The Light Sensor (LS) is an in-band monitoring technique, and a single channel is monitored by loading a low frequency (below several tens of megahertz (MHz)) modulation (pilot tone) on an optical wavelength channel at a high speed (above several gigahertz (GHz)). By using frequency division technology, different LS pilot frequencies are loaded on different wavelengths, and multi-channel monitoring can be realized.
The wavelength tracking technology (LS) is an optical channel state detection technology that identifies Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical wavelength signals by using pilot signals based on amplitude modulation, and further implements wavelength path tracking, optical power reporting, and the like. The wavelength tracking technology can greatly improve the soft strength of the wavelength division product.
The modulation depth represents the ratio of the amplitude of the low frequency component modulated on the original traffic signal dc power to the dc component. The modulation depth is in turn divided into an electrical modulation depth M _ rf and an optical modulation depth M _ op.

The electrical modulation signal is set (i.e. the actual controllable signal) and then modulated onto the optical signal by the modulator, but the actual optical signal is influenced by the modulation amplitude and modulation depth after modulation, which is determined by the electrical modulation signal, as well as the transfer function of the modulator, and the threshold current of the laser in the directly modulated laser.
In the LS signal detection, ideally, the optical modulation depth M _ op is not changed by Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) transmission, and the optical modulation depth M _ op may be detected by detecting the f in the optical signalnThe power of the frequency component estimates the optical carrier power.

Hereinafter, an application scenario of the present application is exemplarily described. The LS signal originating modulation architecture provided by the embodiment of the present application as shown in fig. 1 includes a central micro-processing unit, a traffic signal and pilot signal synthesizing unit, a modulator, and a Laser Diode (LD). The central micro-processing unit comprises an amplitude control subunit and a channel associated information subunit. The amplitude control subunit controls the modulation amplitude of the top-modulation signal, and the channel associated information subunit controls the overhead of the channel associated, i.e. the information of the top-modulation signal. The service signal and the tuning signal synthesis unit synthesizes a high-frequency service signal and a low-frequency tuning signal and then loads the synthesized signals on the modulator together, and the modulator modulates the synthesized signals into stable high-frequency radio frequency oscillation signals and converts the signals into optical signals through LD (laser diode) for output.
In the scene of optical power detection and overhead transmission, the light modulation intensity (M _ op) is kept constant, the larger the intensity is, the better the intensity is, while the LS pilot is actually an auxiliary channel, the most important function of the channel is to transmit traffic information, the LS pilot is noise relative to the traffic channel information, the larger the modulation depth is, the higher the corresponding cost is, and therefore, the M _ op needs to be selected to be a proper value and kept constant. However, in the actual usage process, even if the electrical modulation signal loaded on the modulator can be kept unchanged, the transmission characteristic of the modulator itself will change with temperature and pressure drift and aging, and therefore, the optical modulation depth needs to be adjusted, wherein the optical signal intensity is continuously sampled at the transmitting end, the time series optical signal intensity obtained by continuous sampling is fourier-transformed to obtain corresponding frequency domain data, the low frequency band corresponding to the dc signal and the spectral data corresponding to the maximum value of the spectrum corresponding to the modulation signal are respectively searched, and the optical modulation depth obtained by calculating the ratio of the two values can be used for adjusting the optical modulation depth, but in this scheme, the continuous sampling needs to be at least twice the pilot frequency, the Micro Control Unit (MCU) of the analog to digital converter (ADC) with a high sampling rate is costly, and the ADC continuous sampling cannot perform other operations, in order to solve the above problem, the present application provides a method for adjusting a tune-top signal, including: the adjusting device converts a target optical signal into a digital signal, wherein the target optical signal is an optical signal which is acquired in real time and used for adjusting the modulation depth; the adjusting device counts and accumulates the digital signals in a preset period to obtain an accumulated value; the adjusting device adjusts the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal according to the relation between the accumulated value and the preset threshold value, and outputs the optical pilot tone signal, wherein the modulation signal is generated according to the digital signal and the adjustment amplitude, the optical pilot tone signal comprises the modulation signal, and the optical pilot tone signal is the target optical signal of the next period. In this way, the cost of the MCU can be saved and other operational uses of the ADC avoided being affected.
Based on the above application scenarios, a method for adjusting a tune signal provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.
The adjusting device of the embodiment of the application can keep the tuning-top depth at a constant value, and can only keep the tuning-top depth large enough to enable the pilot frequency information to have a signal-to-noise ratio large enough, so that the overhead information can be demodulated more conveniently.
First, the set top depth is maintained at a constant value.
