By the DPRA on each branch optical fiber of putting the multiple spot fiber optic network test signal reflection from the CO side is amplified, such as, test signal is carried out light-electrical-optical regeneration passback, thereby increase the reflectivity of separation, make the OTDR of CO side can detect the reflected signal at DPRA place easily.When using OTDR that optical fiber is tested, the ability of the reflected signal that OTDR can detect depends on the relative altitude of the relative backscatter signal of reflection event on the OTDR test curve, relative altitude is high more, easy more detection (identification) reflection event, relative altitude is mainly relevant by the intensity of the reflectivity of reflection event and backscatter signal, then the intensity to scattered signal is mainly determined by pulse duration in point-to-point fiber optic network, but in putting the PON network of multiple spot, because the backscatter signal of a plurality of branches can superpose, the intensity of backscatter signal is not only relevant with the test signal pulses width, also is inversely proportional to branches.Relative altitude can be with following formulate:
H = 5 × lg ( 1 T × 10 ( R - N × Bns ) / 10 + 1 ) Formula (1)
Wherein, H is the height of reflection peak, and unit is dB;
Bns is the backscattering coefficient of 1nS pulse duration, generally gets-80dB;
R is the reflectivity of reflection event, and unit is dB. (the general unsettled reflectivity of PC connector is about a 14dB);
N be branches (general N=1,2,4,8,16,32,64 ...);
T is pulse duration (ns).
Because the influence of factors such as noise, OTDR can only detect the reflection event (for example reflection event of the height>0.1dB of the relative back scattering incident of reflection event) above certain relative altitude, promptly require the H>=0.1dB in the following formula, the minimal reflection incident that can detect just is inversely proportional to pulse width T.During test, generally selected T.Under T one stable condition, can only the detection of reflected rate more than or equal to the reflection event of certain value (x dB), to the reflection event of reflectivity, can not detect less than x dB.If adopt the reflection event of band gain, method promptly provided by the invention promptly can improve the reflectivity at DPRA place, and reflectivity promptly makes OTDR can be easy to detect the reflection event at DPRA place after increasing, and reduces the performance requirement of OTDR.
At FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home, Fiber to the home) under the scene, be that ONU is deployed in user's family, connect the access terminal box (ATB of the branch optical fiber of optical splitter at user side, Access TerminalBox) is terminated (supply socket that the similar user of the box that accesses terminal is indoor), realizes being connected of terminal box and ONU by jumping fiber.This situation can be placed into DPRA in the box that accesses terminal.When the CO side was tested fibre circuit, if optical splitter is normal to the optical fiber of DPRA, then DPRA can amplify reflection or light-electrical-optical regeneration passback to the test light signal, strengthens the reflectivity of the connector of the box that accesses terminal; If optical splitter breaks down to the optical fiber of DPRA, for example ruptured, then the CO side can not receive the reflected light signal of the connector of the box that accesses terminal.When active maintenance judges that branch optical fiber breaks down or the user reports the barrier back to diagnose branch optical fiber to go wrong, can be by whether from the light signal of the reflection that detects DPRA of CO side, can judge, fault is at (between optical splitter and the DPRA) before the DPRA or after DPRA (box that accesses terminal is to ONU). because DPRA can be in the strong reflection of box-like pairwise testing signal that accesses terminal, can reduce the performance requirement of CO side test equipment, improve test performance.For example, when DPRA to test signal have 10 * lg32~=15dB when gain, then can offset under 1: 32 splitting ratio scene, 32 branch's backscatter signal superpose to the influence of reflected signal, can detect littler reflected signal or can not adopt high performance testing equipment can detect the reflection event with identical reflectivity.
