Description
本發明係有關一種網路系統,特別是關於一種被動式光網路系統。The present invention relates to a network system, and more particularly to a passive optical network system.
隨著網路使用者的增加,資料傳輸量也隨著增加。傳統使用電信號來進行通訊的技術,因為電信號之頻寬限制,將使得網路產生擁塞(congestion)的現象。因此,許多的網路服務提供者便使用光纖通訊來提供網路服務給各種不同需求的網路使用者。As the number of Internet users increases, so does the amount of data transfer. The traditional technology of using electrical signals for communication, because of the bandwidth limitation of electrical signals, will cause congestion in the network. As a result, many Internet service providers use fiber-optic communications to provide network services to a variety of Internet users with different needs.
第1圖、第2圖與第3圖分別是分時多工被動式光網路(TDM-PON)、分波多工被動式光網路(WDM-PON)、分波多工兼分時多工被動式光網路(WDM-TDM-PON)的基本架構。TDM-PON是一個透過時間分配,讓光線端(OLT,optical line termination)10在不同時間與不同用戶傳遞資料的網路。在遠端(Remote Node,RN)透過一個分光器(Power splitter)12將資料分給每個用戶。WDM-PON架構下,不同用戶與OLT 14透過不同波長傳遞資料,在遠端(Remote Node,RN)則利用一個陣列式光柵(Arrayed waveguide grating,AWG)16將不同波長的光信號分出來分給不同用戶。由於單一波長可以載的資料量非常大,因此WDM-PON架構中,每個光網路單元(ONU,optical network unit)18的傳輸速度可以有效增加。而對於可能存在ONU需要的速度較小或成本分攤的情形,WDM-TDM-PON便被提出用,以更加有效地整合與利用光網路。WDM-TDM-PON顧名思義是 WDM-PON和TDM-PON兩種光網路的混合架構。WDM-TDM-PON汲取了TDM-PON和WDM-PON兩種架構的特性,在WDM-PON的陣列式光柵20後再加上一個光耦合器(Optical Coupler)22將下傳光信號以廣播(Broadcast)的方式傳給同一波長的所有用戶,而不同用戶則依據其被分配到的使用時段,接收或上傳資料。Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 are time-division multiplex passive optical network (TDM-PON), split-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON), split-wave multiplexing and time-multiplexed passive light The basic architecture of the network (WDM-TDM-PON). TDM-PON is a network that transmits time and time, allowing OLT (optical line termination) 10 to transmit data to different users at different times. The remote node (RN) distributes the data to each user through a Power Splitter 12. In the WDM-PON architecture, different users and the OLT 14 transmit data through different wavelengths, and the remote node (RN) uses an Arrayed Waveguide (AWG) 16 to distribute the optical signals of different wavelengths. Different users. Since the amount of data that can be carried by a single wavelength is very large, the transmission speed of each optical network unit (ONU) 18 can be effectively increased in the WDM-PON architecture. WDM-TDM-PON is proposed for more efficient integration and utilization of optical networks for situations where there may be less speed or cost sharing required by ONUs. WDM-TDM-PON is as its name suggests A hybrid architecture of two optical networks, WDM-PON and TDM-PON. WDM-TDM-PON captures the characteristics of both TDM-PON and WDM-PON architectures. An optical coupler 22 is added to the WDM-PON array grating 20 to transmit the optical signal to broadcast ( The broadcast method is transmitted to all users of the same wavelength, and different users receive or upload data according to the usage period to which they are assigned.
由於純TDM技術已逐漸無法滿足使用者高速需求,但現實上若要將整個架構由TDM-PON轉成WDM-PON,則整個網路翻修的成本會非常的昂貴,故提出第4圖之時間分波多工被動式光網路(TWDM-PON),其中光線端24與複數個光網路單元26相互傳輸數個不同波長訊號λ1 ...λ8 ,相較WDM-TDM-PON,提升了傳輸速度。然而,TWDM-PON在網路擴充度及分流數卻無法滿足未來的網路頻寬需求。Since pure TDM technology has gradually failed to meet the high-speed needs of users, in reality, if the entire architecture is to be converted from TDM-PON to WDM-PON, the cost of the entire network renovation will be very expensive, so the time of Figure 4 is proposed. A multiplexed passive optical network (TWDM-PON) in which a light end 24 and a plurality of optical network units 26 transmit a plurality of different wavelength signals λ 1 ... λ 8 , which is improved compared to WDM-TDM-PON. transfer speed. However, TWDM-PON does not meet the network bandwidth requirements in the future due to network scalability and number of shunts.
