Wavelength division multiplexing circuit two fiber optical multiplexing section protective devices
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to optical multiplexing section protection (OMSP) device in a kind of wavelength-division multiplex system, refer more particularly to a kind of two fiber optical multiplexing section protective devices that are used for wavelength-division multiplex system.
(2) background technology
Along with the development of technology and the sharp increase of message capacity demand, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission technology has become the important and solution that generally adopt from the long-distance backbone network to the metropolitan area network.The traffic carrying capacity of the WDM network carrying is big; for example a 80Gb/s power system capacity has been equivalent to 100 No. ten thousand phones; it is that unit calculates speech channel that the Tb/s level system then rises to ten million the tunnel; therefore the fail safe of WDM network just seems particularly important, and people make great efforts to make up the protection system of variety of way so that be the safe and stable operation of network.
In general, the protection of photosphere can be divided into two kinds: OMSP and Optical Channel Protection, OMSP are mainly used in the protection fiber failure, and Optical Channel Protection can be used for the single channel fault.Comparatively practical at present OMSP system or employing redundant optical fiber are realized, or are adopted the protection turning protocol.And adopting the protection turning protocol, this mode can only be used for loop network system at present.While is owing to the complexity and the nonstandard parasexuality of agreement itself, so the practical application rate of this method is not as good as the redundant optical fiber mode.
The OMSP that adopts the redundant optical fiber mode to realize, as shown in Figure 1, at node A transmitting terminal, the OMSP device utilizes 1 pair of transmission of splitter light signal to carry out beam split; Light after the beam split sends working signal a, light sends guard signal b and sends by work, protection optical fiber respectively; In Node B, OMSP device receiving terminal is controlled optical switch 2 according to optical coupler 4 and light monitoring unit 3 output results its light input end light signal is selected output, thereby be implemented on the optical multiplex layer system is carried out 1+1 protection.Optical coupler 4 links to each other with optical fiber with main in this legend, if main with the fiber-optic signal interruption, light monitoring unit 3 will be controlled optical switch 2 and select standby fiber-optic signal to export Node B to.
Its advantage of redundant optical fiber mode is its simplicity; need not in any agreement and the system the not directly related unit of any fault all need not participation protective and switches; but this protected mode shortcoming is to be that it needs redundant Optical Fiber Transmission protection passage; for two fine bidirectional transmission systems; this protected mode requires that four optical fiber are arranged, and two optical fiber of increase are used to transmit guard signal.
This shortcoming seems particularly evident when this protected mode is used for long-haul transmission system, and this mainly is because the optical fibre installation expense is very expensive in long-haul transmission system; Also very very expensive concerning some in addition by redundant optical fiber protected mode the operator of renting optical fiber.
