Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of optical communications, and in particular, to an optical device, an optical module, an optical communication apparatus, and an optical communication method.
Background
In a single-fiber bidirectional optical communication system, two communication devices transmit optical signals in two directions through one optical fiber, so that optical fiber resources can be saved.
However, the communication apparatus may receive a reflected light signal of the optical signal transmitted from the local terminal. For example, an optical communication device transmits a first optical signal at a first wavelength to an optical network device over an optical fiber. The optical communication device receives a second optical signal at a second wavelength from the optical network device over the same optical fiber. Reflective end faces are present at the junctions of optical fibers and other optical devices. Accordingly, the optical communication device receives the reflected optical signal of the first optical signal. For optical communication devices, the reflected signal is of a disturbing optical signal. For this, after receiving a mixed optical signal including the disturbing optical signal and the second optical signal, the optical communication device may filter out the disturbing optical signal through a filter to obtain the second optical signal. In the foregoing example, the wavelength of the disturbing optical signal is a first wavelength and the wavelength of the second optical signal is a second wavelength. In practical applications, before the optical communication device and the optical network device do not agree on a communication wavelength, the optical communication device cannot determine the communication wavelength with the optical network device. For example, the wavelength of the interfering optical signal may be the second wavelength and the wavelength of the second optical signal may be the first wavelength.
Therefore, the optical communication apparatus takes a lot of time to adjust the filtering wavelength of the filter, thereby lowering communication efficiency.
Disclosure of Invention
The application provides an optical device, an optical module, optical communication equipment and an optical communication method, wherein two paths of optical signals output by two PD receiving filters can reduce the adjusting time of the filters, so that the communication efficiency is improved.
A first aspect of the present application provides a light device. The optical device includes a light source, a first filter, a second filter, an input/output port, a first Photodetector (PD), and a second PD. The light source is used for generating a first optical signal with a first wavelength. The optical source is used for transmitting a first optical signal to the input/output port through the first filter. The input/output ports may be connected to the optical network device by optical fibers. The input/output port is used for outputting a first optical signal and receiving a second optical signal with a second wavelength. The input/output port is used for transmitting the second optical signal to the first filter. The first filter is configured to receive the mixed optical signal and transmit the mixed optical signal to the second filter. The second filter is used to split the mixed optical signal into two optical signals. The two optical signals include a second optical signal and a first interfering optical signal of a first wavelength generated by the first optical signal. The first PD is configured to receive one of the two optical signals. The second PD is for receiving the other of the two optical signals. For example, the second filter filters the second electrical signal by a reflection function. When the filtering wavelength of the second filter is the first wavelength, the second filter transmits the second optical signal and the second filter reflects the first interference optical signal. At this time, the first PD is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal. The second PD is used for receiving the second optical signal and obtaining a second electric signal. In the subsequent process, the optical communication device may demodulate the second electrical signal. When the filtering wavelength of the second filter is a second wavelength, the second filter transmits the first interference optical signal, and the second filter reflects the second optical signal. At this time, the first PD is configured to receive the second optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal, and the second PD is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a second electrical signal. In the subsequent process, the optical communication device may demodulate the first electrical signal.
In the present application, the optical device may not need to adjust the filtering wavelength of the second filter regardless of whether the optical device uses the first wavelength or the second wavelength. Therefore, by receiving the two optical signals output from the filters by the two PDs, the adjustment time of the filters can be reduced, thereby improving the communication efficiency.

Specifically, the first filter transmits a first optical signal at a first wavelength. The first filter reflects a second optical signal at a second wavelength. If the energy of the reflected light signal of the first optical signal is greater than a certain threshold value, it indicates that the filtering wavelength of the first filter needs to be adjusted continuously. Therefore, by adding the third PD, the accuracy of the adjusted filtering wavelength can be increased, thereby improving the communication quality.
In an alternative form of the first aspect, the optical module further comprises an isolator. An isolator is between the light source and the first filter. The isolator is used for isolating a second interference optical signal with a first wavelength generated by the first optical signal. The second interference optical signal reflected back to the light source along the link and the first optical signal generated by the light source generate an interference phenomenon, which affects the quality of the first optical signal output by the light source. In the application, the second interference optical signal can be isolated by adding the isolator, so that the communication quality is improved. Similarly, an isolator may also be used to isolate the second optical signal.