因此,本發明係在針對上述之困擾,提出一種被動式光網路系統,以解決習知所產生的問題。Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a passive optical network system is proposed to solve the problems caused by the prior art.

本發明具有非常好的擴充性,當第一訊號接收端的速度想要提升的時候,不需要改變光分佈網路(ODN),只需要增加第一訊號接收端接收的波長數目即可。只要增加更多個光纖布拉格光柵,便可實現接收多個頻段的需求,以達到提升用戶數、增加速度及不改變網路架構之目標。而增加光纖布拉格光柵的方法只是針對特定訊號接收端的元件插拔,幾乎沒有成本考量,因此具有高經濟性。The invention has very good expandability. When the speed of the first signal receiving end is to be improved, there is no need to change the optical distribution network (ODN), and only the number of wavelengths received by the first signal receiving end needs to be increased. As long as more fiber Bragg gratings are added, the need to receive multiple frequency bands can be achieved to achieve the goal of increasing the number of users, increasing the speed, and not changing the network architecture. The method of adding the fiber Bragg grating is only for the component insertion and removal of a specific signal receiving end, and has almost no cost consideration, so it has high economy.
由上述六個實施例可知,相較時間分波多工被動式光網路(TWDM-PON),本發明係於TWDM-PON之後端新建分波多工被動式光網路(WDM-PON),以增加分流數(split ratio)。且增加網路中使用的波長數目亦可增加總體資料傳輸量。此外,第4圖為早期被提出的WDM-TDM-PON架構,它具有最緊緻的元件使用與網路簡單性。WDM-TDM-PON具有許多 其他架構無法取代的優點,基於每個架構的最大發展性,WDM-TDM-PON是未來非常可能發展的架構。若WDM-TDM-PON要成為未來網路架構的選擇,必然要先提供一個中介的網路架構以實現無縫整合的需求。本發明即適合扮演這種中介架構以達成無縫整合的需求。當本發明之第一訊號接收端隨著時間慢慢被汰換掉,則本發明之網路架構便可無縫地轉成WDM-PON或WDM-TDM-PON為基礎的網路架構。換言之,本發明無論是作為TWDM-PON擴充網路或是作為WDM-TDM-PON網路的中介媒介來看,它均十分的重要並具有高度經濟價值。It can be seen from the above six embodiments that the present invention is based on a time division multiplexed passive optical network (TWDM-PON), which is a new multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) at the rear end of the TWDM-PON to increase the shunt. Split ratio. Increasing the number of wavelengths used in the network can also increase the overall amount of data transferred. In addition, Figure 4 shows the early proposed WDM-TDM-PON architecture with the most compact component usage and network simplicity. WDM-TDM-PON has many The advantages that other architectures cannot replace, based on the maximum development of each architecture, WDM-TDM-PON is an architecture that is very likely to develop in the future. If WDM-TDM-PON is to become the choice of future network architecture, it is necessary to provide an intermediary network architecture to achieve seamless integration. The present invention is suitable for playing such an intermediary architecture to achieve a seamless integration. When the first signal receiving end of the present invention is slowly replaced over time, the network architecture of the present invention can be seamlessly converted into a WDM-PON or WDM-TDM-PON based network architecture. In other words, the present invention is very important and highly economical, both as a TWDM-PON expansion network or as an intermediary medium for WDM-TDM-PON networks.
