Description
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, and in particular relates to an optical fiber information acquisition device, an optical fiber connection system and an optical fiber information acquisition method.
Background
The development of fiber optic technology has led to an increasing range of applications for optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used not only in information transmission networks but also in applications including power, exploration, and the like. For a scenario of large-scale optical fiber application, such as a ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) system with large cross-capacity, the number of single-point optical fibers may reach thousands or even tens of thousands, and finding an optical fiber during the maintenance and management of the optical fiber becomes a very tedious and easily faulty problem. In the current network construction process, a large number of optical fibers can only be searched one by one manually, paper labels are attached to the optical fibers, the optical fibers are bundled and then put on a rack, then the paper labels are manually compared one by one on the rack, the paper labels are searched and then are connected to equipment, and finally the connection relation of the optical fibers is manually poured into network pipe equipment. The process is quite tedious, a large amount of manual operation is quite easy to cause errors, a light person accesses the service to an unnecessary place, and a heavy person can cause a large amount of interruption of the service which is normally operated in the whole system.
In order to solve the problem of errors caused by manual access to optical fibers in a transmission system, one existing solution is: an electronic tag, such as a micro electronic memory or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification ) is added on the optical fiber connector, and a reader of the electronic tag is added at the flange position of the optical fiber connector. When the optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber connection equipment, the reader-writer at the flange position can automatically acquire the label information of the optical fiber connector, and the detection of the optical fiber connection can be automatically realized according to the binding relation between the optical fiber and the label and the port position relation. However, the proposal mainly solves the problems of automatic detection in the optical fiber connection process and automatic input of the actual connection relationship into the network management equipment. Once a scheme of identifying optical fibers using electronic tags has emerged, the scheme is widely used in ODN (Optical Distribution Network ) sub-racks for optical fiber connections. However, for large ROADM devices, the external ports cannot be all unified into one form, and it is difficult for ROADM device manufacturers to unify the flange forms and read-write standards of all suppliers in their own devices, which makes it difficult to widely install flanges with tag read-write functions on the devices. Also for large optical systems where the fiber capacity is large and the fiber connections are more easily variable, this solution is not very good, which also results in that the fiber connection remains a critical and temporarily unsolved problem when ROADM technology is applied to larger line areas.
Furthermore, since the optical fibers are bundled after being mounted on the rack, it is not clear where the optical fibers need to be connected, and it is thus necessary to clarify the role of each optical fiber before connecting the optical fibers, and manually apply paper labels. In the process of connecting optical fibers, the optical fibers are manually searched one by one according to paper labels and connected to the expected equipment ports, and the process is quite tedious and easy to cause problems.

For example, the connection controller 30 may first check whether the installation position of the optical fiber information acquisition device 10 is correct, and if not, prompt to install the optical fiber information acquisition device 10 in the correct position. Next the connection controller 30 prompts the field craftsman to connect the fiber optic connector to the correct optical interface location. Specifically, the connection controller 30 determines the optical fiber information acquisition device 10 corresponding to the optical fiber to be connected, and drives the optical fiber indicator 15 on the corresponding optical fiber to be lightened through the processing module 22 on the optical fiber information acquisition device 10. The field worker may connect the corresponding optical fiber to a particular optical interface based on the prompts of the fiber optic indicator 15.