Please refer to fig. 2, which illustrates an embodiment of a method for adjusting a pilot tone signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
201. The conditioning device receives a target optical signal.
The target optical signal is a signal synthesized by a service signal and a pilot signal, wherein the modulation depth of the pilot signal needs to be adjusted correspondingly in order to avoid the influence that the transmission characteristic of the modulator can also change along with temperature and pressure drift and aging. In the embodiment of the application, the adjusting device acquires the target optical signal for adjusting the modulation depth in real time.
202. The conditioning device converts the target optical signal into an electrical signal.
After monitoring the target optical signal, the adjusting device can convert the target optical signal into an electrical signal by a photoelectric effect in order to process the optical signal.
203. The regulating device divides the electrical signal into a direct current component and an alternating current component.
After the adjusting device obtains the electrical signal, since the average optical power value of the optical signal is not changed, adjusting the modulation depth only requires adjusting the amplitude of the optical signal, so that the electrical signal can be divided into a direct current component and an alternating current component, so as to adjust the modulation amplitude of the alternating current component in the following.
204. The adjusting device calculates an average light power value based on the direct current component.
In this embodiment, the adjusting device may perform correlation calculation on the dc component divided by the electrical signal based on the correlation description of the calculated optical power in the LS signal detection, so as to obtain an average optical power value.
205. And the adjusting device calculates the modulation amplitude according to the average light power value and the preset light modulation depth.
In this embodiment, the average optical power P _ avg, the preset optical modulation depth M _ op, and the modulation amplitude P _ wt are preset constant modulation depths of the set top signal. The present embodiment can be based on the following formula
Figure BDA0002876783260000061
And calculating to obtain the modulation amplitude.
206. The adjusting means sets the threshold level in dependence on the modulation amplitude.
In this embodiment, the module for converting the ac component into the digital signal may be a comparator or an analog-to-digital converter, the comparator does not need to determine a specific value of the ac component and can quickly convert the ac component into the digital signal, the two analog-to-digital converters need a high-speed ADC for realizing quick conversion, and the MCU including the ADC has a high cost. The present embodiment can set the comparison threshold level V _ ref of the comparator according to the modulation amplitude P _ wt and the modulation depth M _ op as described above. The threshold level may be used for calculation of a decision level in the comparator, i.e. a decision level for the ac component may be obtained by calculation of the threshold level and the associated resistance value.
207. The adjustment means amplifies the alternating current component.
In the photoelectric module, the optical power of the detected optical signal is generally in the magnitude from μ W to mW, the current for converting the optical signal into an electrical signal is in the magnitude of nA, and for such weak current, the input current value cannot be accurately obtained by a general measurement method. The ac component can be amplified for processing by both current-to-voltage conversion (IV conversion) and current-to-frequency conversion (IF conversion).
Step 204 to step 206 may also be executed simultaneously with step 207 or after step 207, and only need to be executed before step 208.
208. The regulating device converts the amplified alternating current component into a digital signal.
In this embodiment, the adjusting device may convert the amplified alternating current component into a digital signal according to a relationship between the alternating current component and the decision level.
209. The adjusting device counts and accumulates the digital signals in a preset period to obtain an accumulated value.
In this embodiment, the predetermined period is a modulation period, and the modulation period is a continuous "1" signal whose ac component is greater than the decision level in step 208. Since the general overhead-carrying pilot signal is a "1" signal that modulates a sinusoidal signal of a particular frequency, while the "0" signal has no low-frequency modulation signal, the effective count period should be within one clock cycle and the duration of the overhead signal being a "1". The adjusting device counts and accumulates the "1" signal to obtain an accumulated value, for example, the adjusting device triggers the counter to clear and start counting at a rising edge of one clock of the digital signal, and triggers reading back the counting result at the next rising edge of the clock, such as the accumulated value mentioned above.
210. When the accumulated value is larger than the preset threshold value, the adjusting device reduces the modulation amplitude of the top-adjusting signal.
211. And when the accumulated value is smaller than the preset threshold value, the adjusting device increases the modulation amplitude of the tuning signal.
In steps 210 and 211, the adjusting device may adjust the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal based on the relationship between the accumulated value and the preset threshold, for example, as shown in the adjustment method flowchart shown in fig. 3, step 301 is to read the accumulated value counter by the adjusting device, step 302 is to calculate the comparison result Flag _ old of the counter and the preset threshold T as counter-T, that is, step 303 may be executed to adjust the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal according to the sign of Flag _ old, for example, when Flag _ old is a positive number, the adjusting device decreases the modulation amplitude of the pilot signal, and when Flag _ old is a negative number, the adjusting device increases the modulation amplitude of the pilot signal.
212. The adjusting device outputs an optical pilot tone signal including the pilot tone signal after adjusting the modulation amplitude to use the optical pilot tone signal as the target optical signal of the next period, and step 201 is executed again until the accumulated values of two adjacent periods are on both sides of the preset threshold, and the modulation amplitude corresponding to the accumulated value with a smaller difference between the accumulated value and the preset threshold is selected.
