Description

Control method and device for low-noise multi-pump EDFA
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a control method and a device of a low-noise multi-pump EDFA.
Background
The erbium-doped fiber amplifier (Erbium Doped Fiber Application, abbreviated as EDFA) greatly accelerates the development of optical communication, and has the advantages of transparency to data format and speed, large gain noise, no need of an electric regeneration repeater and large gain bandwidth, and the like. Noise figure is a key indicator of an EDFA, which characterizes the degree of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio of the input optical signal caused by the EDFA, especially in a front-end EDFA and an intermediate-stage EDFA, where the noise figure directly affects the bit error rate of the small signal in the receiver. EDFAs are indispensable important devices in dense optical wave multiplexing systems. In the dense optical wave multiplexing system, as the traffic volume increases, the number of channels and the channel power of the upper and lower optical paths are also rapidly increased, and the change of the number of channels causes the change of the input optical power of the EDFA so as to generate transient effects, which have important influence on the stability of the dense optical wave multiplexing system.
In order to realize larger output optical power, a multi-pump cascade optical path structure is often adopted in the EDFA module, wherein the influence of the current proportion of the rear-stage pump on the output power of the EDFA is far greater than that of the front-stage pump, so that the over-undershoot amplitude in the transient effect can be obviously reduced by increasing the current proportion of the rear-stage pump. However, under the condition of unchanged gain, the current proportion of the post-stage physical pump is increased while the current proportion of the pre-stage physical pump is reduced, and the influence of the current proportion of the pre-stage pump on the EDFA noise index is remarkable, so that the noise index and the transient performance often have the problem of mutual restriction in a multi-pump cascade optical path.
In view of this, overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art is a problem to be solved in the art.

Example 1:
the embodiment of the invention provides a control method of a low-noise multi-pump EDFA, as shown in fig. 1, the method flow comprises the following steps:
In step 101, an initial current ratio and an initial bias amount of each pump in the optical fiber amplifier are set.
In this embodiment, the optical fiber amplifier is an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, and includes a plurality of pumps, including a front-stage pump and a rear-stage pump according to a cascade sequence of each pump; the ratio of the current of the rear-stage pump is greatly greater than that of the front-stage pump, so that the ratio of the current of the rear-stage pump to the current of the front-stage pump can be increased to obviously reduce the over undershoot amplitude in the transient effect, the ratio of the current of the rear-stage pump to the current of the front-stage pump is increased under the condition of unchanged gain, the ratio of the current of the front-stage pump to the current of the rear-stage pump is reduced, and the ratio of the current of the front-stage pump to the current of the rear-stage pump has obvious influence on the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier, so that the noise index and the transient performance often have the problem of mutual restriction in a multi-pump cascade optical path.
The transient performance of the optical fiber amplifier can be influenced by adjusting the current ratio of each pump, and the noise figure of the optical fiber amplifier can be influenced by adjusting the offset of each pump. Before starting to enter iterative adjustment, the initial current proportion and the initial offset of each pump are set, so that the current proportion and the offset which are initially input to the iteration are guaranteed to be as excellent as possible, the subsequent iteration times are reduced, the noise indexes corresponding to the initial current proportion and the initial offset are guaranteed to be as small as possible, and the transient performance is improved as much as possible on the basis of guaranteeing the small noise indexes.
In this embodiment, according to the cascade sequence of each pump, the initial current ratio of the second pump and the subsequent pumps generally needs to be not higher than 85% and not lower than 75%, so that the initial current ratio of the first pump in the cascade pump can be set to 100%, and the initial current values of the second pump and the subsequent other pumps can be set to 75% -85%; the initial offset may be set to 0.
In step 102, the highest target gain and the lowest target gain of the optical fiber amplifier are set, and the initial current proportion and the initial bias amount are input into a first round of iteration, so that the bias amount and the current proportion of the pump are optimized through at least one iteration calculation.
In this embodiment, the target gain may be an amplification factor of the optical fiber amplifier, and when the target gain is gradually increased, the corresponding input optical power input to the optical fiber amplifier needs to be increased synchronously.
In step 103, each iteration includes: adjusting the bias quantity of each pump in the gain interval of the lowest target gain and the highest target gain until the noise index requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is met, and obtaining the optimized bias quantity; and in the gain interval of the lowest target gain and the highest target gain, adjusting the current proportion of each pump according to the current target gain, the current input optical power and the current output optical power until the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is met, and obtaining the optimized current proportion.