Optionally, above-mentioned before receiving the test signal of office testing device transmission on the branch optical fiber of putting the multiple spot fiber optic network, said method can also comprise: receive control signal above-mentioned to the branch optical fiber of multiple spot fiber optic network; Open optical amplification function according to above-mentioned control signal.Above-mentioned according to behind the above-mentioned control signal unlatching optical amplification function, the test signal that can send the office testing device that receives in test period is carried out light amplification.Above-mentionedly to the branch optical fiber of multiple spot fiber optic network, receive control signal, can comprise: in the above-mentioned control signal of representing with pulse duration that receives that above-mentioned office testing device sends to the branch optical fiber of multiple spot fiber optic network above-mentioned; Perhaps above-mentioned receive that above-mentioned office testing device sends to the branch optical fiber of multiple spot fiber optic network with an independent control signal that wavelength is represented; Perhaps to the branch optical fiber of multiple spot fiber optic network, receive the control signal that network unit/optical network terminal sends above-mentioned.Describe in detail below in conjunction with instantiation:
As shown in Figure 4, be the specific implementation structure chart of a kind of DPRA of the embodiment of the invention, comprise first optical fiber interface 410 and second optical fiber interface 411, coupler 401 and reflection amplifier 402.When DPRA is placed in the box that accesses terminal, connect the port of first optical fiber interface 410 and optical splitter by branch optical fiber; In addition, second optical fiber interface 411 is terminated at the box that accesses terminal, and second optical fiber interface 4 youngsters can be connected with ONU by the optical fiber jumping fiber.Wherein, coupler 401 is used for the test light signal is separated from downstream signal, and the test light signal and the upstream data light signal of passback is coupled in the branch optical fiber, can use wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) to realize.By the centrifugation of coupler 401, in the downstream signal of first optical fiber interface, 410 outputs, the downlink data wavelength is admitted to different passages by demultiplexing respectively with the test wavelength.Wherein, the downlink data wavelength is sent to second optical fiber interface 411, and further by the ONU of user's Optical Fiber Transmission to correspondence.Test wavelength X 1 is separated the back through coupler 401 and is arrived reflection amplifier 402.
Reflection amplifier 402 is used for test signal is reflected amplification.In one embodiment, reflection amplifier 402 can comprise light separator 403, photoelectric conversion unit (o/e) 404, Optical Amplifier Unit 405 and control unit 406.Wherein, light separator 403 is assigned to photoelectric conversion unit 404 and injection locking light source 405 with the test signal that receives according to preset ratio.
Described photoelectric conversion unit 404 can adopt PD (Photodiode, photodetector), and it can detect input optical signal, and this light signal is converted to the corresponding signal of telecommunication and offers described control unit 406.
Described Optical Amplifier Unit 405 can be selected the injection locking light source, such as FP-LD (Fabry-Perot laser
The diode fabry-Perot type laser).After providing bias current for FP-LD, if input optical signal is arranged, then described FP-LD can the output wavelength light signal consistent with input optical signal, can control the intensity of the light signal of described FP-LD output by the bias current of control FP-LD, thereby realize the reflection that the light signal of importing carries out is in various degree amplified.Signal after the amplification is delivered to again in the optical fiber through light separator 403 and coupler 401, and tested Equipment Inspection is arrived, and is used for the state of detection line.Alternative, described Optical Amplifier Unit 405 also can be selected SOA (optical semiconductor is put) or other optical amplifier spares.
Control unit 406 is controlled the bias current of Optical Amplifier Unit 405 according to the signal of telecommunication of photoelectric conversion unit 404 outputs.In specific embodiment, described control unit 406 may further include two functional modules, wherein first functional module is used to detect the signal of telecommunication of photoelectric conversion unit 404 outputs, another functional module is used for the bias current of Optical Amplifier Unit is controlled, and for example controls the size of closing, open or control the bias current of FP-LD of the bias current of FP-LD according to the signal of telecommunication of photoelectric conversion unit 404 outputs.
Because the fibre circuit test is generally started by Event triggered (user reports barrier) or cycle, the time ratio that test needs is shorter, and most of the time DPRA is in idle condition.Need within a certain period of time could obtain test result through repeatedly testing, for example OTDR test generally obtains test curves through 10000 tests in 30S.When far supplying, need reduce the energy consumption of DPRA as much as possible, can realize by following testing process when DPRA employing powered battery or by light signal.
DPRA is operated in low-power consumption mode generally speaking, and the low-power consumption mode optical amplification function is not worked.In the time will testing circuit, the testing equipment of CO end such as OTDR, sends a control signal to DPRA, and this control signal triggers DPRA and carries out mode of operation from low-power consumption mode.In mode of operation, the control unit 406 in the reflection amplifier 402 begins control powers to Optical Amplifier Unit 405, makes Optical Amplifier Unit 405 begin to enter operating state.In working order, 406 pairs of test light signals of Optical Amplifier Unit reflect amplification.
