isolators or filters.
- the actual effect of the pump is only 1200mW). It can also be achieved by using as many pump wavelengths as possible, but the pump wavelength multiplexing is extremely complicated and the cost is high; this is because the multiplexing of different wavelengths may be involved in the multiplexing process.
- the laser The linewidth is relatively narrow, and when a laser with a narrow linewidth is transmitted in an optical fiber, it will produce a relatively large Raman gain for a certain wavelength. If the Raman gain is too large, the Rayleigh scattering effect in the superimposed fiber will be generated. Random Raman laser lasing reduces the energy of 14xx and affects the Raman gain; if you reduce the power of a single pump laser and combine multiple wavelengths and low-power lasers, the effect will be the same as that of a broadband light source Yes, but the loss caused by multiplexing is very high and the cost is high.

- the specific analysis is as follows:
- the gain and noise index are slightly different under the same pump power, but the difference is very small.
- the preamplifier 7, and the second transmission fiber 4-2 between the remote gain unit 5 and the preamplifier 7 are regarded as a whole cascade amplifier, This difference in gain is even more negligible.

Description
本发明涉及光通信技术领域,具体涉及一种可提高泵浦入纤功率的远程泵浦***。
特高压电网作为智能电网建设的骨干网架,在电力***中将发挥越来越重要的作用,而特高压电网具有覆盖范围广(多为跨区域电网)、传输距离长、输电容量大等特点,但其线路路径位置偏远,设置光中继站维护不便且成本较高,因此采用带有远程泵浦的超长站距光通信技术已成为跨大区电网联网的重要技术基础;伴随经济的飞跃发展,带动了城市群的兴起,在长江三角洲、珠江三角洲、环渤海湾等地都出现相邻间隔不大于350公里的城市群,城市群内部相邻城市之间的通信目前对带宽的需求越来越高,因此这些地区正在成为远程泵浦无中继传输的一个新的应用热点区域;由于在一些沼泽、沙漠、森林等无人区,中继站建设、维护费用高,所以这些地区也是远程泵浦无中继传输潜在的应用领域。
早期的电力***主要是单波长长跨距***,这样的长跨距***在远程增益单元设计时并不用考虑增益平坦问题,目前随着大数据、视频会议对传输带宽的巨大需求,单波长通信***已不能满足发展需要,多波长长跨距传输***的设计与建设已迫在眉睫。
