Description

Raman amplifiction is put with light source, Raman amplifiction with light-source system, raman amplifier, Raman Big system
Technical field
The present invention relates to Raman amplifiction light source, Raman amplifiction light-source system, raman amplifier, Raman amplification system.
Background technology
In the past in fiber optic communication, using erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), to have carried out transmission range, transmission capacity Expand.But current, do not utilize Raman amplifiction effectively also using only EDFA, both are effectively combined as must can not Few technology.Currently, mainly used as Raman amplifiction, the optical fiber incident excitation light of Raman amplifiction is caused along with The backward excitation Raman amplifiction that the opposite direction in the direction of propagation of flashlight is propagated.But in order to towards it is follow-on more Add high speed (100Gb/s), long rangeization (100km transmission), broadband (L, S-band effective utilization), will be referred to as it is preceding to Excitation Raman amplifiction, the optical fiber incident excitation light of Raman amplifiction is caused along and flashlight direction of propagation identical direction The mode propagated is with backward excitation Raman amplifiction while using as crucial.Which is put referred to as two-way excitation Raman Greatly.In addition, following report be present, i.e. by using wavelength-division multiplex energisation mode, merely with backward excitation Raman amplifiction Planarizing, being broadband for Raman gain can be reached, but can not reach noise if two-way excitation Raman amplifiction is not utilized and refer to The planarization (non-patent literature 1,2) of number (NF).
Here, why explanation was except being widely used as 14XXnm wave band semiconductor laser moulds of the EDFA with excitation light source in the past Beyond block (LDM), the forward direction of incoherent (incoherent) is newly needed to encourage Raman amplifiction excitation light source.For Raman amplifiction Necessary main characteristic is listed below for the particularly preceding Raman amplifiction to excitation.
(1) low RIN transfers (Relative Intensity Noise：Relative intensity noise)
(2) low SBS (Stimulated Brillouin Scattering：Stimulated Brillouin scattering)
(3) low nonlinear effects
In addition, in order to tackle current wide band wave division multiplex transmission (DWDM transmission),
(4) it is required to control gain amplifier to carry out light amplification in wide band wavelength region.
So-called RIN, it is the index standardized with total light output to the small intensity variation component of laser.Raman Life-span of excitation level of the phenomenon of amplification due to producing gain it is shorter (Number fsec), if therefore existing in light source is encouraged Intensity noise is then directly by amplification process and the noise as flashlight.EDFA due to the lasting a long time of excitation level ( 10msec) so worrying in the absence of such.On Raman amplifiction, the gain of average per unit length compared with EDFA very It is small, but in forward direction encourages Raman amplifiction, because flashlight and excitation light are propagated together in a fiber in long range, so as to The noise of excitation light is slowly changed into the noise of flashlight.It this will be referred to as RIN transfers.In the rear Raman amplifiction to excitation, because Flashlight is relative with excitation light, so the time that the excitation light with certain noise component(s) and flashlight intersect is shorter, excitation light Noise influences less to caused by flashlight.Further, since the noise of excitation light is random, therefore even if flashlight by shadow Ring and be also averaged during relative advance.From the foregoing, it will be observed that forward direction excitation Raman amplifiction requires that RIN shifts low characteristic, It is particularly smaller with the group velocity difference of excitation light in flashlight and in optical fiber longer dispersion position of parallel time for being transmitted In shifting fiber (DSF) etc., the reduction of RIN transfers is critically important.
SBS is one of third-order nonlinear optical effect, is a part for light due to the sound as caused by light stimulus in a fiber The phenomenon learned phonon and rearward scattered.On excitation light, excitation light rearward scatters if SBS occurs, and will not effectively have Help Raman amplifiction, so it is not preferred.In general, if total light output intensity is identical, single-mode oscillation, swashing for narrow linewidth is exported The excitation light source of light easily produces SBS, so the quantity of increase oscillation longitudinal mode reduces the excitation of the light output of every longitudinal mode Light source suppresses SBS with can will not reducing Raman gain.If oscillation longitudinal mode is continuous and has the light source of wider spectrum width It then can more effectively suppress SBS.
