Description

Be used to measure the method and apparatus of polarization mode dispersion vector
[technical field]
The present invention relates to the test of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) vector of optical fibre device or system, clear and definite says, relates to a kind of method and apparatus that is used to measure polarization mode dispersion vector.
[background technology]
Apart from development of Photonic Network, Fiber Optical Communication System becomes and becomes increasingly complex and used a large amount of devices and equipment along with long.Therefore, the characteristic of measuring optical fiber device and equipment (DUT) becomes more and more important quickly and accurately.
This system mainly contains two big class features: the relevant and polarization irrelevant characteristic of polarization.Polarization dependent behavior comprises Polarization Dependent Loss or gain (PDL/G), birefringence and go inclined to one side effect.The polarization irrelevant characteristic comprises chromatic dispersion, scattering, loss etc.Along with Fiber Optical Communication System towards at a high speed, the fast development of wide bandwidth direction, increasing by the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) that birefringence causes to the influence of system.Especially to moving towards now the system of the 40Gbit/s on foreground gradually, this influence is mainly reflected in pulse strenching, thus signal skew and system signal noise ratio is produced influence at random cause system tolerance to descend.Therefore, the PMD and the compensation of the PMD in the Fiber Optical Communication System of accurately measuring fast control device and instrument when producing of PMD all have important meaning.
The research of PMD starts from the relevant wide communication system seventies in last century the locking to output polarization attitude (SOP).In 1986, C.D.Poole and R.E.Wagner have proposed principal state of polarization (psp) (PSP) thereby model is described the model that PMD has been drawn in the evolution of polarization state in optical fiber.They so proposed to measure the method for polarization mode dispersion vector with main attitude in 1988, but this method only is applicable to the system that does not have Polarization Dependent Loss.In addition, poincare sphere (Poincar é sphere) method, (Mueller Matrix Method MMM) also only is suitable for and treats that examining system does not have the situation of Polarization Dependent Loss the mueller matrix method.
When treating that examining system contains Polarization Dependent Loss or when gain, the PMD vector more complicated that becomes mainly contains two class methods and measures: based on the method for difference with based on the method for transmission matrix.First kind method comprises complex plane method (Complex Plane Method) and expansion poincare sphere method (GeneralizedPoincar é Sphere Method).This class methods measurement result signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is poor.Second class comprise the Jones matrix eigenvalue Method (Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis, JME), expansion mueller matrix method (Generalized Mueller Matrix Method, GMMM) etc.JME has higher signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), become the reference test method that PMD measures, but its measurement result only is the size of PMD vector, promptly Differential Group Delay (Differential Group Delay, DGD).Expansion mueller matrix method is expanded the measurement of traditional mueller matrix method PMD vector, makes it be applicable to the situation that has Polarization Dependent Loss.The signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of this class methods measurement result is higher.
In actual measurement, above-mentioned two class methods require to carry out length scanning and obtain the pairing output of several specific input SOP SOP under each wavelength.When measuring, can adopt dual mode:
First kind is that the input SOP that sets an appointment earlier carries out length scanning again, and then specifies another required SOP and carry out length scanning.Repeat similar measurement up to the length scanning of finishing under all SOP.This metering system can obtain SOP under different wave length consistance but the repeatability of tunable light source wavelength regulation is proposed very high requirement.Thereby the wavelength regulation error of light source can cause the rotation of output SOP and cause the measurement result mistake, particularly under the bigger situation of PMD.The optical source wavelength regulating error comprises absolute wavelength sum of errors wavelength repeatability error.The absolute wavelength error is meant the maximum differential between light source setting wavelength and the actual output wavelength.This can cause that thereby the error of wavelength regulation step-length influences the PMD measurement result.By in measurement, addressing this problem with wavemeter surveying work wavelength.Wavelength repeatability is meant the uncertain at random error of introducing in different wave length setting and the adjusting.Because randomness, the error of being introduced is difficult to overcome.In addition, because optical source wavelength governing speed slow usually (the hundreds of millisecond is to several second-times), so the easier environmental impact that is subjected to of this mode.Because aforesaid first kind measuring method need be to the calculus of differences of wavelength, this just needs wavelength regulation very accurate, thereby this mode is very big to the influence of the precision of first kind measuring method.
The second way is to set wavelength earlier, adjusts SOP then.Because only need the single pass wavelength, thereby can avoid the wavelength repeatability error.But measurement requirement has one group of identical input SOP under different wavelength, and this measures the detection adjustment process up to being adjusted to required SOP with regard to needing to use Polarization Controller (PC) to regulate input SOP and be used in the linear polarization analyser.Because it is inconsistent under different wave length that the measuring error of SOP can cause importing SOP, finally also can increase the error that PMD measures.Certainly, use the polarization state generator on the market to replace PC and polarization analysis instrument.Though measuring speed can improve, the inconsistent of SOP still can not avoid.
Other some PMD measuring methods such as fixed analysis process (FA), conventional interference method (TINTY) and expansion interferometric method (GINTY) be because of can not providing the PMD vector, thereby be difficult to the requirement that is applicable to that PMD compensates.