在多波长长跨距的远程泵浦***中,由于作为增益单元的掺铒光纤在14xx波段有很宽的吸收谱,所以对泵浦波长要求不是很敏感(1460~1490nm),但是泵浦要从上百公里的地方经过光纤传送给增益单元,线路损耗非常大,因此要求泵浦入纤功率较高。而目前在多波长长跨距的 远程泵浦***中,最大的问题就是1480nm波段的泵浦激光入纤功率不能太大。如果过大,容易在1580nm波长区域产生激光激射,产生激光激射后1480nm波段的泵浦光将被迅速消耗,无法再给远程增益单元提供泵浦光。1480泵浦光源即使在1480nm波段区域增加两个波长,泵浦最大入纤功率也不会有改善。
为了提高1480nm波长区域的最大泵浦入纤功率,可通过在传输线路中增加隔离器或滤波器来抑制1580波长区域的ASE累积的方式,但是对提升最大泵浦入纤功率效果不明显;例如,在G.652光纤中,目前通过在线路中间增加隔离器或滤波器的方式,最大的泵浦入纤功率被限制在1400mW以下(实际效果还要减去1dB隔离器或滤波器的附加插损,泵浦实际效果只有1200mW)。还可以通过采用尽可能多的泵浦波长来实现,但是泵浦波长合波异常复杂,成本也高;这是因为合波过程中可能涉及到不同波长的合波,为了合波方便,激光器的线宽相对比较窄,而窄线宽的激光器在光纤中传输时,就会对某个波长产生比较大的拉曼增益,如果拉曼增益过大,叠加光纤中的瑞利散射效应就会产生随机的拉曼激光激射,降低了14xx的能量,影响了拉曼增益;如果降低单个泵浦激光器的功率,用多个波长小功率的激光器合波,效果就会与宽带光源的效果是相同的,但合波带来的损耗很大,成本很高。
鉴于此,克服上述现有技术所存在的缺陷是本技术领域亟待解决的问题。
【发明内容】
本发明需要解决的技术问题是:
目前通常采用1480泵浦激光器作为远程泵浦放大器的泵浦光源,但1480nm波段的泵浦激光入纤功率不能太大,如果过大则容易在1580nm波长区域产生激光激射,无法再给远程增益单元提供泵浦光,限缩了整体传 输距离。

为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。
在本发明的描述中,术语“内”、“外”、“纵向”、“横向”、“上”、“下”、“顶”、“底”、“左”、“右”、“前”、“后”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的 方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本发明而不是要求本发明必须以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不应当理解为对本发明的限制。
在本发明各实施例中,符号“/”表示同时具有两种功能的含义,而对于符号“A和/或B”则表明由该符号连接的前后对象之间的组合包括“A”、“B”、“A和B”三种情况。
此外,下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。下面就参考附图和实施例结合来详细说明本发明。
本发明实施例提供了一种可提高泵浦入纤功率的远程泵浦***,如图1和图2所示,所述远程泵浦***为同纤泵浦或异纤泵浦,两类泵浦***均包括相互连接的远程增益单元5和远程泵浦单元6,所述远程增益单元5相应地为同纤泵浦增益单元或异纤泵浦增益单元。所述远程泵浦单元6用于向所述远程增益单元5提供泵浦光,以便所述远程增益单元5利用泵浦光实现增益。
为了抑制较大的泵浦功率导致的传输光纤中的激光激射现象,无论是同纤泵浦还是异纤泵浦,所述泵浦光中均包含1480nm波段的宽带ASE光源,且1480nm波段的宽带ASE光源为所述远程泵浦单元6的最主要组成部分。其中,所述1480nm波段对应的波长范围(即宽带ASE光源的波长范围)为1460nm~1490nm,基于宽带ASE光源滤波形成的准多波长形式也可以认作宽带ASE光源。