Nonlinear effect can cause the distortion of flashlight, cause communication quality to deteriorate, so must avoid.Current light leads to Letter is typically all wavelength division multiplexing communications, even if the power (power) of the flashlight of a wavelength is smaller, by multiplexing so as to overall Power become big.Such as even if the power of the flashlight of each wavelength is 1mW, overall power turns into if 100 ripple multiplexings are carried out 100mW.When carrying out light amplification to flashlight to compensate the loss of transmission path, if putting with lumped constant type as EDFA Flashlight is amplified by big device quickly in certain opening position, then because the power of the flashlight after the amplification is imported into quickly In transmission path, therefore easily cause nonlinear effect.In order to avoid this case, with the various distributions of Raman amplifiction It is highly advantageous that constant type amplifier, which is gradually amplified,.But in forward direction encourages Raman amplifiction, in the incidence of transmission path Side, raman amplification gain exceed the transmission loss of the optical fiber as transmission path, the power of the flashlight in the part fiber More than the power at the incidence end of flashlight, easily cause nonlinear effect.In order to avoid this case, it have studied and Raman is swashed High-order of the Raman amplifiction untill it can be used as the excitation light of flashlight the wavelength that uses is repeated with encouraging lighting level connection to draw Graceful amplification.For example, it is such principle, i.e. is used to carry out Raman amplifiction to the flashlight of 1550nm wave bands The excitation light of the wavelength of 1450nm degree, but the excitation light of the wavelength of 1350nm degree is now utilized to 1450nm excitation light Raman amplifiction is carried out, the excitation light of the 1450nm after the Raman amplifiction carries out Raman amplifiction to the flashlight of 1550nm wave bands.It is logical Cross so, so as to transmission path incidence end, to flashlight carry out Raman amplifiction 1450nm excitation luminous power it is smaller, because And the Raman gain of the flashlight of 1550nm wave bands is smaller, as flashlight is transmitted, 1450nm excitation light passes through 1350nm excitation light and be exaggerated, so as to which the Raman gain of the flashlight for 1550nm wave bands becomes big.Thus, if as biography On the whole, then the loss of transmission path and Raman gain eliminate well in defeated path, so as to regard the biography just as optical fiber as Defeated loss is transmission path as 0, can further reduce nonlinear effect.Now, 1450nm excitation light is referred to as one Rank excitation light, is referred to as second order excitation light by 1350nm excitation light, and the system is referred to as into second order excitation system.Based on same original Reason, three ranks, the Raman excitation system of high-order as quadravalence, but even such Higher-order Raman excitation system are have studied, is The transmission of high-quality, low RIN transfers, low SBS are also necessary.
In the past, in order to solve 4 above-mentioned problems, various technologies (non-patent literature 3,4, patent text are disclosed Offer 1~4).

(embodiment 1)
Fig. 1 is the schematic structure for the Raman amplification system for having used the Raman amplifiction light source involved by embodiment 1 Figure.As shown in figure 1, Raman amplification system 100 is applied to optical transmission system 1000, optical transmission system 1000 possesses：Send 1.55 μ The WDM signal light of m wave bands is flashlight S1 transmitter 1001；Light as the transmission path being transmitted to flashlight S1 passes Lose fibre 1002；With reception signal light S1 receiver 1003.Raman amplification system 100 is passed by Raman amplifiction with light source 10 and light Fibre 1002 is lost to form.In addition, Raman amplification system 100 and each embodiment party as shown below involved by present embodiment 1 Raman amplification system involved by formula is also configured to raman amplifier.
Raman amplifiction light source 10 possesses：Multiple incoherent light sources 11, multiple excitation light sources 12, WDM couplers 13, Raman Amplification optical fiber 14 and the WDM couplers 15 as output section.
Multiple incoherent light sources 11 export the incoherent light IL with wavelength different from each other respectively.In addition, so-called non-phase Dry light, the lasing light emitter not vibrated with single or multiple discrete pattern (longitudinal mode), but mean that there is continuous frequency spectrum The light that the set of photon without correlation is formed.Multiple incoherent light sources 11 include SLD (Super Luminescent Diode： Super-radiance light emitting diode), SOA (Semiconductor Optical Amplifier：Semiconductor optical amplifier) and possess ASE (the Amplified Spontaneous Emission of terres rares addition optical fiber (such as EDF)：Amplified spontaneous emission source) Light source it is at least one, in present embodiment 1, if all SLD.