The optical switch is used for receiving the first electric signal and the second electric signal and outputting a target electric signal according to the control signal. The target electrical signal is an electrical signal with a larger current or voltage in the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal. By adding the comparator and the optical switch, the number of subsequent electronic devices can be reduced, and the cost of the optical module is reduced.
In an optional manner of the second aspect, the demodulation module further includes a Trans Impedance Amplifier (TIA) unit. The comparator is used for comparing the magnitude of the first electric signal amplified by the TIA unit and the magnitude of the second electric signal amplified by the TIA unit.

Detailed Description
The application provides an optical device, an optical module, optical communication equipment and an optical communication method, wherein two paths of optical signals output by two PD receiving filters can reduce the adjusting time of the filters, so that the communication efficiency is improved.
It is to be understood that the use of "first," "second," "target," and the like, herein are for purposes of descriptive differentiation only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor order. In addition, reference numerals and/or letters are repeated among the various figures of the present application for sake of brevity and clarity. Repetition does not indicate a strict, restrictive relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations.
The optical device in the application is applied to the field of optical communication, and particularly can be applied to a single-fiber bidirectional optical communication system. In a single-fiber bidirectional optical communication system, optical communication equipment and optical network equipment transmit optical signals with different wavelengths in two directions through one optical fiber. The optical communication device filters the interference optical signal of the first wavelength generated by the local terminal through the filter. However, before the optical communication device and the optical network device do not agree on the communication wavelength, the optical communication device cannot determine the communication wavelength with the optical network device. For example, the wavelength of the interfering optical signal may be either the first wavelength or the second wavelength. Therefore, the optical communication apparatus takes a lot of time to adjust the filtering wavelength of the filter, thereby lowering communication efficiency.
To this end, the present application provides a light device. An optical communication apparatus includes the optical device. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a first structure of a light device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the optical device 101 includes a light source 102, a first filter 103, an input-output port 104, a second filter 105, a first PD 106, and a second PD 107.
The light source 102 may be a tunable laser. Such as Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers, distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) lasers, external cavity lasers, etc. The light source 102 is configured to generate a first optical signal at a first wavelength. The first optical signal is transmitted through the first filter 103. The first filter 103 may be a Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) filter. The optical source 102 is configured to transmit a first optical signal to the input/output port 104 via the first filter 103. The input/output port 104 may be connected to an optical fiber or an optical fiber adapter. The other end of the optical fiber may be connected to optical network equipment. The input/output port 104 is used for outputting a first optical signal. The input/output port 104 is also for receiving a second optical signal at a second wavelength. The input/output port 104 is used for transmitting the second optical signal to the first filter 103.
Due to the presence of a reflective end face, such as an optical fiber end face, an end face of the input/output port 104, etc., the first filter 103 may receive a reflected optical signal of the first optical signal on the reflective end face. The reflected light signal includes an interfering light signal at a first wavelength. At this time, the first filter 103 is used to receive the mixed optical signal. The mixed optical signal includes the second optical signal and the disturbing optical signal. The surface of the first filter 103 reflects the mixed optical signal and transmits the mixed optical signal to the second filter 105. The second filter 105 is used to split the mixed optical signal into two optical signals. The two optical signals include a second optical signal and a first interfering optical signal of a first wavelength generated by the first optical signal. The first disturbing optical signal may be a part of the optical signal of the disturbing optical signal. See the following description relating to the second disturbing light signal.
The first PD 106 is configured to receive one of two optical signals. The second PD107 is for receiving the other of the two optical signals. For example, assume that the second filter 105 filters the second electrical signal by a reflection function. When the filtering wavelength of the second filter 105 is the first wavelength, the second filter 105 transmits the second optical signal and the second filter 105 reflects the first disturbing optical signal. At this time, the first PD 106 is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal. The second PD107 is configured to receive the second optical signal and obtain a second electrical signal. When the filter wavelength of the second filter 105 is the second wavelength, the second filter 105 transmits the first interference optical signal and the second filter 105 reflects the second optical signal. At this time, the first PD 106 is configured to receive the second optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal, and the second PD107 is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a second electrical signal.