Please refer to Fig. 1, it is as follows that the present invention is used to measure the basic procedure of method of polarization mode dispersion vector:
Steps A, make specified wavelength light respectively according to three kinds of input polarizations by device under test, three kinds of input polarizations satisfy linear independence;
Step B, respectively measuring light is by three kinds of output polarization attitudes behind the device under test, and three kinds of input polarizations and three kinds of output polarization attitudes are recorded as the batch total certificate that counts;

In the context, the polarization state when term " input polarization " refers to that light enters device under test, term " output polarization attitude " refers to the polarization state of light when device under test is exported.
The method according to this invention, 3 required input polarizations of same specified wavelength only need satisfy mutual linear independence, promptly 3 polarization states on poincare sphere any two all not parallel.Therefore can make light source produce 3 polarization states at random.If 3 polarization state differences are little, then the probability of measuring error increase can be bigger.In order to obtain optimum measurement result, can be pointed in the method for measuring mueller matrix according to people such as Dong Hui, adopt 3 polarization states in the Stokes space, being three Stokes vector of 120 degree angles in twos.As shown in Figure 3, Stokes vector

With
Figure G2008102421512D00062
Starting point at the centre of sphere of poincare sphere, terminal point is on a circumference, 3 vectors are positioned at same plane.
In actual measurement, can specify one group of Stokes vector in advance, for example (100) T, - 1 / 2 3 / 2 0 T With - 1 / 2 - 3 / 2 0 T , Find 3 groups of corresponding Polarization Controller magnitudes of voltage, as the calibration of Polarization Controller.
Because it is very little to the Polarization Dependent Loss and the polarization mode dispersion of this section of polarization analysis instrument light path from light source, can think and have only birefringent influence, is identical for the anglec of rotation of different polarization states on poincare sphere with direction and only contain birefringent system, therefore, in measuring process, though can change because of environmental impact even enter 3 polarization states of Polarization Controller, what cause Polarization Controller output is not above-mentioned 3 polarization states, but 3 polarization states of output still keep 120 degree angle relations, so still can reach the effect that reduces measuring error.
After measurement is finished, can calculate the system transmissions mueller matrix under different wave length according to the method that people such as Dong Hui proposed in 2007, thus the PMD vector

With
Figure G2008102421512D00067
Can also be able to calculate except that Differential Group Delay (differential group delay, DGD) and the differential attenuation rate (differential attenuation slope, DAS).
On the one hand, the method that the present invention adopts has only been carried out the primary reflection long scan, thereby has avoided the wavelength repeatability error, and on the other hand, the present invention does not require the consistance of the input SOP under different wave length, thereby has avoided the inconsistent measuring error of bringing of SOP.Therefore, the present invention has avoided the shortcoming of different measuring mode in the measuring method in the past, thereby makes the measuring accuracy to be improved, and noise obtains restraining.
Because the present invention measured the system transmissions mueller matrix the different wave length under, system under respective wavelength birefringence and Polarization Dependent Loss or gain and also can measure simultaneously.

Typically, Polarization Controller 12 adopts the automatically controlled Polarization Controller of being made by electro-optic crystal.This type of Polarization Controller is undertaken by applying voltage control signal the adjusting of polarization state.Under this situation, polarization state after the adjusting is relevant with the birefringence that is input to optical fiber pigtail Polarization Controller and Polarization Controller, voltage control signal and output polarization attitude do not have one-to-one relationship, therefore, by the polarization state of online polarization analysis instrument 13 measurement in real time after Polarization Controller 12 effects, through the voltage control signal of feedback adjusting Polarization Controller, thereby obtain the required input polarization state.
In the said process, computing machine 16 each devices of control are according to Measurement Algorithm collaborative work of the present invention.After 3 groups of input and output measuring polarization states under the specified wavelength are finished, make light source 11 adjust to next specified wavelength and repeat the measurement of 3 groups of input and output polarization states.After the data of all specified wavelengths were surveyed, computing machine 16 was according to the mueller matrix under each wavelength of data computation that record, and then calculated the polarization mode dispersion vector of device under test or system 14.