与单独的1480nm泵浦激光器相比,宽带ASE光源在作为拉曼泵浦时,放大的带宽更宽,在光纤中某一波长处产生拉曼激光激射的阈值会更高,不再集中于1580nm很窄的波长区域;因此采用宽带ASE光源更有利于远程泵浦***中泵浦功率的提高,抑制1580nm波长区域激光激射的产生,延长泵浦单元与增益单元的距离,提升整个传输跨距的长度。
结合图1和图2,无论是同纤泵浦还是异纤泵浦,完整的远程泵浦*** 还包括顺次连接的光发射机阵列1、光合波器2-1、功率放大器3、第一传输光纤4-1、第二传输光纤4-2、前置放大器7、光分波器2-2和光接收机阵列9;其中,所述远程增益单元5连接在所述第一传输光纤4-1和所述第二传输光纤4-2之间。所述光发射机阵列1包括第一光发射机1-1、第二光发射机1-2、…、第n光发射机1-n,n为自然数;相应地,所述光接收机阵列9包括第一光接收机9-1,第二光接收机9-2、…、第n光接收机9-n,n为自然数。
参考图1,当所述远程泵浦***为同纤泵浦时,所述远程增益单元5为同纤泵浦增益单元;则所述远程泵浦单元6顺次连接在所述第二传输光纤4-2和所述前置放大器7之间,所述远程泵浦单元6通过所述第二传输光纤4-2将泵浦光反向传送到所述远程增益单元5中。结合图1,在上述同纤泵浦中,具体光路如下:
所述光发射机阵列1中的各发射机发射出信号光,经所述光合波器2-1合波后,再经所述功率放大器3进行功率放大,通过所述第一传输光纤4-1的传输后信号光抵达所述远程增益单元5;与此同时,所述远程泵浦单元6产生泵浦光,并经所述第二传输光纤4-2将泵浦光反向传输后抵达所述远程增益单元5;信号光在所述远程增益单元5中借由泵浦光实现放大,随后经所述第二传输光纤4-2传输后达到所述前置放大器7,进一步放大后经所述光分波器2-2分波,最终由所述光接收机阵列9中的各光接收机接收。
其中,作为同纤泵浦增益单元,所述远程增益单元5具体可参考图3,包括顺次连接的第一光隔离器5-1、信号/泵浦合波器5-2、第一掺铒光纤5-3、第二光隔离器5-4、第二掺铒光纤5-5、泵浦反射镜5-6、第三光隔离器5-7及泵浦/信号合波器5-8。其中,信号光经所述第一光隔离器5-1进入所述远程增益单元5,并抵达所述信号/泵浦合波器5-2;泵浦光与信号光传输方向相反,则在泵浦光反向进入所述远程增益单元5前,先经所述泵浦/信号合波器5-8将泵浦光分离出来,所述信号/泵浦合波器5-2再将泵浦光和信号 光耦合,实现前向泵浦;放大后的信号光先后经过所述第一掺铒光纤5-3、所述第二光隔离器5-4与所述第二掺铒光纤5-5后,经所述第三光隔离器5-7输出,最终残余的泵浦光被所述泵浦反射镜5-6反射回原线路。
参考图2,当所述远程泵浦***为异纤泵浦时,所述远程增益单元5为异纤泵浦增益单元;则所述远程泵浦***还包括单独设置的第三传输光纤4-3,所述泵浦单元6通过所述第三传输光纤4-3将泵浦光传送到所述远程增益单元5中。结合图2,在上述异纤泵浦中,具体光路如下:
所述光发射机阵列1中的各发射机发射出的信号光,经所述光合波器2-1合波后,再经所述功率放大器3进行功率放大,通过所述第一传输光纤4-1的传输后信号光抵达所述远程增益单元5;与此同时,所述远程泵浦单元6产生泵浦光,并经所述第三传输光纤4-3传输后抵达所述远程增益单元5;信号光在所述远程增益单元5中借由泵浦光实现放大,随后经所述第二传输光纤4-2传输后达到所述前置放大器7,进一步放大后经所述光分波器2-2分波,最终由所述光接收机阵列9中的各光接收机接收。
其中,作为异纤泵浦增益单元,所述远程增益单元5具体可参考图4,包括顺次连接的第一光隔离器5-1、信号/泵浦合波器5-2、第一掺铒光纤5-3、第二光隔离器5-4、第二掺铒光纤5-5、泵浦反射镜5-6及第三光隔离器5-7。信号光经所述第一光隔离器5-1进入所述远程增益单元5,并抵达所述信号/泵浦合波器5-2;泵浦光与信号光传输方向相同,则泵浦光直接经所述第三传输光纤4-3进入所述远程增益单元5,并抵达所述信号/泵浦合波器5-2,所述信号/泵浦合波器5-2再将泵浦光和信号光耦合,实现前向泵浦;放大后的信号光先后经过所述第一掺铒光纤5-3、所述第二光隔离器5-4与所述第二掺铒光纤5-5后,经所述第三光隔离器5-7输出,最终残余的泵浦光被所述泵浦反射镜5-6反射回原线路。
