The configuration on demand of the wavelength of each in optic communication so that each wavelength in optical-fiber network between two websites (also referred to as node) not
The path maintained like, or certain wavelength also not distribute to certain two website forever.
In order to carry out the label that low frequency is superimposed on network topology identification and optical channel detection, wavelength that can be in optical-fiber network
Signal, it is entrained in label signal by solving while the label signal on each node in a network in identification optical channel
Information, obtains the information such as the transmission path of optical signal in a network is related to other wavelength.Load wavelength tag and (be also referred to as cursor
Label) signal mode including the use of electric adjustable optical attenuator, the optical transmitting set with low-rate modulation mode, with low-rate modulation side
High speed business modulator such as MZ (mach-zehnder) modulator, image intensifer of formula etc..The modulation depth of wavelength tag signal
It is generally arranged between 2%~10%, is such as 3% or 5%.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing, intensive multiplexed optical wave use) in system, the quantity of wavelength channel is also increasingly
It is many, then the wavelength tag transmitted among multiple nodes, it is possible to which that needs are modified, and this will realize the wiping of wavelength tag
Remove and regenerate.
It is to be based on carrying out effective payload mostly for the erasing and regeneration treatment of optical label in technology existing at present
Processing.
One Patent No. US7224909B2 United States Patent (USP) " method and system for selective
Optical payload cancellation ", relate to how to be wiped some of effective payload (payload) frequency range
Technology, in order in these frequency ranges load optical label signal when, it is to avoid influence of the payload to label signal.The technology
It is due to that payload is handled although the signal of corresponding frequency band can be wiped, so service signal can be affected, and
And signal to noise ratio (Signal Noise Ratio, referred to as SNR) can also be deteriorated to a certain extent, this is for transmission performance
One unfavorable factor;In addition, the technology uses feedforward control in control strategy, and this control method forms two differences
Signal processing path, in such cases, the problem of stationary problem of two independent pathways is exactly one more complicated, although
Light delay link has been used in the invention, but the accurate control and antijamming capability of delay hardly result in guarantee.
Another Patent No. US7702246B2 patent " optical label switching scheme
employing differential phase-shift keying for payloads and intensity
Modulation for labels using a single optical modulator ", relate to how to fold label signal
It is added on effective payload (payload), and using the technology of MZ modulators progress coded modulation, and utilize RF (radio
Frequency, radio frequency) the rejective amplifier technology of wiping label.Although the technology can wipe the signal of correspondence radio frequency band,
But it is due to that payload is handled, so noise can be introduced to a certain extent, service signal is interfered.In addition,
The technology, when reloading, is label signal to be wiped and regeneration treatment with two independent signal processing paths, this
Sample, the problem of synchronization in two paths will be one more complicated.
In summary, there are the following problems for prior art:The erasing and regeneration treatment of optical label, are entered based on effective payload
Row processing, thus payload can be impacted, and then influence the transmission performance of service signal;In addition, existing to optical label
The erasing of signal and regeneration treating method are wiped and regenerated respectively using two independent signal processing paths, Zhi Hou
It is overlapped at some node, therefore, is related to the stationary problem of two different signal processing paths, adds answering for realization
Miscellaneous degree.

Label);Wavelength path pass through each node each reference point on, can by embedded wavelength tag detector come
The label of each wavelength of the point is passed through in monitoring and identification.
The erasing of the wavelength tag of the present invention and regeneration flow are described in detail with reference to Fig. 2.
Optical label in step A. detection input optical signals;
As shown in figure 1, front side light splitting coupler 101 separates a part of light to front side label testing 301, the inspection of front side label
Survey device 301 and analyze wavelength tag information therein using the method for Digital Signal Processing, and handled accordingly, output label
Information to main control unit 401.
The signal of step B. generation control erasings;
The control waveform generator 501 of main control unit 401 produces the signal with certain frequency, and exports stagnant to adjustable phase
Device 601 afterwards.
Optical label in step C. detection output optical signals;

The information of outgoing label is to main control unit 401.
Step D. judges whether optical label still has, if it is, going to step F;If it is not, then going to step E;
If without optical label in output light, care label has been wiped free of, whereas if also having in output light
Optical label, then illustrate that control process needs are iterated adjustment.
Wherein, the criterion that optical label has been wiped can be:Label testing can't detect the amplitude of label either
The label amplitude detected is in the as far as possible small scope allowed.
Step E. output controls or indication signal, mark erase process have been completed;
Main control unit 401 sends control or indication signal to control unit 402, after control unit 402 is received, learns label
It is now erased, just label can be reloaded with abstract factory loading unit 701.
Step F. judges whether the amplitude of optical label is to be in the lowest point flex point, if it is, going to step G;If it is not,
Then go to step H;
When main control unit 401 judges that needs are iterated adjustment, can't determine it is that reverse-phase compensation is inadequate, still
Attenuation amplitude not enough, at this moment needs whether the amplitude for judging label is in flex point, if it is, explanation phase need not be adjusted,
Adjustment amplitude is now only needed to, if it is not, then explanation also needs to adjustment phase place.
Specifically, whether the criterion in flex point can be the amplitude of optical label:Examined using the labels of nearest three times
The amplitude of survey is judged, if the value of nearest three times is not dull (i.e. range value curve has monotonicity), and middle
Value is minimum, then explanation detects the lowest point flex point.
Step G. carries out phase shift processing to the signal of control erasing;
The control adjustable phase of main control unit 401 delayed device 601, phase shift processing is carried out to the signal of control erasing.
The amplitude of step H. adjustment control erasing signals;
The control of main control unit 401 501 pairs of signals to control erasing of waveform generator enter line amplitude adjustment.
Step I. works as after the completion of erase process, controlled loading unit, loads new label;
Main control unit 402 receives the new label that main control unit 401 is transmitted after the instruction of erase process completion is received
Content, abstract factory loading unit 701 loads new label, completes the regeneration of label.