Therefore, regardless of whether the wavelength of the first disturbing optical signal is the first wavelength or the second wavelength, the optical device 101 may not need to adjust the filtering wavelength of the second filter 105. In the present application, by receiving two optical signals output from the second filter 105 by two PDs, the adjustment time of the filters can be reduced, thereby improving the communication efficiency. Also, to reduce the cost of the optical device 101, the second filter may be a non-tunable filter. An untuned filter is also referred to as an untuned filter. The non-tunable filter may be a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) filter or a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) filter, etc.
In the aforementioned optical device 101 of fig. 1, the two PDs are respectively configured to receive the transmitted light signal and the reflected light signal output by the second filter 105. To increase the flexibility of the location of the two PDs, the optical device 101 may also include a light-reflecting sheet. The second PD107 is for receiving the other of the two optical signals through the reflector. For example, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of the optical device provided in the present application. The description of the relevant devices in fig. 2 may refer to the description of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the light device 101 further includes a light reflecting sheet 201. The reflector 201 is used to receive the transmitted light signal output by the second filter 105. The light-reflecting sheet 201 serves to transmit the reflected transmitted light signal to the second PD 107.
As can be seen from the foregoing description of fig. 1, the first filter 103 is used for transmitting the first optical signal and reflecting the second optical signal. However, before the optical device and the optical network equipment do not agree on the communication wavelength, the communication wavelengths of the first optical signal and the second optical signal are unknown. Therefore, the optical device needs to adjust the filtering wavelength of the first filter 103, so that the first filter 103 is used to transmit the first optical signal and reflect the second optical signal. After the optical device and the optical network equipment agree on a communication wavelength, the optical device 101 needs to check the filtering wavelength of the first filter 103. Accordingly, the optical device 101 may further include a third PD. As shown in fig. 2, the third PD 203 is configured to receive a reflected optical signal of the first optical signal on the first filter 103. If the energy of the reflected light signal received by the third PD 203 is greater than a certain threshold, it means that the transmittance of the first light signal on the first filter 103 is too low. The optical device 101 needs to continue to adjust the filtering wavelength of the first filter. If the energy of the reflected light signal received by the third PD 203 is less than or equal to the threshold, it indicates that the transmittance of the first light signal on the first filter 103 meets the requirement. The optical device 101 may maintain the current state of the first filter 103.
As can be seen from the foregoing description of fig. 1, the first filter 103 is used for transmitting the first optical signal and reflecting the second optical signal. Therefore, when the mixed optical signal received by the first filter 103 includes the interference optical signal of the first wavelength, a part of the interference optical signal of the first wavelength may be transmitted through the first filter 103. At this time, the disturbing light signal transmitted through the first filter 103 is also referred to as a second disturbing light signal. The second interference optical signal returns to the light source along the transmission path of the first optical signal, and the second interference optical signal reflected to the light source interferes with the first optical signal emitted by the light source, so that the quality of the first optical signal is affected. To this end, the optical device 101 may further include an isolator 202. As shown in fig. 2, the optical source 102 is configured to transmit a first optical signal to the input/output port 104 through the isolator 202 and the first filter 103. The isolator 202 is configured to transmit the first optical signal. Isolator 202 is also used to isolate a second interfering optical signal of the first wavelength generated by the first optical signal.
Similarly, part of the second optical signal may also be transmitted through the first filter 103. The second optical signal transmitted through the first filter 103 returns to the optical source along the transmission path of the first optical signal. At this time, the second optical signal reflected to the light source interferes with the first optical signal emitted by the light source, thereby affecting the quality of the first optical signal. Thus, the isolator 202 may also be used to isolate the second optical signal.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, the optical device 101 may be connected to an optical network device through an optical fiber. To confirm whether the optical device 101 is connected to the optical network equipment, the optical device 101 may detect the second optical signal. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the optical device 101 further includes an optical splitter 204 and a fourth PD 205. The optical splitter 204 is configured to receive the second optical signal from the input/output port 104. The optical splitter 204 is configured to split a portion of the optical signal from the second optical signal. Part of the optical signal is also referred to as the measurement optical signal. The fourth PD 205 is for receiving the measurement optical signal. Through the fourth PD 205, it can be determined whether the optical fiber is connected to the optical network device. And, when the second optical signal carries the tuning signal, the fourth PD 205 may determine the wavelength of the second optical signal.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, the wavelength of the first optical signal may be either the first wavelength or the second wavelength. To reduce the cost of the light source 102, the optical device may adjust the wavelength of the first optical signal by controlling the temperature of the TEC. Specifically, the light source 102 includes a laser and a Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC). The TEC is used to adjust the wavelength of the first optical signal output by the laser by changing the temperature.
