(OLT) power equalizer of power equalization is carried out in upward signal and includes the OLT of this power equalizer.
Background technology
In time division multiplexing (TDM)/time-division wavelength-division hybrid multiplex (TWDM)-PON system, due to each optical network unit
(ONU) it is different to OLT transmission range, so the luminous power that upward signal reaches OLT is also different.In addition, in gigabit
In EPON (GPON) system, the automatic growth control and clock and data recovery process of upward signal should be with firm powers
Level is completed within 44ns time, has the stricter time will to this process in the symmetrical TWDM-PON systems of 40Gb/s
Ask.In order to overcome this problem, a kind of effective method be make OLT ends receiver (Rx) receive each upward signal before
The optical power adjustment of each upward signal is horizontal to identical.In order to realize the light of this upward signal in TDM/TWDM-PON
Power equalization, it has been suggested that some schemes, including:Variable optical attenuator, or dynamic is used to adjust in each ONU
The bias current of ONU burst mode transmitters.
However, in these methods, OLT receivers must measure each ONU luminous powers and be sent out in registration phase to ONU
Send corresponding control signal.In addition, some extra components or control module are needed in each ONU.Especially, as 10 is lucky
Bit passive optical network (XGPON) starts to be examined by FSAN (FSAN) by operator's widespread deployment, and TWDM-PON
Consider the primary solutions as next-generation passive optical network (NGPON), upward signal future is up to 10Gb/s data transfer rates, such as
Fruit is if each ONU end realizes ascending power equilibrium, it will produces higher cost of implementation.
Accordingly, it is desirable to be able to up light power equalization is realized in the olt to reduce ONU end complexity and cost.
Fig. 1 show it is a kind of in the prior art in the olt carry out light power equalization scheme schematic diagram (referring to
Ting-Tsan Huang, et.al, Optical power equalization for upstream traffic with
Injection-locked Fabry Perot lasers in TDM-PON, optical communications, 283
(2010)).As shown in fig. 1, it is used as optical power equalizer pair using a Fabry-Perot laser (FP-LD)
Upward signal from each ONU carries out power equalization.Due to FP-LD effective threshold current can by external optical injection and
Reduce, so the FP-LD to be worked under threshold current can be injected by using light and launch laser.Simultaneously as FP-LD
Gain competition and reset characteristic, the FP-LD to be worked under threshold current can absorb or amplify under various power levels
Incident light, so as to which most ascending power is maintained at a constant level at last.
However, such scheme has the shortcomings that the following obvious:
1st, the data-rate limitation of upward signal power equalization is less than or equal to 2.5Gb/s;And in XGPON and future
In the symmetrical TWDM-PON of 40Gb/s, it is desirable to achieve the power equalization of 10Gb/s upward signals.
2nd, in this scenario, because the wavelength of external injection signal easily drifts about, cause up after power equalization
Signal will serious distortion.
3rd, upward signal needs to amplify, to provide enough luminous powers for external optical injection signal, therefore in actual portion
Extra image intensifer is needed in administration.

Embodiment
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is more fully described below with reference to accompanying drawings.Although the present invention is shown in accompanying drawing
Preferred embodiment, however, it is to be appreciated that may be realized in various forms the present invention without the embodiment party that should be illustrated here
Formula is limited.On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention is more thorough and complete, and can be by the present invention's
Scope is completely communicated to those skilled in the art.
The system that Fig. 2 shows the upward signal light power equalization being used in PON system according to embodiment of the present invention
The schematic diagram of framework 200.
As shown in Figure 2, system 200 includes OLT10, one or more ONU20 (such as ONU1, ONU2 ..., ONUn),
And remote node (RN) 30.Wherein, the structure of ONU20 and remote node 30 is identical with being used in traditional PON system, therefore
Repeat no more.OLT10 uses the structure for including novel optical power equalizer 210 designed according to this invention, such as following ginseng
Examine what Fig. 3 was described in detail.
As illustrated, OLT10 includes wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) 110, power equalizer 120 and receiver 130, Yi Jiyi
A little other assemblies (these components and the implementation relation of the present invention are little, therefore herein without being described in detail).
WDM110 is configured as receiving the upward signal from multiple ONU20.Due to each ONU20 to OLT10 transmission
Distance is different, so after being transmitted by optical fiber, the power level for the upward signal that WDM110 is received is also different.In order to
To what is received there is the horizontal upward signal of different capacity to carry out light power equalization, the present invention devises a kind of novel power
Balanced device 120, for carrying out light power equalization to the upward signal received.
As illustrated, power equalizer 120 is coupled between WDM110 and receiver 130, for by from WDM110's
Upward signal is adjusted to constant power level.The concrete structure of power equalizer 120 will be retouched in detail below in reference to Fig. 3
State.
Receiver 130, for receiving the upward signal with constant power level from power equalizer 120.
Using this OLT structures, it is equal that the received upward signal with different luminous powers is incident to power first
In weighing apparatus 120, to amplify and its power be adjusted into phase same level.
Here, OLT10 structure is described by taking TDM-PON systems as an example.In TDM-PON systems, with one
All ONU related OLT launch upward signal with identical upstream wavelength, therefore only need in the olt single to what is received
The upward signal of wavelength is handled.