In specific embodiment, such as, OTDR sends a control signal, and this control signal is coupled device 401 and is separated to this reflection amplifier 402.In this reflection amplifier 402, photoelectric conversion unit 404 converts thereof into the corresponding signal of telecommunication, and control unit 406 is resolved the photoelectric conversion unit 404 output signals of telecommunication, is control signal if judge it, then starts a test period T1.In test period, 406 pairs of Optical Amplifier Units 405 of control unit power on, and enter operating state to start Optical Amplifier Unit 405.With FP-LD is example, in test period FP-LD is powered on, and the bias current of FP-LD is set, and before T1 expires, if control unit 406 is not received control signal again, then closes FP-LD.Wherein should can set in advance in control unit 406 by test period T1.In a test period T1, OTDR can send the test light signal and test.If OTDR can't obtain desirable test result (curve) in a test period T1, then can repeat to transmit control signal, allow control unit 406 restart a test period, obtain test result according to the data in a plurality of cycles at last.After the normal bias, if the injection light signal is arranged, then FP-LD can send and inject the light signal that wavelength of optical signal is consistent and luminous intensity is exaggerated because FP-LD has powered on, and promptly is equivalent to the injection light signal is reflected amplification or light-electrical-optical regeneration passback.Wherein, the intensity of the light signal that FP-LD sends is relevant with the bias current size of the intensity of injecting light signal and FP-LD laser, and in the working range of FP-LD laser, the light signal that injects the strong more then emission of signal strength signal intensity is strong more, bias current is big more, and the light signal of emission is big more.The light signal reverse transfer of exporting after the injection locking, and receive to be detected by OTDR, the signal of output is strong more, is detected by OTDR easily more.By the bias current size of control FP-LD, the i.e. size of the reflectivity at may command DPRA place.
Further, control mode can be controlled by pulse duration, for example: when pulse duration during greater than 100uS, then start a test period.Also can adopt other modes to realize, for example: when only detecting set specific frequency signal, DPRA just starts a test period.Promptly can adopt identical mode to control in each branch, also can control in different ways.For example, if all adopting pulse duration controls, can start DPRA in all branches by a control signal, for example the control signal when all branches all be made as>during the optical signal pulses of 100uS, then after OTDR sends the light pulse of one>100uS, DPRA in all branches begins to start Optical Amplifier Unit 405, keeps power supply and control to Optical Amplifier Unit 405 in a test period.Also can each branch control separately, for example: first branch can control with 100~150uS pulse, and second branch can control with the pulse duration of 150~200uS.
As shown in Figure 5, be the specific implementation structure chart of the another kind of DPRA of the embodiment of the invention.Control by the reflection amplifier 402 among 2 couples of DPRA of an independent wavelength X in the present embodiment, for example utilize λ 1=1650nm to carry out line test, utilize λ 2=1625 to control.In this manner, light separator 403 can be wavelength division multiplexer WDM, and coupler 401 and light separator 403 can unite two into one, and the two is integrated a wavelength division multiplexer and realizes.Because adopt independent wavelength to control, control can be more flexible.Such as, in the non-testing time, control DPRA is operated in low-power consumption mode, FP-LD 405 is not powered.Control unit 406 is after receiving control signal, controlled function is opened a test period, FP-LD 405 is powered on, and FP-LD 405 (for example: the bias current that FP-LD is set) carried out control corresponding, after test period finishes, turn-off the power supply of FP-LD 405, reenter low-power consumption mode.
As shown in Figure 6, specific implementation structure chart for another DPRA of the embodiment of the invention, when DPRA is integrated into the ONU device interior, the opening and closing of OAM (operation maintenance management) commands for controlling optical amplification function that can be by data channel, thus realize the reflection of test light signal is amplified.Receive OAM control enabling signal, ONU transmits control signal to control unit 406, by the unlatching of control unit 406 control FP-LD 405, close, the setting of parameter (for example: the setting of FP-LD biasing circuit size.
In this manner, as shown in Figure 6.Reflection amplifier 402 comprises optical amplification function 405 (such as FP-LD) and controlled function 406.Because control signal is directly to be sent by ONU, so present embodiment is compared to above-mentioned other embodiment, and light separator and photoelectric conversion unit can be saved in these reflection amplifier 402 inside.
The embodiment of the invention mainly is the test signal that sends by near reception office testing device on the branch optical fiber of ONU end, realization is amplified the reflection of test signal, equivalence increases the reflectivity of separation, improve the height of reflection event, thereby realize reducing the performance requirement of CO end testing equipment or function (for example OTDR), reduce O﹠M cost and improve branch optical fiber Identification of events ability.