无论是同纤泵浦还是异纤泵浦,为使整体放大器的增益尽量平坦,所述远程增益单元5内均可设有增益平坦滤波器,用于保持所述远程泵浦系 统的增益平坦,具体可将增益平坦滤波器设置在图3或图4中的两段掺铒光纤之间。除此以外,在优选的实施例中,还可以不将增益平坦滤波器设置在所述远程增益单元5内,而是设置在所述远程增益单元5的下游,具体可设置在图1或图2中所述前置放大器7的输出端。如此一来,在保证整个传输***增益平坦的同时,还可使远程增益单元的增益与噪声指数明显改善,进而带来整个***OSNR的有效提升,提高了***运行的稳定性与可靠性;而且,相比远程增益单元来说,前置放大器更容易施工,将增益平坦滤波器放到更容易施工的前置放大器输出端之后,也可方便***维护。
进一步地,当所述远程泵浦***为同纤泵浦时,为了降低远程泵浦带来的增益不平坦问题,所述泵浦光中还可集成有其他14xx nm泵浦光,如图1所示,用来提高短波长信号的增益,使整个信号波段的增益得到均衡;其中,所述其他14xx nm泵浦光的波长范围与所述宽带ASE光源的波段范围相同,为1460nm~1490nm。而对于单信号波长***,也就是泵浦光为单波长时,可以不考虑增益均衡,则所述泵浦光中还可集成有短波长泵浦光,用于对所述其他14xx nm泵浦光或所述宽带ASE光源进行放大;其中,所述短波长泵浦光的波长范围为1300nm~1450nm,例如可以是13xx nm。
而当所述远程泵浦***为异纤泵浦时,泵浦光是单独在第三传输光纤4-3中传输,泵浦光对信号光没有拉曼放大效果,只是将宽带ASE光源传送到所述远程增益单元5,因此泵浦光可以单独为宽带ASE光源。当然,在可选的实施例中,所述泵浦光中也可以集成有对所述宽带ASE光源有放大效果的其他14xx nm泵浦光和/或短波长泵浦光(如13xx),在此不做限定。其中,所述其他14xx nm泵浦光的波长范围为1460nm~1490nm,所述短波长泵浦光的波长范围为1300nm~1450nm。
传统平坦型1480nm波段的宽带ASE光源的谱型可参考图5。由于所述远程增益单元5对泵浦波长要求不敏感,在1455~1495nm范围内都有较 强的吸收,即1480nm波段的宽带ASE光源波长范围都属于所述远程增益单元5的高吸收区域,因此当所述远程增益单元5采用1480nm波段的宽带ASE光源时,泵浦效率差别很小。但由于宽带ASE光源谱型上的差别,会造成所述远程增益单元5的噪声指数有些差异,进而对泵浦入纤功率造成一定的影响。
鉴于上述考虑,本发明实施例在所述远程泵浦单元6内设有增益平坦滤波器,用于对所述宽带ASE光源的输出谱型进行优化,将传统的高斯型或平坦型宽带ASE光源优化为中间凹陷、两边凸起的抛物线形状,如图6所示,使得输出的平均波长满足所述远程增益单元5所需的最优平均波长,即所述远程增益单元5噪声指数最优的波长。在具体的优化设计过程中,先计算出最优平均波长,再以此设计出对应的宽带ASE光源谱型,即所述宽带ASE光源的优化谱型是根据所述最优平均波长设计,而所述最优平均波长需根据以下公式计算:
其中,λ
a表示最优平均波长,n表示在宽带ASE光源的1480nm波段范围内取n个波长(例如分别选取1460nm、1480nm和1490nm),λ
i表示在1480nm波段范围内选取的第i个波长,i=1,2,3,...,n;P
i表示与第i个波长对应的泵浦功率。在本发明实施例中,通过计算设计,得到优化后的宽带ASE光源谱型如图6所示,即中间凹陷、两边凸起的抛物线形状。
为了证明宽带ASE光源的优势,本发明实施例中分别利用泵浦激光器和如图5、图6所示的宽带ASE光源作为泵浦光,展开对比研究,得到如图7所示的几种不同情况下ASE泵浦与激光泵浦时的增益谱。其中,曲线401为单波长1480nm、功率1200mW的泵浦激光器为泵浦时产生的ASE功率谱密度,曲线402为平坦型宽带ASE光源、功率1200mW作为泵浦时 产生的ASE功率谱密度,曲线403为平坦型宽带ASE光源、功率1300mW作为泵浦时产生的ASE功率谱密度,曲线404为优化的宽带ASE光源、功率1500mW作为泵浦时产生的ASE功率谱密度。
