Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method and apparatus for a nonlinear optical transmission system,

The present invention relates to a method for estimating the optical signal-to-noise ratio of a polarization division multiplexed signal, and more particularly to a coherent-based long-haul optical transmission system in which optical fiber nonlinearity exists and corrects the influence of optical fiber non- And more particularly,

Polarization-division-multiplexed signal (PDM signal) and digital coherent reception technology have become key technologies for high-speed and long-distance optical transmission systems. It is very important to monitor optical signal-to-noise ratios to efficiently operate and manage long-haul optical transmission networks where these technologies are used. This is because the optical signal-to-noise ratio can be used not only for estimating the bit-error rate (BER) of an optical signal but also for optimizing a digital signal processing algorithm in a coherent receiver.

Recently, various optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation methods have been proposed for coherent-based optical communication systems [1-7]. In order to estimate the optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), this method uses an error vector magnitude or a statistical average value of the amplitude noise to estimate the change of the received signal due to ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) . However, since signal distortion due to optical fiber nonlinearity at the receiving end is not different from ASE noise, the optical signal-to-noise ratio is estimated to be lower than the actual value when this method is applied to a long-haul optical transmission system operating in a region having nonlinearity .

In order to solve this problem, a method of estimating the optical signal-to-noise ratio more accurately at the receiver has been reported by using the characteristic that the fiber nonlinearity generates the correlation between the amplitudes of adjacent symbols [4]. However, since the correction parameters for the optical fiber nonlinearity used in the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method vary depending on the environment of the system such as the transmission distance or the number of wavelength division multiplexed signals, it is difficult to be utilized in a modern optical transmission network, .

Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for estimating optical signal-to-noise ratio for a nonlinear optical transmission system according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a system configuration including an optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation apparatus for a nonlinear optical transmission system according to the present invention. The optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation apparatus includes a coherent receiver 10 for receiving an optical signal and a coherent receiver And a digital signal processor 20 for signal processing the electrical output signal of the microprocessor 10.

The coherent receiver 10 includes an electric field detector 11 for detecting an electric field of an optical signal using a local oscillator laser, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADCs) And a signal conversion unit 12 for converting the signal to a signal.

The digital signal processor 20 includes a resampler 21 for converting a signal converted into a digital electrical signal by the signal converter 12 into an input signal and normalizing and resampling the input signal, a FIR- a chromatic dispersion compensator 22 for compensating accumulated chromatic dispersion using a finite impulse response filter, and a demultiplexer 23 for demultiplexing the polarized light.

The correlation function (R eff ) between the adjacent symbols is used to correct the power of the signal distortion due to the optical fiber non-linearity in the SNDR.

The optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method using the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation apparatus according to the present invention will now be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an overall optical signal to noise ratio estimation method according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the coherent receiving unit 10 receives a polarization division multiplexed optical signal by a coherent reception method (S20) of calculating a ratio (SNDR) of the power of the signal to the power of distortion due to noise and nonlinearity by polarization demultiplexing the received electrical output signal using the digital signal processor (S10) and the digital signal processor do.

3, the step S11 of detecting the electric field of the optical signal using the local oscillator laser and the signal conversion unit 12 are used to detect the analog electric A step S12 of converting a signal into a digital signal is performed.

4, the step S21 of normalizing and resampling the electrical output signal using the resampler 21 as shown in FIG. 4 may be performed by using the chromatic dispersion compensator 22, (S22) of compensating the cumulative chromatic dispersion of the normalized and resampled signal, demultiplexing (S23) polarized light of the polarized signal with chromatic dispersion compensated using the demultiplexer (23) (S24) of estimating the ratio of the power of the signal to the distortion power due to the noise and non-linearity using the polarization demultiplexed signal using the signal 24,

As shown in FIG. 5, the step S24 may include estimating a carrier phase of a polarization demultiplexed signal (S241) and calculating a size of an error vector in an output signal on which the carrier phase is estimated (S242 ).

After the step S24, the correlation function calculating section 25 calculates the correlation function R eff ( k) between adjacent symbols to correct the power of the distortion due to the optical fiber non-linearity in the ratio of the power of distortion due to noise and non- (Step S25).

The details of the SNDR estimation of S24 and the calculation of the correlation function R eff between the adjacent symbols in step S25 are described in detail in the SNDR estimator 24 and the correlation function calculator 25 , It is omitted for the sake of convenience.

FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the amplitude correlation functions R intra (m) and R inter (m) measured after transmitting the 112-Gb / s PDM-QPSK signal through a single mode optical fiber without optical dispersion compensation It can be seen that when there is optical fiber nonlinearity, a negative correlation occurs between adjacent symbols.

In the case of R intra (m), the correlation was greatest when m was 1, and the correlation was greatest when m was 0 in R inter (m). As shown in FIG. 2, since R intra (m) and R inter (m) converge to zero rapidly as m increases, R intra (1) and R inter (0) are used to estimate P NID .

FIG. 7 is a graph showing R intra (1) and R inter (0) measured after transmitting a 112-Gb / s PDM-QPSK signal through a single mode optical fiber 1600 km while changing channel power. From this result, it can be seen that R intra (1) is more sensitive to the change of channel power than R inter (0) in the case of a single channel system in which only intra-channel nonlinearity exists.