Multiple excitation light sources 12 difference output wavelengths are mutually different and with to incoherent light IL progress Raman amplifictions The second order excitation light SPL of wavelength.Multiple excitation light sources 12 include mutually different Fabry-Perot (FP) type of wavelength, by FP types At least the one of the semiconductor laser of the FP-FBG types, DFB types and the DBR types that are combined with Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG) It is individual, in present embodiment 1, if all FP types semiconductor lasers.
Each incoherent light IL and each second order excitation light SPL is carried out multiplex to export by WDM couplers 13.Fig. 2 is to represent WDM The figure of one of the structure of coupler 13.WDM couplers 13 have following structure, i.e. are made up of dielectric multilayer film filter Multiple WDM couplers 13a and multiple WDM couplers 13b for being made up of dielectric multilayer film filter connected by optical fiber Connection.Each WDM couplers 13a is connected by optical fiber with each incoherent light source 11, and with to from the incoherent light source connected The incoherent light IL of 11 outputs is reflected and makes the light transmissive wavelength characteristic of other wavelength.Similarly, each WDM couplers 13b is connected by optical fiber with each excitation light source 12, and with the second order excitation light SPL to being exported from the excitation light source 12 connected Reflected and make the light transmissive wavelength characteristic of other wavelength.Thus, WDM couplers 13 can by each incoherent light IL and Each second order excitation light SPL carries out multiplex and exported from output port 13c.
Fig. 3 is the figure of the WDM couplers 13 ' of another of the structure for being denoted as WDM couplers.WDM couplers 13 ' have Standby AWG (the Arrayed Waveguide Gratings for having used planar lightwave circuit (PLC)：Array waveguide grating) 13 ' a. Each of multiple aa of port 13 ' of AWG13 ' a multiport side is connected with each incoherent light source 11, multiple ab's of port 13 ' Each is connected with each excitation light source 12.Thus, WDM couplers 13 ' can be by each incoherent light IL and each second order excitation light SPL Carry out multiplex and exported from the ac of output port 13 '.
It is back to Fig. 1.Raman amplifiction via WDM couplers 13 and multiple incoherent light sources 11 and multiple is swashed with optical fiber 14 Encourage light source 12 to connect, pass through each second order excitation light SPL inputted and Raman amplifiction is carried out to each incoherent light IL inputted, and Exported as incoherent amplification light.Raman amplifiction optical fiber 14 is optical fiber known to highly nonlinear optical fiber etc..It is here, multiple non- Coherent source 11 and multiple excitation light sources 12 are connected via WDM couplers 13 with Raman amplifiction optical fiber 14 so that each second order Excitation light SPL carries out preceding to excitation to each incoherent light IL.That is, in Raman amplifiction each second order excitation light SPL in optical fiber 14 The direction of propagation and each incoherent light IL direction of propagation are same directions.
WDM couplers 15 as output section are connected with optical delivery fiber 1002, are transfused to incoherent amplification light, and by its It is set to the single order excitation light FPL with the wavelength that Raman amplifiction is carried out to flashlight S1 and is output to optical delivery fiber 1002.WDM Coupler 15 is the known WDM couplers for having used dielectric multilayer film filter etc..Here, WDM couplers 15 pass with light The connection of fibre 1002 is lost make it that it is preceding to excitation that single order excitation light FPL is carried out to flashlight S1.That is, WDM couplers 15 pass with light Lose fibre 1002 to connect so that the single order excitation light FPL direction of propagation turns into same direction with the flashlight S1 direction of propagation.By This, the flashlight S1 transmitted in optical delivery fiber 1002 by the stimulated Raman scattering phenomenon in optical delivery fiber 1002, from And Raman amplifiction is carried out by single order excitation light FPL.
If known using incoherent light as single order excitation light, the RIN from single order excitation light to flashlight can be reduced Transfer, but because the power output of incoherent light source is typically small, so being difficult to swash directly as the single order of Raman amplifiction Light source is encouraged to use.
On the other hand, present inventors have discovered that, encouraged by the relevant second order by FP type semiconductor lasers etc. Light carry out Raman amplifiction after incoherent light as single order excitation light in the case of, can also reduce to flashlight RIN shift. Then, in Raman amplification system 100, it is configured in Raman amplifiction light source 10, will be made up of FP type semiconductor lasers Multiple excitation light sources 12 as second order excitation light SPL by Raman amplifiction to carry out Raman amplifiction with optical fiber 14 incoherent to obtain Light, resulting incoherent light is subjected to Raman to flashlight S1 by optical delivery fiber 1002 as single order excitation light FPL and put Greatly.Thereby, it is possible to realize low RIN transfers.