After the adjusting device adjusts the top-tone signal, the top-tone signal and the service signal are synthesized and converted into an optical signal to be sent out, and the adjusted optical signal can be used as a target optical signal of the next period for further adjustment. For example, as shown in fig. 3, in step 304, the adjusting apparatus reads the accumulated value counter again based on the target optical signal of the next cycle, step 305 is a new comparison result, Flag _ new is counter-T, step 306 determines whether the signs of Flag _ new and Flag _ old are the same, i.e. it can determine whether Flag _ new Flag _ old < 0 is accurate, if not, step 307 is executed, Flag _ old Flag _ new waits for the next target optical signal to execute step 303 again, if accurate, step 308 is executed to determine whether abs (Flag _ new) < abs (Flag _ old) is accurate, if abs (Flag _ new) is greater than abs (Flag _ old), step 309 is executed to reduce the amplitude of the top-modulated signal by one step cycle (step), if abs (Flag _ new) is less than abs (Flag _ old), then the adjustment depth is set to the minimum value, the adjustment depth is adjusted to the minimum value, and the adjustment depth is set to the minimum value of the top-modulated signal, step 310 may be performed to stop the adjustment.
The adjusting device converts the target optical signal into a digital signal and counts and accumulates the digital signal in a preset period to obtain an accumulated value, adjusts the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal in the optical pilot tone signal according to the accumulated value and a preset threshold value, and readjusts the adjusted pilot tone signal as the target optical signal of the next period without continuously sampling by the ADC, so that the cost can be saved, and other operations and uses of the ADC are not influenced.
Furthermore, an operational amplifier comparator (most of the MCUs are integrated in the MCU) is added, and even a digital input/output (IO) can be used in a part of scenes instead of the comparator, so that the method has no extra cost or hardware cost.
And secondly, only enough great topping depth is kept.
Please refer to fig. 4, which shows another embodiment of a method for adjusting a pilot tone signal according to an embodiment of the present application.
401. The conditioning device receives a target optical signal.
402. The conditioning device converts the target optical signal into an electrical signal.
403. The regulating device divides the electrical signal into a direct current component and an alternating current component.
404. The adjusting device calculates an average light power value based on the direct current component.
405. And the adjusting device calculates the modulation amplitude according to the average light power value and the preset light modulation depth.
406. The adjusting means sets the threshold level in dependence on the modulation amplitude.
407. The adjustment means amplifies the alternating current component.
408. The regulating device converts the amplified alternating current component into a digital signal.
409. The adjusting device counts and accumulates the digital signals in a preset period to obtain an accumulated value.
In this embodiment, reference may be made to the related description in steps 201 to 209 in steps 401 to 409, which are not described herein again.
410. And when the accumulated value is smaller than the preset threshold value, the adjusting device increases the modulation amplitude of the tuning signal.
In steps 210 and 211, the adjusting device may adjust the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal based on the relationship between the accumulated value and the preset threshold, for example, as shown in the adjustment method flowchart illustrated in fig. 5, step 501 is that the adjusting device reads the accumulated value counter, step 502 is to determine whether the counter is greater than the preset threshold T, for example, the counter > T, when the counter is less than T, step 503 is executed to increase the modulation amplitude of the top-tuning signal, each time the adjustment amplitude is a unit step of electrical modulation amplitude control, and the controllable minimum unit step is the detection accuracy of the present solution. If counter is greater than T, then step 504 is performed to stop the adjustment.
411. The adjusting device outputs an optical pilot tone signal including the pilot tone signal after the modulation amplitude is adjusted to use the optical pilot tone signal as the target optical signal of the next period, and step 401 is executed again until the accumulated value is greater than the preset threshold value.
And after adjusting the top-tone signal, the adjusting device synthesizes the top-tone signal and the service signal, converts the top-tone signal into an optical signal and sends out the optical signal, and if the counter is less than T, the adjusted optical signal can be used as a target optical signal of the next period for further adjustment. For example, as shown in fig. 5, after the adjusting device increases the modulation amplitude of the pilot tone signal and outputs the target optical signal of the next period in step 503, step 501 is executed again in the process of adjusting the modulation amplitude, if the counter is still less than T, step 503 is executed continuously until the counter of the adjusted optical pilot tone signal is greater than T, and step 504 is executed to stop the adjustment.
The adjusting device converts the target optical signal into a digital signal and counts and accumulates in a preset period to obtain an accumulated value, adjusts the modulation amplitude of the modulation signal in the optical pilot tone signal according to the accumulated value and a preset threshold value, and readjusts the adjusted pilot tone signal as the target optical signal of the next period without continuously sampling by the ADC, so that the cost can be saved, and other operations and uses of the ADC are not influenced.
