Description

The DWDM optical module and the method for tunable 50GHz and 100GHz channel spacing
Technical field
The present invention relates to the DWDM optical module, the DWDM optical module and the method for especially a kind of tunable 50GHz and 100GHz channel spacing.
Background technology
Along with the quick growth of Chinese user to various communication needs, and the accelerate development of 3G and 4G networking from now on, how from multiple alternative plan, to find out low cost solution, with performance that improves communication system and the bandwidth that increases system, become the focus of system, optical module and device manufacturer common concern.
From the angle of system applies, fully effectively utilize bandwidth of an optical fiber, improve the transmission capacity of simple optical fiber, a kind of rational solution of can yet be regarded as.WDM(WavelengthDivisionMultiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing) technology is exactly at optical sender, light wave multiplexer by transmitter merges together the optical carrier (carrying various information) of two or more different wave lengths, thereby the same optical fiber that can be coupled in the system transmits; When arriving optical receiver, can go the optical carrier of various wavelength is separated by a light wave demodulation multiplexer, then the optical carrier of various wavelength is handled.Therefore,, have good reconstruct and autgmentability, become the developing direction of high speed transmission network at present based on the optical transport network of WDM technology.According to the difference of channel spacing, WDM can be divided into CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexer) and DWDM (dense wave division multipurpose), and wherein the channel spacing of CWDM is 20nm, and the channel spacing of DWDM is from 0.2nm to 1.2nm.Because the channel spacing broad of CWDM, light wave that can only multiplexing 5 to 6 wavelength around on same optical fiber, but the DWDM technology can be multiplexing nearly 80 different wave lengths or data channel become an optical data stream and on simple optical fiber, transmit, so the DWDM technology extensively is disposed in service supplier's the backbone network.
According to the suggestion of ITU-T, the standard wave length of dwdm system is spaced apart the integral multiple of 0.4nm (50GHz) or 0.8nm (100GHz).For the 100GHz channel spacing, optical module requires its light source that adopts to have stable operation wavelength and low characteristics such as warble, therefore, the DFB(DistributedFeedBack of refrigeration, the distributed feed-back type) or DBR(DOSBOOTRECORD, dos boot record) semiconductor laser, perhaps the monolithic of Zhi Leng dfb semiconductor laser and electroabsorption modulator is integrated is preferred option, these schemes all are to reach the wavelength channel of wanting by thermal tuning, guarantee that by control and the temperature of keeping laser operation wavelength does not have big drift during the whole working life of device then, thereby avoid the optical crosstalk of DWDM interchannel.Yet for the 50GHz channel spacing, it is not enough only depending on the temperature of keeping laser, its reason is that the temperature and the wavelength of semiconductor laser exists a temperature coefficient, this temperature coefficient approximately is 0.08nm-0.1nm/ ° of C, also can wear out as the thermistor that is used for temperature Control and Feedback benchmark along with the time, and the variation of the interior temperature gradient of laser shell, thereby cause the inaccurate of operation wavelength, be difficult to keep the requirement of 50GHz channel spacing, cause the DWDM interchannel optical crosstalk to occur.Therefore, the semiconductor laser that is used for the 50GHz channel spacing in the prior art, usually need a built-in wavelength locker to go to calibrate constantly and lock operation wavelength as benchmark, but can cause the increase of laser shell size and the increase of cost like this, thereby can't be applied to require among the optical module of hot plug.
Yet, be used for the EML laser assembly of the refrigeration of DWDMXFP optical module at present, can only guarantee at beginning of lifetime+/-wavelength stability of 40pm, and+/-wavelength stability in 100pm late period in life-span; But for the interval of 50GHz channel, then optical module need satisfy+/-wavelength stability of 20pm beginning of lifetime, and+/-wavelength stability in 50pm late period in life-span.Therefore, current commercially available refrigeration EML laser assembly can only be applied to 100GHz channel spacing DWDMXFP optical module, and can not reach the requirement of 50GHz channel spacing DWDMXFP optical module.
