Description

Utilize the apparatus and method of demodulator locks optical signal frequency in the DPSK system
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical communication field, (Differential Phase Shift Keying DPSK) utilizes the apparatus and method of demodulator locks optical signal frequency in the system to relate in particular to differential phase keying (DPSK) in the WDM.
Background technology
New type of modulation sign indicating number type based on the phase modulated principle is more superior than traditional sign indicating number type based on intensity modulated, has obtained extensive studies and application at present in high speed, long haul optical transmission.Phase modulation technique is realized the reception of signal by coherent demodulation and two kinds of methods of direct probe method (also claiming from coherent demodulation).Wherein, coherent demodulation realizes complicated, and direct probe method is simple relatively.Direct probe method at first utilizes delay interferometer, and (Delay-Interferometer DI) as demodulator (Demodulator), and then utilizes balanced reciver to realize the recovery of signal, sees Fig. 1.The direct probe method phase modulation format comprises DPSK modulation format, difference quadrature phase shift keying (Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, DQPSK) modulation format.
The frequency drift of laser to the systematic function influence significantly in the DPSK system.Article " Optical Phase-Shift-Keyed Transmission " (JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVETECHNOLOGY with reference to A.H.Gnauck, VOL.23, NO.1, JANUARY 2005), see Fig. 2, when the frequency drift 5% of laser, (Optical Signal to Noise Ratio, OSNR) cost is 2dB to the Optical Signal To Noise Ratio of system.Wavelength-division multiplex system with 40G DPSK is an example, if laser frequency drift 2GHz, the OSNR tolerance limit of system is with deterioration 2dB so.If the wavelength-division multiplex system of 10G DPSK, then laser frequency allows drift 200MHz.And the patient frequency drift of the wavelength-division multiplex system of DQPSK is littler.Even laser possesses the wavelength locking function, also between 1.5 ~ 3GHz, this is that institute of DPSK system is flagrant to its frequency maximum drift.And the demodulator wavelength also has temperature dependency, needs temperature control equally.When WDM beginning, also need to adjust the demodulator locks optical signal frequency.
As shown in Figure 3, from inserting on the loss spectra angle, demodulator is the optical filter of one-period, peak and Gu Caineng that signal frequency only works in optical filter reach optimum, we can say: in the channel wavelength scope, interfere the mutually long-armed band pass filter that is equivalent to, and interfere the arm that disappears mutually to be equivalent to band stop filter.Because the variation of the aging and ambient temperature of device, signal frequency is drifted about inevitably, and the filter wavelength of demodulator also might be drifted about.If the filter wavelength of demodulator is coincide all the time, so just the system injury that can avoid signal frequency drift to cause with signal frequency.
The wavelength of optical filter can be adjusted by temperature control, how to utilize the wavelength of adjusting demodulator to come the locking signal light frequency so people begin one's study.The article of E.A.Swanson " High sensitivityoptically preamplified direct detection DPSK receiver with activedelay-line stabilization " (IEEE Photon.Technol.Lett., vol.6, pp.263-265,1994.) tentatively solved this problem, it utilizes the electric current of one of them receiver of balanced reciver to adjust demodulator as feedback signal, thereby realizes the demodulator locks signal frequency.But, the input optical power of signal is variable, and especially on engineering, the electric current of balanced reciver also can change like this, and the distribution of signal 1 and signal 0 is relevant in the variation of electric current and the input signal sequence, adjusts mode so must seek more effective demodulator.
Chinese patent CN200710143877.6 " DPSK light modulation signal receiving device and method " has wherein also proposed a kind of method of how controlling demodulator, and with reference to figure 4, specifically, " peak detector is used to detect the peak value of the signal of telecommunication that is exaggerated; The time-delay control module is connected between optical fiber decoder and the peak detector, when peak detector detects peak value less than the signal of telecommunication that is amplified by limiting amplifier, and the time of delay of time-delay control module control optical fiber decoder ".This is that the electrical signal amplitude peak value is adjusted demodulator after utilizing opto-electronic conversion.
But the electric current of two detectors of balanced reciver is not changeless, can change with the variation of input optical power, and it is relevant with the pattern of input signal, as shown in the table, be the result of emulation, the luminous power of input signal remains unchanged, input signal is a pseudo random sequence, and the probability of signal 1 is 0.5, the each result of the electric current of two detectors (IPD1 and IPD2) is different in 10 emulation, and the electric current of also observing two detectors in experiment changes in time.