In step 104, in the gain interval of the lowest target gain and the highest target gain, checking whether the optical fiber amplifier meets the noise figure requirement, if yes, jumping to step 105, and if not, jumping to step 106.
Inputting the minimum input power corresponding to the minimum target gain and the minimum input power corresponding to the maximum target gain into the optical fiber amplifier respectively, starting to gradually increase the input power from the minimum input power until one pump reaches the maximum current or the maximum input power corresponding to the current target gain, continuously judging whether the noise index requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is met in the process of increasing the input power, and continuously adjusting the bias of each pump in a preset window period on the basis of the initial bias when the noise index requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is not met, so as to ensure that the noise index requirement of the optical fiber amplifier can be continuously met; the noise figure requirement of the optical fiber amplifier can be: the noise figure is lower than a preset noise figure value, and the noise figure margin is smaller than or equal to a first preset margin; the preset window period, the preset noise figure value and the first preset margin are all set by a person skilled in the art according to actual conditions.
On the basis of the bias adjustment, inputting the minimum input power corresponding to the minimum target gain and the minimum input power corresponding to the maximum target gain into the optical fiber amplifier again, starting to gradually increase the input power from the minimum input power until one pump reaches the maximum current or the maximum input power corresponding to the current target gain, continuously judging whether the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is met according to the fed back output optical power in the process of increasing the input power, and continuously adjusting the current proportion of each pump in a preset window period according to proportional integral control on the basis of the initial current proportion if the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is not met, so as to ensure that the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier can be met; wherein, the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier can be: the transient performance index of the optical fiber amplifier is lower than a preset transient performance requirement, and the margin of the transient performance index of the optical fiber amplifier is smaller than or equal to a second preset margin value; wherein the preset transient performance requirement and the second preset margin value are set by one skilled in the art at his own discretion.
In step 105, when the optical fiber amplifier meets the noise figure requirement, the optimized bias and the optimized current proportion are used as parameters to be configured.
In step 106, when the optical fiber amplifier does not meet the noise figure requirement, the optimized bias and the optimized current proportion are input into the next iteration.
Because the current proportion and the offset of each pump are difficult to debug in single-round iteration, the noise index requirement and the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier are difficult to be met at one time, and the noise index requirement and the transient performance requirement are difficult to be simultaneously considered in each pump adjustment, in the embodiment, the noise index and the transient performance are monitored by acquiring the input optical power and the output optical power in real time, when the noise index and/or the transient performance are judged to be problematic, corresponding correction parameters are generated to finely adjust the current proportion and/or the offset of each pump, and in multi-round iteration debugging, the offset and the current proportion which can meet the noise index requirement and the transient performance requirement are finally output, so that the transient performance of the optical fiber amplifier is optimized on the basis of reducing the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier.
In the process of increasing the input power, judging whether the optical fiber amplifier meets the noise figure requirement in real time, so as to synchronously adjust the offset of each pump, and specifically comprising the following steps:
And when the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier exceeds the noise index requirement, increasing the offset of the front-stage pump or reducing the offset of the rear-stage pump until the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier is lower than the noise index requirement, and taking the adjusted offset as the optimized offset.
And when the margin of the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier is larger than a first preset margin value, reducing the offset of the front-stage pump or increasing the offset of the rear-stage pump until the margin of the noise index of the optical fiber amplifier is smaller than or equal to the first preset margin value, and taking the adjusted offset as the optimized offset.
The method comprises the steps of acquiring the value of input optical power and the value of output optical power of the optical fiber amplifier through corresponding modules, monitoring the current transient performance of the optical fiber amplifier through the value of the input optical power, correspondingly adjusting the current input optical power and the output optical power according to the current input optical power and the output optical power when judging that the transient effect occurs on an optical path, obtaining corresponding adjustment parameters according to proportional integral control, and carrying out feedback adjustment on the current proportion of each pump in a debugging window, thereby carrying out adjustment on the current proportion of each pump according to the transient performance state of the current optical fiber amplifier in real time, wherein the corresponding design is as follows:
And in the gain interval of the lowest target gain and the highest target gain, adjusting the current proportion of each pump according to the current target gain, the current input optical power and the current output optical power until the transient performance requirement of the optical fiber amplifier is met, and obtaining the optimized current proportion, as shown in fig. 2, the method flow comprises the following steps:
In step 201, the minimum input power corresponding to the lowest target gain and the minimum input power corresponding to the highest target gain are input to the optical fiber amplifier, and the input power is gradually increased from the minimum input power until one of the pumps reaches the maximum current or the maximum input power corresponding to the current target gain.