It should be understood that the optical device 101 shown in fig. 1 and 2 is merely one or more examples provided in this application. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can adapt the method according to the needs. After the adaptive change, if the optical device 101 receives the two optical signals output by the second filter through the two PDs, the optical device should still fall within the protection scope of the present application. The adaptation includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following.
For example, in fig. 2, the optical device 101 further includes a convex lens. The convex lens is used for focusing the second optical signal output by the optical splitter 204 to obtain the second optical signal with more concentrated energy. The convex lens transmits the focused second optical signal to the first filter 103.
For example, in fig. 1 and 2, the first filter 103 is used to transmit a first optical signal and reflect a second optical signal. In practical applications, the positions of the light source 102 and the second filter 105 may be interchanged. At this time, the first filter 103 is used to reflect the first optical signal and transmit the second optical signal. Similarly, in fig. 1 and 2, the first PD 106 is configured to receive the reflected optical signal of the second filter 105. The second PD107 is for receiving the transmitted light signal of the second filter 105. In practical applications, the positions of the first PD 106 and the second PD107 may be interchanged. At this time, the first PD 106 is configured to receive the transmitted light signal of the second filter 105. The second PD107 is configured to receive the reflected optical signal of the second filter 105.
For example, in fig. 2, the reflective sheet 201 is used to reflect the transmitted light signal of the second filter 105. In practical applications, the reflector 201 may be used to reflect the reflected light signal of the second filter 105.
The optical device in the present application is described above. The following describes an optical module in the present application.

The optical communication apparatus in the present application is described above, and the optical communication method in the present application is described below. Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an optical communication method provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the optical communication method includes the following steps.
In step 901, an optical communication device transmits a first optical signal at a first wavelength.
In step 902, the optical communication device receives a mixed optical signal. The mixed optical signal includes a first interfering optical signal at a first wavelength and a second optical signal at a second wavelength generated by the first optical signal. The reflecting end surface in the transmission path of the first optical signal reflects the first optical signal to form a first interference optical signal with a first wavelength. When transmission paths of the first optical signal and the second optical signal overlap, for example, the first optical signal and the second optical signal in two directions are transmitted through one optical fiber, and the first interference optical signal and the second optical signal are mixed to obtain a mixed optical signal.
In step 903, the optical communication device splits the mixed optical signal into two optical signals. The two optical signals include a second optical signal and a first disturbing optical signal. For the optical communication device, the first disturbing optical signal is a disturbing signal. Since the wavelengths of the first disturbing optical signal and the second optical signal are different, the optical communication device may divide the mixed optical signal into the second optical signal and the first disturbing optical signal through the second filter.
In step 904, the optical communication device performs optical-electrical conversion on one of the two optical signals by the first PD to obtain a first electrical signal.
In step 905, the optical communication apparatus performs optical-electrical conversion on the other of the two optical signals by the second PD to obtain a second electrical signal. It should be understood that there is no strict timing constraint between step 904 and step 905.
The second filter may filter the second electrical signal by a transmission function or a reflection function. It is assumed that the second filter filters the second electrical signal by a reflection function. When the filtering wavelength of the second filter is the first wavelength, the second filter transmits the second optical signal, and the second filter reflects the first interference optical signal. At this time, the first PD is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal. The second PD is used for receiving the second optical signal and obtaining a second electric signal. In the subsequent process, the optical communication device may demodulate the second electrical signal. When the filtering wavelength of the second filter is a second wavelength, the second filter transmits the first interference optical signal, and the second filter reflects the second optical signal. At this time, the first PD is configured to receive the second optical signal to obtain a first electrical signal, and the second PD is configured to receive the first interference optical signal to obtain a second electrical signal. In the subsequent process, the optical communication device may demodulate the first electrical signal. Therefore, the optical communication apparatus may not need to adjust the filtering wavelength of the second filter regardless of whether the wavelength of the first optical signal is the first wavelength or the second wavelength. Therefore, the adjusting time of the filter can be reduced, and the communication efficiency is improved.