Between the channel non-linearity (inter-channel nonlinearity) is dominant in the 50 GHz channel spacing to take into account the system of 3 after the optical power of the central channel low enough set to -5 dBm in the channel system of the central channel intra R (1 ) And R inter (0) were measured. In this case, it can be seen that the inter R (0) is therefore more sensitive to changes in intra-channel power than R (1), inter R (0) is more effective to estimate the nonlinear Effects of between channels. Therefore, it is effective to define the parameter R eff for nonlinearity in the channel and the degree of distortion of the signal due to nonlinearity between channels using Equation 3 using both R inter (0) and R intra (1).

Simulation was performed to investigate the relationship between R eff and P NID . A 112-Gb / s PDM-QPSK signal with a channel spacing of 50 GHz was generated using an optical transmitter. The channel power was varied in the range of -4 to 4 dBm. The optical transmission network consists of a single-mode optical fiber with a section length of 80 or 100 km and without dispersion compensation. The loss and nonlinear parameters of the optical fiber were set to 0.2 dB / km, 17 ps / nm / km, and 1.3 W -1 km -1 , respectively. The optical loss of each section was compensated by using an optical fiber amplifier, and the optical signal to noise ratio was varied in the range of 10 to 24 dB by inserting an optical attenuator in front of the optical fiber amplifier. At the receiving end, the center channel is separated by using the wavelength division demultiplexer, and then the reception and the digital signal processing are performed using the coherent receiving unit. First, the detected signal is normalized and resampled, the chromatic dispersion is compensated using an FIR filter, and then polarization demultiplexing is performed using a CMA-based equalizer.

8 shows the relationship between power (P NID / P ch ) of signal distortion due to normalized non-linearity and R eff . In the embodiment of the present invention, the weighting factor? Of Equation (3) is set to 0.85. As shown in FIG. 8, the relationship between P NID / P ch and R eff is correctly expressed by one quadratic polynomial regardless of the transmission distance, the number of channels, the distance, and the channel power. Therefore, it can be seen that R eff can be used as an accurate measure to estimate P NID .

9 is a graph illustrating an RMS error of an optical signal-to-noise ratio estimated using the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method for a nonlinear optical transmission system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The RMS error of the estimated optical signal-to-noise ratio is shown in Figs. 9 (a), 9 (b), and 9 (c) according to the number of channels, transmission distance and section length. Here, the estimated optical signal-to-noise ratio is expressed by Equation (6).

Figure 112015044352301-pat00007

Where B ref is the reference noise bandwidth, typically 0.1 nm, and R s is the symbol rate. Α 1 and α 2 are the first order and second order coefficients of P NID / P ch , respectively, approximated by a quadratic polynomial for R eff . In the embodiment of the present invention,? 1 and? 2 are set to -10.5 and 563, respectively.

Also, the results obtained by using a conventional statistical moment-based estimation method for comparison are shown together with a dotted line in FIG. Compared with the conventional statistical moment based estimation method, it can be seen that the estimation accuracy is much better when the optical signal to noise ratio estimation method for the nonlinear optical transmission system according to the present invention is used. For example, when the conventional method is used, the maximum value of the estimation error according to the number of channels, transmission distance, and section length is 4.7, 7.8, and 4.1 dB, respectively. dB.

In order to evaluate the effect of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation performance for the nonlinear optical transmission system according to the present invention, the wavelength division multiplexed three-channel 112-Gb / s PDM- The average error of optical signal to noise ratio estimation was measured after transmitting 1600 km through optical fiber with differential group delay (DGD) value. At this time, the channel power was set to 2 dBm. The results are shown in Fig. As the DGD increases, the estimated optical signal-to-noise ratio value decreases gradually. This is because R inter (0) decreases when there is a polarization mode dispersion. Nevertheless, even when the DGD is as large as 20 ps, the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation error remains within 1 dB.

As described above, when the optical signal to noise ratio estimation method for nonlinear optical transmission systems according to the present invention is applied, even when the optical signal is affected by the optical fiber nonlinearity, the transmission distance, the number of wavelength division multiplexed channels, The optical signal-to-noise ratio can be estimated with high accuracy without prior knowledge of the length.

Further, the effect of estimating the degree of signal distortion due to optical fiber nonlinearity can be obtained.

In applying the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method according to the present invention, the step of estimating the SNDR may include a step of performing a carrier phase estimation on the polarization demultiplexed signal and then calculating an error vector magnitude Can be substituted for the step of calculating In this case, the amplitude correlation function for estimating the power of signal distortion due to optical fiber nonlinearity can be replaced with a correlation function of amplitude noise between adjacent symbols of the signal to which the carrier phase estimation process is applied.

Further, in applying the optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation method according to the present invention, the modulation method of the optical signal is not limited to the PDM-QPSK signal, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that the optical signal- It can be applied to an optical signal using a polarization division multiplexed modulation scheme such as a PDM m-ary PSK or a PDM m-QAM by using the estimation method, so that detailed description will be omitted.

However, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various optical signal-to-noise ratio estimation methods and apparatuses can be implemented in a range that does not depart from the technical idea of the present invention.
