The embodiment of the present invention is detected by the frequency deviation to laser, and carry out the rectification of corresponding frequency shift (FS), eliminate thus the impact that the frequency drift of the laser of laser output is brought, can reduce the requirement of communication system to bandwidth, and improve the performance of Coherent optical time domain reflectometer system.
The method flow diagram that a kind of dynamic frequency offset that Fig. 1 a is depicted as one embodiment of the invention to be provided is corrected comprises:
Step 11, the laser that laser is exported carry out light-splitting processing, generate and survey light and control light.
In the present embodiment, by an optical splitter, as coupler, laser is carried out to light-splitting processing, generate and survey light and control light.The power of surveying light carries out fault location and detection for generation of detecting optical pulses to link fiber, and its power should be much larger than the power of controlling light, and optional, surveying light can be 99: 1 shown in figure with the ratio of controlling light.
Step 12, described control light is input in Mach-Zehnder interferometer MZI and is interfered, the control light after being interfered;
Step 13, the control light after described interference is carried out to opto-electronic conversion, obtain first signal of telecommunication;
Step 14, be controlled at the optical path difference of the light signal transmitted on two arms of described MZI according to described first signal of telecommunication, make 1/4th of wavelength that described optical path difference is described laser;
In the present embodiment, use Mach Zehnder interferometer MZI to be interfered controlling light, the control light after being interfered, then carry out opto-electronic conversion to the control light after this interference, obtains first signal of telecommunication.Because the watt level of this first signal of telecommunication can reflect the optical path difference (optical path difference of the light signal also transmitted on two arms) of two arms in MZI, therefore can adjust according to this first signal of telecommunication the optical path difference of MZI two arms, making optical path difference is 1/4th of this laser, revises the impact that the extraneous factors such as temperature and vibration are surveyed MZI with this.MZI can pass through to adjust the dilatability of piezoelectric ceramic to adjust the optical path difference of MZI two arms.When the optical path difference of MZI two arms is just in time that four of optical maser wavelength/for the moment, the output of described MZI is in linear output area, the drift degree of the centre frequency of the laser of the light intensity of output and laser output is proportional.
Step 15, according to described first signal of telecommunication, calculate the degree of deviation of the practical center frequency of described laser with respect to the standard value of the centre frequency of described laser.
Step 16, according to the described degree of deviation, compensate accordingly, the practical center frequency of the baseband signal that makes the light signal of returning from downlink transmission obtain after receiving converges on the standard value of the centre frequency of described baseband signal.
After obtaining the degree of deviation of practical center frequency with respect to the standard value of laser center frequency of laser, the practical center frequency of the baseband signal that the light signal that can take following two kinds of modes to make to return the Coherent optical time domain reflectometer system from downlink transmission obtains after receiving converges on the standard value of the centre frequency of this baseband signal, to eliminate the impact that central frequency deviation was brought due to the laser of laser output.
Mode one: the light signal from down link that described detection light and described Coherent optical time domain reflectometer system the are received processing that is concerned with, the relevant light signal obtained of processing is carried out to opto-electronic conversion, obtain second signal of telecommunication; According to the described degree of deviation, control for described second signal of telecommunication, carrying out the frequency that mixing obtains the electric local oscillation signal of described baseband signal, make the practical center frequency of described baseband signal converge on the standard value of the centre frequency of described baseband signal.
Mode two: when described detection light being modulated to the generation detecting optical pulses, control the output frequency of the modulation source for carrying out described modulation according to the described degree of deviation, make the centre frequency convergence domain of described detecting optical pulses in the standard value of the centre frequency of described laser.
In the present embodiment, can will survey light by an optical splitter and be divided, and the part that marks off be surveyed to light and output to coherent receiver, by coherent receiver, to the light signal that transmission is returned from the down link processing that is concerned with, obtain second signal of telecommunication; Described electric local oscillation signal and described second signal of telecommunication are carried out to mixing, obtain baseband signal; Then according to the degree of deviation, control for described second signal of telecommunication, carrying out the frequency that mixing obtains the electric local oscillation signal of described baseband signal, make the practical center frequency of described baseband signal converge on the standard value of the centre frequency of described baseband signal.