首先对图7中的曲线401和曲线402对比,可以看出:在相同泵浦功率情况下,ASE泵浦与激光泵浦均在1580nm波长区域内ASE功率谱密度达到最大值,而曲线402的ASE功率谱密度更小。也就是说,采用相同功率的1480nm宽带ASE光源时,更容易在光纤中1580nm波长区域抑制激光激射现象的产生。因此,利用ASE泵浦时,可采用比1480nm激光器更高的输出功率用于远程泵浦放大器的泵浦源,以有效提高传输距离。
继续参考图7,对于平坦型的宽带ASE光源,如果达到如曲线401(即激光泵浦时)同样的ASE功率谱密度(即达到同样的激射点),宽带ASE光源的泵浦入纤功率可以达到1300mW,即曲线403所示。而对于优化谱型后的宽带ASE光源,如果达到如曲线401同样的ASE功率谱密度,宽带ASE光源的泵浦入纤功率可以达到1500mW,即曲线404所示。由此可知,与1480nm的激光泵浦相比,1480波段的宽带ASE光源更容易提供较大的泵浦入纤功率;而与传统平坦型的宽带ASE光源相比,谱型优化后(即如图6所示)后的ASE光源更容易提供较大的泵浦入纤功率,具体可以提高泵浦入纤功率1dB以上,泵浦入纤功率达到1480nm的激光泵浦时的1.25倍,大大提高了整个传输距离。
进一步地,由于所述远程增益单元5对泵浦波长要求不敏感,在1455~1495nm范围内都有较强的吸收,在此波长范围内能量转换效率及放大后的噪声指数相差不大,因此宽带ASE光源在对铒纤泵浦时,通常等效为宽带ASE光源的平均波长。具体分析如下:
所述远程增益单元5在1460nm、1480nm、1490nm作为泵浦源时,相同的泵浦功率情况下增益与噪声指数略有差别,但差别很小。特别是将所述远程增益单元5、所述前置放大器7、所述远程增益单元5与所述前置放 大器7之间的第二传输光纤4-2看作一个整体的级联放大器时,这种增益上的差别更会忽略不计。根据级联放大器噪声指数计算公式,所述远程增益单元5与所述前置放大器7的等效噪声指数NF=NF
1+(NF
2-1)/G
1;其中,NF
1与G
1分别为所述远程增益单元5的噪声指数和增益,NF
2为所述前置放大器7的噪声指数。由于NF
2小于0,所以NF
1与整体的NF基本相同。因此,在考虑宽带ASE光源作为泵浦光时,不能简单地将泵浦波长作为1460nm、1480nm或1490nm,而是将其作为平均波长来考虑。
如图8所示,给出了所述远程增益单元5在相同泵浦功率、不同泵浦波长(即平均波长)情况下的增益情况。其中,曲线601为1460nm泵浦时的增益谱,曲线602为1480nm泵浦时的增益谱,曲线603为1490nm泵浦时的增益谱,曲线604为1474nm泵浦时的增益谱。在本发明实施例中,优化的宽带ASE光源的平均波长大约为1474nm,因此曲线604也就对应为优化宽带ASE光源泵浦时的增益谱。
如图9所示,给出了将所述远程增益单元5、所述前置放大器7、所述远程增益单元5与所述前置放大器7之间的第二传输光纤4-2看作级联放大器时,级联放大器在相同泵浦功率、不同泵浦波长(即平均波长)情况下的整体噪声指数。其中,曲线701为1460nm泵浦时的噪声指数,曲线702为1480nm泵浦时的噪声指数,曲线703为1490nm泵浦时的噪声指数,曲线704为1474nm泵浦时的噪声指数。在本发明实施例中,优化的宽带ASE光源的平均波长大约为1474nm,因此曲线704也就对应为优化宽带ASE光源泵浦时的噪声指数。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的远程泵浦***具有以下有益效果:
利用1480nm宽带ASE光源作为远程泵浦放大器的泵浦光,减小了泵浦光在传输光纤中的能量密度,减小了远程泵浦光在光纤中的拉曼效应,有效抑制了拉曼激光激射现象的产生,提高了最大泵浦光的入纤功率,有效延长了泵浦单元与增益单元之间的距离,从而大幅提高了整体传输距离;
同时,通过在远程泵浦单元内设置增益平坦滤波器,可进一步优化设计宽带ASE光源的谱型,使宽带ASE光源的输出谱型呈中间凹陷、两边凸起的抛物线形状,可以提高泵浦入纤功率1dB以上,进一步提高了整体传输距离。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