In step 202, in the process of increasing the input power, the slope of the input optical power is obtained in real time according to the current input optical power.
In the process of increasing the input power, the slope of the input optical power is obtained in real time according to the current input optical power, whether the current optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement is judged according to the slope of the input optical power, and the corresponding PID parameters and/or the current proportion of each pump are adjusted in real time until the optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement.
In this embodiment, the obtained input optical power is shifted to obtain N stages, so as to ensure that the current input optical power meets the minimum number of stages required by the estimated slope of the least square method, and the estimated slope k of the optical power change is calculated according to the current input optical power of the obtained N stages and the least square method calculation formula, where the formula is as follows:
Where k is the slope of the optical power change, X i is the i-th sequence number of the input optical power value, Y i is the i-th input optical power scaling value, and n is the number of sample samples. Wherein, a plurality of the input optical power values are acquired according to time sequence; the shift acquisition N stages are to shift and acquire the input optical power through N stages of shift registers, so that the requirement of a least square method is met.
In step 203, when the slope of the input optical power is greater than or equal to the preset lower-wave transient state decision threshold and less than or equal to the preset upper-wave transient state decision threshold, the original PID parameters are adjusted until the optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement, and if the optical fiber amplifier cannot meet the transient performance requirement by adjusting the original PID parameters, the current proportion of each pump is synchronously adjusted according to the current target gain, the current input optical power and the current output optical power until the optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement.
In step 204, when the slope of the input optical power is greater than the preset uplink transient decision threshold, the optical fiber amplifier triggers an uplink transient event, and does not meet the transient performance requirement, the uplink parameter is adjusted until the optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement, and if the optical fiber amplifier cannot meet the transient performance requirement by adjusting the uplink parameter, the current proportion of each pump is synchronously adjusted according to the current target gain, the current input optical power and the current output optical power until the optical fiber amplifier meets the transient performance requirement.

Example 3:
the embodiment 3 of the invention provides an actual execution flow of a control method of a low-noise multi-pump EDFA on the basis of the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 2, which is used for displaying the corresponding control method more intuitively.
Step1, initializing parameters:
the initial current ratio of each pump is set, for example, the first stage pump ratio is 100%, the second stage pump ratio is 85%, and each initial offset is set to 0.
Setting reference PID initialization parameters (pid_p, pid_i, pid_d), setting preset downlink transient decision threshold and preset uplink transient decision threshold add_thr and drop_thr, and initializing preset window periods enter_window and exit_window respectively, and setting initial delay overshoot parameters (add_dly, drop_dly) and initial PID parameters (add_P_delta, add_I_delta, add_D_delta, drop_P_delta, drop_I_delta, drop_D_delta) to 0.
And 2, scaling the pump scale factor and the pre-bias amount.
And 2-1, respectively setting the highest target gain and the lowest target gain, and gradually increasing the input optical power from the minimum input optical power in the corresponding light inlet range until one pump reaches the maximum current. In the above-described process of increasing the optical power, the offset (offset_i) of each pump is adjusted so that the noise figure satisfies the noise figure requirement.
When the noise figure exceeds the noise figure requirement, increasing the offset of the pump of the front stage in the cascade pump or reducing the offset of the pump of the rear stage; when the margin of the noise figure is larger than the first preset margin value, the bias of the pump of the front stage is reduced or the bias of the pump of the rear stage is increased.
Step 2-2, debugging transient performance of the optical fiber amplifier at the highest and lowest target gains respectively, and debugging the transient performance through debugging parameters in a feedforward control module and a transient judgment module, wherein the parameters in the feedforward control module and the transient judgment module specifically comprise: feedforward component, delay overshoot parameter, and PID parameter. When the parameters can meet the transient performance under each condition, the calibration is completed; if not, executing the step 2-3.
And 2-3, adjusting the current proportion (ratio_i) of each pump to enable the transient index of the optical fiber amplifier to meet the requirement. When the transient performance index exceeds the transient performance requirement, reducing the current proportion of the pumping of the front stage in the cascade pumping or increasing the current proportion of the pumping of the rear stage; when the margin of the transient performance index is larger than the second preset margin value, the current proportion of the pumping of the front stage is increased or the current proportion of the pumping of the rear stage is reduced.
And 2-4, checking whether the current proportion and the bias quantity of each pump can meet the noise figure requirement under the test condition of the step 2-1. If yes, the calibration is completed, if not, iteration is started from the step 2-1, and the current proportion and the bias amount of each pump are finely adjusted.
