Description

Optical network detection method, optical transceiver module and optical network equipment
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of optical communication technologies, and in particular, to an optical network detection method, an optical transceiver module, and an optical network device.
Background
The rise of high-bandwidth services such as internet of things, 5G, cloud computing and the like greatly promotes the development of an Optical Transport Network (OTN) on Network scale and data carrying capacity.
An Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) is used to monitor and manage a network element state, and mainly transmits services such as protection switching, monitoring, and information overhead, and currently, a main stream OTN device uses a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Optical module with low cost to output an OSC Optical signal modulated by a hundred-mega signal rate and On-OFF Keying (OOK).
An Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is mainly used for implementing Optical fiber line monitoring, where offline monitoring, such as detection of an Optical fiber length at an open stage and a same cable, and rapid positioning of a fiber breaking position when a fault occurs, can be implemented in a scene where OSC service is interrupted; on-line monitoring can also be realized in a scene that the OSC service is not interrupted, for example, the optical cable line is subjected to periodic OTDR monitoring, and timely early warning of fiber breakage and aging faults is realized. The basic principle of OTDR is to send an optical signal from the beginning of an optical fiber into the optical fiber, and because of the backward rayleigh scattering and fresnel reflection in the optical fiber, part of the light returns to the beginning of the optical fiber, and this part of the scattered light and the reflected light contain the information of the optical fiber line, and can be used to monitor the optical fiber.
Promoting the integration level of OTN devices, reducing power consumption and compression cost are key points for promoting product competitiveness, and a technical scheme capable of integrating OSC and OTDR functions on one board or one optical module is urgently needed.

In order to make the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure more clearly understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below by specific examples:
example one
The present embodiment does not limit the type of using OTDR, that is, supports both a sequence type and a pulse type. Preferably, a sequence OTDR (e.g., M sequence, gray code sequence, etc.) is used, because the dynamic range performance of the pulse OTDR is limited under the condition of limited power, if the sequence OTDR is used, the characteristic that the OTDR measurement in this embodiment has no influence on the OSC service can be fully utilized, and the noise suppression performance can be improved by coding gain, increasing the operation complexity and the calculation time, thereby realizing the large dynamic range monitoring of the optical cable.
As shown in fig. 2, the OSC baseband signal may be denoted as a OSC (t) =0,1., OTDR baseband signal may be expressed as a OTDR (t) =0,1.. Since OSC baseband signal bandwidth is typically hundreds of MHz in magnitude and OTDR signal bandwidth is typically KHz to several MHz in magnitude, it appears to be wide and narrow in spectrum. The method comprises the steps that sine waves with the frequency f generated by a frequency source are divided into two parts by an electric splitter, the sine waves and OTDR baseband signals pass through a first multiplier to realize the up-conversion frequency shift operation with the frequency f on the OTDR baseband signals, and the OTDR baseband signals are shifted to the sideband position of OSC baseband signals, namely 2B OSC,3dB It can be expressed as:
f=2×B OSC,3dB (1)
further, an OTDR baseband frequency conversion signal amplitude value is controlled, so that the amplitude coefficient is m. The electric signal adjusts the signal amplitude through a driver, then adds the up-converted OTDR signal and the OSC signal through an adder, loads the added signal on an optical carrier generated by a laser through a modulator, and then enters an optical fiber to be monitored through a combiner-splitter (wherein the combiner-splitter may be an optical coupler, a light splitting sheet, an optical circulator, preferably an optical circulator), and the optical power of the signal can be expressed as (ignoring insertion loss):

wherein m is the amplitude coefficient of the OTDR baseband signal,
Figure BDA0003752859370000092
to an initial phase, P in Is the input optical power.
For the OSC service, neglecting the optical fiber transmission loss, taking back-to-back transmission as an example, the receiving side performs photoelectric conversion and electrical analog signal amplification through the first photoelectric conversion unit, and the signal at the receiving side can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003752859370000093
wherein k is the gain of the photoelectric conversion unit and the pass bandwidth is 2B OSC,3dB (i.e.: B) LPF,1 =2B OSC,3dB ) Demodulates the received OSC signal, an OSC voltage signal RX OSC Can be expressed as:
RX OSC =A OSC (t)kP in (4)
wherein A is OSC (t) is OSC baseband signal, k is gain of the photoelectric conversion unit, P in Is the input optical power. And then the OSC analog signal is filtered, sampled, judged and the like by the first signal processing unit to recover the OSC service.
For the OTDR service, after the receiving side performs photoelectric conversion and amplification through the second photoelectric conversion unit, the collected signal is a backward rayleigh scattering signal generated by two services, namely OSC and OTDR in the channel, and what we need is the backward rayleigh scattering signal generated by the OTDR service, so that we divide the signal and a sine wave with frequency f generated by the frequency source into two parts through the electrical splitter, and then pass through the second multiplier to implement down-conversion operation on the signal, and move the backward rayleigh scattering signal generated by the OTDR service to a zero-frequency position, where the signal can be represented as:
Figure BDA0003752859370000101
wherein hb (t) is the unit impulse response of the fiber backward Rayleigh scattering system,
Figure BDA0003752859370000102
in order to determine the phase of the local oscillator radio frequency signal,
Figure BDA0003752859370000103
is a convolution operation. Further, the pass bandwidth is equal to 2 times the OTDR baseband signal bandwidth (i.e. B) LPF,2 =2B OTDR,3dB ) The second low-pass filter filters out a double frequency component and backward Rayleigh scattering generated by the double frequency component, and an OTDR voltage signal at the receiving side can be obtained through a direct detection mode.
And further, the detailed information of the optical fiber link can be obtained by filtering, ADC sampling, sequence OTDR related operation and the like of the OTDR backward Rayleigh scattering analog signal through the second signal processing unit.