However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that power allocation scheme proposed by the invention can be applied easily
In TWDM-PON systems or other have in the PON system of multiple different upstream wavelengths.In this system, such as TWDM-PON systems
In system, the multiple ONUs related from an OLT may be with different upstream wavelength (such as 4 different upstream wavelengths) transmittings
Row signal, it is therefore desirable to configure a receiving branch in the olt for each upstream wavelength.In every receiving branch, configuration one
Individual power equalizer 120, for the upward signal with identical upstream wavelength from WDM110 to be adjusted into corresponding constant
Power level.In every receiving branch, a corresponding receiver 130 is also configured, it is couple to corresponding power equalizer
120, for receiving the upward signal of the Same Wavelength with corresponding constant power level from power equalizer 120.
Using above-mentioned OLT schemes, the dynamic range of receiver 130 can be substantially reduced while effectively increasing up
The power budget of signal.
Fig. 3 shows equal for carrying out power to upward signal in OLT (such as OLT10) according to embodiment of the present invention
The schematic diagram of the concrete structure of the power equalizer 120 of weighing apparatus.
As shown in Figure 3, power equalizer 120 includes photo-coupler 122, unit 124 and semiconductor light is monitored and controlled
Amplifier (SOA) 126.
Photo-coupler 122 is configured as receiving the upward signal from ONU (ONU20 in such as Fig. 2), and is by its branch
Part I and Part II.
Preferably, the Part I for the upward signal that photo-coupler 122 is divided is far smaller than Part II.For example, light
Coupler 122 can be one 5%:95% photo-coupler, the power of the upward signal received is shunted to the first of 5% by it
Part and 95% Part II.However, art technology is arbitrarily it is appreciated that the invention is not limited in this, but can be with
Use the photo-coupler of any division proportion.
Unit 124 is monitored and controlled to couple with photo-coupler 122, it is configured as receiving and monitors photo-coupler and is divided
Upward signal Part I power, and produce the control signal of the incident bias current for controlling SOA126.
SOA126 is coupled with photo-coupler 122 and monitoring and control unit 124, and it is configured as from photo-coupler 122
The Part II of divided upward signal is received, and the control signal is received from unit 124 is monitored and controlled, according to the control
Its incident bias current of Signal Regulation processed, so as to which the power of the Part II of upward signal is adjusted into desired firm power water
It is flat.
Fig. 4 shows the schematic diagram of the corresponding relation between conventional SOA gain and incident bias current.As illustrated,
SOA gain is gradually risen with the rise of bias current, and SOA gain coefficient can be biased by changing its incidence
Electric current and be easily adjusted.
Therefore, in the present invention, unit 124 is monitored and controlled to first of the upward signal from photo-coupler 122
Point power be monitored to calculate the power of upward signal that photo-coupler 122 receives, according to the power of the upward signal
SOA126 gain coefficient is determined with the constant power level to be realized, and is biased according to SOA126 gain coefficient with incident
Relation between electric current determines the size of SOA126 incident bias current to produce the control signal (as shown in Figure 4).
Illustrate, it is assumed that the luminous power of the upward signal of entrance is A, then passes through photo-coupler 122 (such as 5%:95%
Photo-coupler) Part I after division and the power of Part II is respectively 5%A and 95%A.It is further assumed that in OLT10
The constant power level to be realized is B, then unit 124, which is monitored and controlled, to be defined as SOA126 gain coefficient GAnd determined and the gain system according to the relation between gain coefficient as shown in Figure 4 and incident bias current
Incident bias current corresponding number G is as the incident bias current for SOA126.Unit 124 is monitored and controlled to produce accordingly
Control signal to adjust SOA126 incident bias current.
As can be seen that when the luminous power of the Part I for the upward signal that monitoring and control unit 124 is monitored is higher,
SOA126 incident bias current is adjusted to a lower value, to obtain compared with low gain;On the contrary, work as monitored upward signal
Part I luminous power it is relatively low when, SOA126 incident bias current is adjusted to a high value to obtain higher increasing
Benefit.In this way, unit 124 is monitored and controlled automatically can be adjusted to appropriate by SOA126 incident bias current
Value so that the upward signal each entered obtains constant power after SOA126, so as to thoroughly disappear in OLT10
Except the serious optical power difference from different ONU, the light power equalization of upward signal is realized.
In addition, SOA126 can be enlarged over the signal of 40Gb/s data transfer rates, therefore it is fully able to be used for 10Gb/s letters
Number power equalization.
Currently, this realization can be supported in the presence of the ripe commercial SOA products with high saturation power.
In addition, in one implementation, power equalizer 120 can also include wave filter 128, and it is couple to SOA126, use
Spontaneous radiation (ASE) noise in the upward signal with constant power level for suppressing SOA126 outputs.Device after filtering
The signal of 128 processing is sent to uplink receiver (such as Rx130) to be handled.
In addition, in one implementation, power equalizer 120 can also include optical delay line 129, and it is coupled in photo-coupler
Between 122 and SOA126, the processing time of unit 124 is monitored and controlled for compensating.Optical delay line 129 can be prolonged by optical fiber
The delay devices of slow or any other forms is realized.In this way, Part II upward signal is with being monitored and controlled
Control signal caused by unit 124 keeps synchronous.
The particular advantages of the present invention are:
1st, light power equalization is realized in the olt using inexpensive component, and can be shared by all ONU, therefore realize
Cost is very low.
2nd, after light power equalization, upward signal remains in that superperformance, and existing scheme will be due to wave length shift
And cause serious distorted signals.
3rd, ONU and RN structures are identical with traditional PON system, therefore greatly reduce lower deployment cost.
4th, due to using SOA components, the present invention can support that the upward signal luminous power of 10Gb/s or more High Data Rate is equal
Weighing apparatus, and Current protocols can only support highest 2.5Gb/s data transfer rate.
5th, in addition to light power equalization, the present invention can also improve the power budget of upward signal.