In addition, incoherent light IL, compared with the coherent sources such as FP type semiconductor lasers, luminous wave band is wider, relative to Peak strength is relatively low for luminous overall intensity.Therefore, it is used as single order excitation light FPL by being amplified to it, from And low SBS can be realized.And then the width of the luminous wave band according to incoherent light IL, as representational nonlinear effect Four-wave mixing be difficult to meet its phase-matching condition, the generation of four-wave mixing is inhibited.Thereby, it is possible to realize low nonlinearity Effect.
It is additionally, since the multiple incoherent light sources for possessing incoherent light IL of the output with wavelength different from each other respectively 11 and second order excitation light SPL of the output with wavelength different from each other multiple excitation light sources 12 respectively, therefore can be in wideband The gain amplifier of the wavelength region control signal light of band carries out light amplification.
So, by Raman amplifiction light source 10,4 above-mentioned problems can be solved simultaneously.
, can be according to being amplified in addition, excitation light source 12 and wavelength, quantity, frequency band, the power of incoherent light source 11 Flashlight S1 amplification band, desired gain and gain flatness are suitably adjusted.
Next, the example of the configuration and power to incoherent light and the wavelength of second order excitation light illustrates.Fig. 4 is Represent the figure of one of the configuration of incoherent light and the wavelength of second order excitation light.In the example shown in Figure 4, if incoherent light The quantity in source 11 (SLD) is 2, and the quantity of excitation light source 12 (excitation FP-LD) is 4.As shown in figure 4, by second order excitation light SPLA, SPLB, SPLC, SPLD wavelength are set to 1350nm, 1370nm, 1380nm, 1400nm, and power is set to 250mW.In addition, Incoherent light ILA, ILB wavelength are set to 1450nm, 1480nm, three dB bandwidth is set to 30nm, and power is all provided with For 5mW.In the position for the long wavelength side that Raman shift about 100nm is distinguished from second order excitation light SPLA, SPLB, SPLC, SPLD Put, form the Raman gain frequency band using Raman peak values RPA, RPB, RPC, RPD based on each second order excitation light as peak.By This, incoherent light ILA, ILB turn into single order excitation light FPL by Raman amplifiction.Here, in the example shown in Figure 4, because setting Second order excitation light SPLA, SPLB, SPLC, SPLD wavelength has been determined to cause Raman peak values RPA, RPB, RPC, RPD positioned at relative For incoherent light ILA, ILB peak wavelength the luminous intensity of the relatively low wavelength of the luminous intensity of long wavelength side and short wavelength side compared with Low wavelength, so the light for being capable of the relatively low wavelength of the luminous intensity to incoherent light ILA, ILB gives higher Raman gain.Knot Fruit, single order excitation light FPL turn into more flat spectral shape relative to wavelength.
For example, in embodiment 1, second order excitation light SPLA, SPLB, SPLC, SPLD, non-is being set as described above In the case of coherent light ILA, ILB, the wide band incoherent drawing of high power and 1430nm~1500nm degree can be obtained Graceful amplification light (single order excitation light), can be to the letter of the C+L wave bands used in optical communications of the degree from 1530nm to 1625nm Number light carries out Raman amplifiction.
In addition, in multiple incoherent light sources 11, as long as by by SLD and ASE light sources, SOA and ASE light based on EDF Different types of incoherent light source that source, SOA and SLD etc. export the incoherent light of wave band different from each other is combined, so as to Make excitation light band broadband, then the broadband of gain frequency band becomes easy.Such as use using 1480nm wave bands in In the case that the SOA that tens of nm of heart wave band is acted is as incoherent light source, it is difficult to make the SOA in ripple in addition Acted under length.Therefore, if the SOA and SLD, ASE light source are used simultaneously, just 1480nm wave bands can also not make to swash Encourage optical band and be extended to 1300nm wave bands or 1550nm wave bands.In addition, by using the ASE light source conducts for having used following optical fiber ASE light sources, so as to make excitation light band broadband, the optical fiber is to added with different rare earth element (Er or Er With Al2O3, being co-doped with of Yb, PbS semiconductor-quantum-point) optical fiber connected optical fiber, be added with different rare earths jointly The optical fiber of element.
