Description

Multifrequency detection Optical Time Division Multiplexing Coherent optical time domain reflectometer method and apparatus
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of for characterizing and fault location optical fiber in optical communication line, in particular for the Coherent optical time domain reflectometer of long distance, the health monitoring of many relayings amplification submarine communication cable.
Background technology:
At present, commercial coherent light time domain reflection (COTDR) instrument all uses single mode narrow linewidth detecting optical pulses, the signal of telecommunication that coherent detection produces is single intermediate-freuqncy signal, by detecting the power of this intermediate-freuqncy signal over time, can obtain the health status of fibre circuit.Under specific pulsewidth condition, its dynamic range can be promoted by the average time increasing pulse peak power or increase data, but peak power is subject to the restriction of fiber nonlinear effect.Due to the Photoelectric Signal Processing module of commercial system, be only process an intermediate-freuqncy signal, like this, for the monitoring of the optical cable communication line of long distance, the trans-oceanic extra large cable of such as 12000 kilometers, system measurement time then can reach a few hours.Because COTDR system looks light uses live width to be less than the LASER Light Source of 10kHz, the flashlight which results between the Rayleigh scattering unit of detection light in tested optical fiber has extremely strong coherence, thus causes coherent rayleigh noise.Coherent rayleigh noise can cause the big ups and downs of detective curve, thus the identification of impact to optical communication line case point.For eliminating coherent rayleigh noise and increasing the dynamic range measured, the most frequently used way is exactly increase to measure and average number of times, and the detective curve of COTDR is generally 2 16secondary measurement result average, reaches 2 sometimes 18secondary or higher.
The performance evaluation of COTDR has three important parameters: dynamic range, spatial resolution and Measuring Time.The lifting of dynamic range realizes mainly through promoting detection of optical power and increase measurement and average number of times.But due to the restriction of the particularly stimulated Brillouin scattering of the nonlinear effect in optical fiber, inciding detection of optical power in tested optical fiber should lower than excited Brillouin threshold value, therefore the lifting of Dynamic Range is restricted.The spatial resolution measured, mainly by the restriction of detecting optical pulses width, shortens detecting optical pulses width with room for promotion resolution, but can reduce the dynamic range of measurement.By the mode of pulse code, measurement can be made to have large dynamic range and high spatial resolution, but this can increase the time of system signal process sharp simultaneously.In view of above-mentioned many restrictions, we are placed on the key promoting COTDR systematic function increases on measurement and average number of times.Obviously, commercial at present COTDR system increases measurement and average time can only realize by increasing the time of measuring.Want not to sacrifice the measurement effect that Measuring Time obtains for cost, only way is the measuring speed of elevator system.
Experimental report was had in 1996 about the research Japan NTT company Masatoyo Sumida promoting COTDR systematic survey speed.It is the frequency utilizing the Injection Current controlling distributed Blatt reflective formula (DBR) laser to change detection light, is obtained the detecting optical pulses sequence of different frequency by sequencing control.Detection light is essentially frequency pulse, and namely detection of optical power is constant and Time Continuous, but its frequency is then time-discrete.The backscattering of detection light frequency pulse in tested optical fiber and/or reflected signal are concerned with from the local oscillator light of single-frequency and produce multiple different intermediate-freuqncy signal, a corresponding drive test amount of intermediate-freuqncy signal, curve corresponding to multichannel intermediate-freuqncy signal finally synthesizes a road, and measuring speed so just can be made to be multiplied.So, the Photoelectric Signal Processing module of the program, after multiple bandpass filtering, parallel data processing, and then synthesize a road signal output by accumulator.Experimental result shows, the method can reduce the decline noise of detective curve rapidly, promotes signal to noise ratio.But can only there is a frequency in the method detection light each moment, need extra circuit design to the control of laser, the impact of the controlled-precision circuit hardware of control and the performance of laser own is very large.In addition, the local oscillator light of the program appears at the last of a pulse train cycle, therefore, certainly leads to the blind area of bringing because of design defect.