And 3, amplifying Spontaneous Emission (ASE) power calibration.
Amplified spontaneous emission power scaling is a necessary step for the optical fiber amplifier to lock the target gain, and noise components and signal components in the output power can be obtained through the step, so that the power of the signal components can be ensured to meet the requirement.
Because the self-excitation radiation generated by the amplification of the optical fiber amplifier overlaps with the signal wave band, the photoelectric detector cannot distinguish the signal power from the ASE power, and the ASE power in the output light needs to be calibrated through a spectrometer (Optical spectrum Analyzer, abbreviated as OSA), so that the signal light power in the output light power is ensured to obtain proper gain.
Step 3-1, setting the working mode as AGC, and setting the VOA as attenuation mode by the variable gain optical fiber amplifier comprising the adjustable optical attenuator (variable optical attenuator, abbreviated as VOA).
Step 3-2, respectively taking the minimum input optical power corresponding to the three gain points, and recording the current ase_mw according to the following formula by adjusting ASE scaling parameters, namely, ase_k or ase_b, so that the gain reported by the spectrometer is equal to the set gain:
ase_mw=ase_k*dB2mw(gain_set)+ase_b;
dB2mw(gain_set)=10^(gain_set/10);
step 3-3, based on the three sets of data of ase_mw and dB2mw (gain_set) obtained in step 3-2, the ASE scaling parameters, ase_k and ase_b, are obtained using a linear fit.
And 3-4, verifying the calibration accuracy of ASE, checking whether the deviation between the reported gain and the set gain of the spectrometer is smaller than the requirement by traversing the light inlet power under the gain of the size, if so, completing the calibration required, if not, not satisfying the inspection test condition, and starting to re-fit ASE calibration parameters from the step 3-1.
And 4, feedforward scaling of the logic pumping module.
The feedforward component of the logic pumping module can rapidly output the current proportion of the pumping corresponding to the gain according to the input optical power detection value under the current gain, thereby realizing the purpose of rapid pumping adjustment and mainly playing a role in the scenes of transient control of the input optical power or gain switching and the like.
Step 4-1, setting the working mode as AGC, and setting the VOA into attenuation mode by the variable gain EDFA containing the VOA.
Step 4-2, setting 3 target gains respectively, taking 4 input optical powers under each gain, and when the target gains are locked, if the current in each optical fiber amplifier reaches the maximum current, reducing the input optical power until the optical fiber amplifiers exit the maximum current state; otherwise, the current logic pump (pump_logic_dac) and the input optical power value dB2mw (input_pwr) are recorded according to the following formula:
pump_logic_dac=K*dB2mw(input_pwr)+B;
dB2mw(input_pwr)=10^(input_pwr/10);
According to 4 groups of logic pump and input optical power value data under each gain, the current feedforward scaling parameters K_1 and B_1 are obtained in a linear fitting mode, and the feedforward scaling parameters K_2, B_2 and K_3 and B_3 under the other two gains are obtained in a similar way.
Step 4-3, linear fitting is carried out on the feedforward scaling parameters K_1, K_2 and K_3 under the three gain points obtained in the step 4-2 and the input optical power values, so as to obtain feedforward scaling parameters K_k and K_b; and (3) linearly fitting the feedforward scaling parameters B_1, B_2 and B_3 under the three gain points obtained in the step (4-2) with the input optical power values to obtain feedforward scaling parameters B_k and B_b.
And 4-4, verifying the calibration accuracy of the feedforward, under the condition of closing feedback enabling, verifying whether the deviation between the reported gain and the set gain of the optical fiber amplifier is smaller than the requirement or not by traversing the light inlet power under the gain of the size, if so, completing the calibration meeting the requirement, if not, not meeting the checking and testing condition, and re-fitting the feedforward calibration parameters from the step 4-1.
And 5, checking noise figure and transient performance.
Since ASE power scaling will result in a corresponding increase in the current value of the logic pump module at the same gain, the noise figure will change less on a step 2 basis, requiring verification of the noise figure. When the verification fails, step 2 needs to be performed iteratively.
Since the feedforward scaling accuracy of the logic pump module directly affects the transient performance, it is necessary to verify the transient performance. And when the verification is not passed, debugging parameters such as delay overshoot parameters, PID parameters and the like in the transient state judgment module to optimize transient state performance.
In summary, the control method and apparatus for low noise multi-pump EDFA provided in embodiments 1,2 and 3 can bring the following advantages:
