Specific embodiment
In order to make the object, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the invention clearer, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention In attached drawing, technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described embodiment is A part of the embodiment of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art Every other embodiment obtained without creative efforts, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Distant pump (Remote Optically Pumped Amplifier, ROPA) technology is by erbium-doped fiber amplifier The passive parts such as unpumped section (Remote Pump Unit, RPU) and Er-doped fiber (Remote Gain Unit, RGU) carry out Separation, the passive parts such as Er-doped fiber (RGU) are placed among route, and unpumped section (RPU) is placed in computer room, are pumped Pu energy is transmitted to the Er-doped fiber part among route by remote optical fiber, and excitation Er-doped fiber carries out signal amplification, There is the transmission range of dozens or even hundreds of kilometer between unpumped section and Er-doped fiber.Due to the passive portion being placed among route Divide and do not need to power, therefore is the effective workaround of long distance transmission.
Current Remote optical pumping amplifier is divided into road Remote optical pumping amplifier and bypass Remote optical pumping amplifier.With road Remote optical pumping amplifier, that is, signal light and pump Pu light transmits in same root optical fiber, bypasses Remote optical pumping amplifier, that is, signal light and pump light transmits in different optical fiber.It is distant with road Pumping system and bypass Remote optical pumping amplifier can be applied respectively or be applied simultaneously.The embodiment of the present invention proposes that one kind both can be applied to With road Remote optical pumping amplifier, the distant pump pumping source device with OTDR function of bypass Remote optical pumping amplifier can also be applied to, Fig. 1 is the present invention The structural schematic diagram of a kind of distant pump pumping source device with OTDR function of embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, described device includes swashing Light unit, circulator and processing unit;Wherein, laser cell is connect with circulator and processing unit respectively;Circulator is used for will The first optical signal transmission that laser cell issues is to output optical fibre, and the second optical signal transmission that output optical fibre is returned is to handling Unit;Processing unit be used for according to the second optical signal control laser cell working condition, working condition include OTDR state and Distant pump state.
Specifically, laser cell has two kinds of working conditions, i.e. OTDR state and distant pump state.First under OTDR state Signal light is OTDR pulse signal, and second signal light is the reflection/scattering light letter generated based on Fresnel reflection or Rayleigh scattering Number;The first signal light under distant pump state is pump light signals, and second signal light is the reflected light signal of pump light signals.
When laser cell is in OTDR state, the first signal light, that is, OTDR pulse signal that laser cell issues, OTDR Pulse signal is transmitted through the fiber to circulator, and circulator is by OTDR pulse signal transmission to output optical fibre immediately, herein, output Optical fiber is to pump the optical fiber that source device is connect with the distant pump described in the embodiment of the present invention with OTDR function, so that OTDR arteries and veins It rushes in the testing fiber link that signal can be that output optical fibre is connected and propagates.With that is, output optical fibre is believed the second of return Number light, i.e., the reflection/scattered light signal generated based on Fresnel reflection or Rayleigh scattering are transmitted to circulator, and circulator is will be upper It states reflection/scattered light signal and is transmitted to processing unit, after processing unit receives reflection/scattered light signal, according to reflection/scattering Optical signal controls the working condition of laser cell, that is, judges whether the working condition of switched laser unit.
When laser cell is in distant pump state, the first signal light, that is, pump light signals that laser cell issues, pump light Signal is transmitted through the fiber to circulator, and pump light signals are transmitted to output optical fibre by circulator immediately, and herein, output optical fibre is With the optical fiber that connect of distant pump pumping source device described in the embodiment of the present invention with OTDR function, enable pump light signals Enough it is to propagate in testing fiber link that output optical fibre is connected, and Er-doped fiber is motivated to carry out signal amplification.With that is, output Optical fiber is by the second signal light of return, i.e., the reflected light signal of pump light signals is transmitted to circulator, circulator under distant pump state Above-mentioned reflected light signal is being transmitted to processing unit, after processing unit receives reflected light signal, according to reflected light signal control The working condition of laser cell processed judges whether the working condition of switched laser unit.
In the embodiment of the present invention, OTDR and distant pumping function are realized by same laser cell, are not only saved high OTDR equipment cost solves the problems, such as that engineering staff's on-site test is time-consuming and laborious, additionally it is possible to realize real-time optical fiber cable path loss Consumption monitoring is avoided due to the unclean existing danger for burning fiber end face of fiber end face.
Based on the above embodiment, a kind of distant pump with OTDR function pumps source device, and laser cell includes that several swash Light device;When laser cell is in OTDR state, the first optical signal is OTDR pulse signal;Processing unit is based on default OTDR rule It then controls a corresponding laser in laser cell and issues OTDR pulse signal;When laser cell is in distant pump state, the One optical signal is pump light signals;Processing unit is based on corresponding one or more sharp in default pumping rule control laser cell Light device issues pump light signals.
Specifically, laser cell includes several lasers, and the quantity of laser according to concrete application scene and can answer It is adjusted with demand, the quantity to laser in laser cell and specification do not make specific limit to the embodiment of the present invention.It needs Bright, when laser cell is in OTDR state, processing unit controls a laser in laser cell and issues OTDR arteries and veins Signal is rushed, remaining laser in laser cell is in close state, when laser cell is in distant pump state, processing unit control One or more lasers in laser cell processed issue pump light signals, i.e. OTDR pulse signal is only issued by a laser Optical signal, and pump light signals then can be by several lasers issue after carry out multiplex optical signal.
Herein, OTDR rule is preset to be used to set in laser cell for emitting the laser of OTDR pulse signal, moreover it is possible to It is enough in the impulse amplitude of setting transmitting OTDR pulse signal.In addition, default OTDR rule can also be used to setting transmitting OTDR The pulse width of pulse signal and sampling number etc., the present invention is not especially limit this.Pump is issued under distant pump state The number of lasers of Pu optical signal can be determined according to practical application scene and application demand, and the light letter that each laser issues Number wavelength and power require to determine based on default pumping rule.