第11(a)圖為下傳訊號實驗架構,雷射產生器144發射雷射,首先經由麥克森(Mach-Zehnder modulator)調變器146調變後經過光循環器147輸入40km光纖。在遠端訊號經光循環器148被放大器149放大後,會輸入一個18毫分貝(dBm)的衰減器150。18dBm是用來模擬64個分流數(split ratio),64分流數是TWDM架構中的基本要求。18dBm的衰減器150後,光訊號會分別通過第一光纖布拉格光柵152和第二光纖布拉格光柵154。在此為了考慮光纖布拉格光柵串接衰減的最壞情形,下傳訊號的波長可調成和第二光纖布拉格光柵154之波長相同。因此,下傳訊號會通過第一光纖布拉格光柵152並被第二光纖布拉格光柵154反彈。下傳訊號進入光循環器156並經過衰減器157被光偵測器158接收。第11(b)圖為上傳訊號實驗架構,雷射產生器160發射雷射,雷射直接由光循環器162輸出打入40km光纖。訊號經過光循環器163後,利用放大器164將光訊號放大,並採用一個18dBm的衰減器166以模擬64分流數。衰減器166之後光訊號一樣經過第一光纖布拉格光柵168、光循環器169和第二光纖布拉格光柵170。一樣為了考慮串接損耗的最壞情形,我們將上傳載子調成和第二光纖布拉格光柵170之波長相同。上傳載子被第二光纖布拉格光柵170反彈後依序進入光循環器169與光循環 器172打入反射式半導體光放大器174以上傳訊號進行調變,最終再打入一個衰減器176。此衰減器176一樣具18dBm的衰減量,主要是為了模擬光訊號在光耦合器之兩個方向的行進都會衰減一樣多的能量。上傳訊號經過放大器177、光纖與光循環器163後,回到光循環器162並進入可調光濾波器(optical tunable filter,OTF)178。在此光濾波器178是為了模擬OLT端的AWG通道,此OTF 178的波長和上傳訊號相同。經過OTF 178後光訊號經過衰減器179被光偵測器180接收。Figure 11(a) shows the experimental structure of the downlink signal. The laser generator 144 emits a laser, which is first modulated by a Mach-Zehnder modulator 146 and then input into a 40 km fiber through the optical circulator 147. After the far-end signal is amplified by the amplifier 149 via the optical circulator 148, an 18 millidB (dBm) attenuator 150 is input. 18 dBm is used to simulate 64 split ratios, and the 64-split number is in the TWDM architecture. Basic requirements. After the 18 dBm attenuator 150, the optical signals pass through the first fiber Bragg grating 152 and the second fiber Bragg grating 154, respectively. Here, in order to consider the worst case of the cascade attenuation of the fiber Bragg grating, the wavelength of the down signal can be adjusted to be the same as the wavelength of the second fiber Bragg grating 154. Therefore, the down signal will pass through the first fiber Bragg grating 152 and be bounced by the second fiber Bragg grating 154. The down signal enters the optical circulator 156 and is received by the photodetector 158 via the attenuator 157. Figure 11(b) shows the experimental structure of the upload signal. The laser generator 160 emits a laser, and the laser directly outputs the 40km optical fiber by the optical circulator 162. After the signal passes through the optical circulator 163, the optical signal is amplified by the amplifier 164, and an 18 dBm attenuator 166 is used to simulate the 64-split number. The attenuator 166 then passes through the first fiber Bragg grating 168, the optical circulator 169, and the second fiber Bragg grating 170 as well. Similarly, in order to consider the worst case of the series loss, we adjust the uploading carrier to the same wavelength as the second fiber Bragg grating 170. The uploading carrier is rebounded by the second fiber Bragg grating 170 and sequentially enters the optical circulator 169 and the light cycle The 172 is driven into the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 174 to perform an amplitude modulation signal, and finally an attenuator 176 is driven. The attenuator 176 has the same attenuation of 18 dBm, mainly for simulating the same amount of energy that the optical signal will attenuate in both directions of the optical coupler. After the upload signal passes through the amplifier 177, the optical fiber and the optical circulator 163, it returns to the optical circulator 162 and enters an optical tunable filter (OTF) 178. In this optical filter 178 is to simulate the AWG channel of the OLT end, the wavelength of the OTF 178 is the same as the upload signal. After the OTF 178, the optical signal is received by the photodetector 180 via the attenuator 179.
第12(a)圖與第12(b)圖分別為下傳訊號與上傳訊號之誤碼率分佈圖,其中菱形代表對接量測之數據,方形代表訊號傳輸40公里之數據。由此兩圖可知,下傳訊號與上傳訊號皆可以達到10-9 之位元誤碼率(BER),證明本發明之網路架構是可以實施的。Figures 12(a) and 12(b) show the error rate distribution of the downlink signal and the upload signal, respectively. The diamond represents the data of the docking measurement, and the square represents the data of 40 kilometers of the signal transmission. As can be seen from the two figures, both the downlink signal and the upload signal can achieve a bit error rate (BER) of 10 -9 , which proves that the network architecture of the present invention can be implemented.
綜上所述,本發明以低成本於第一訊號接收端後新建分波多工被動式光網路(WDM-PON),以提升分流數(split ratio)、傳輸速度與資料傳輸量,同時可輕易轉為WDM-TDM-PON,符合未來網路的需求。In summary, the present invention creates a new split-wave multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) at a low cost after the first signal receiving end, so as to improve the split ratio, the transmission speed and the data transmission amount, and at the same time, Switch to WDM-TDM-PON for future network needs.
