Description
Affiliated technical field
The present invention relates to the transmission of mixing rate light, particularly the online dispersion compensation device and the method for mixing rate system.The present invention is used for solving the dispersion compensation of metropolitan area network, dense wave division multipurpose (DWDM) optical transmission system, intelligent optical network system 2.5G/10G/40G mixing rate optical transmission.The light path that the present invention is specially adapted between optical cross connect system (OXC), Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM), the Optical Terminal Multiplexer (OTM) connects or the light path node, transmits the ring-like Metro or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system of a few mixing rate business.
Background technology
In optical fiber telecommunications system, the focus and the difficult point of the mixing rate light signal transmission in same optical fiber becoming network struction, and wherein the solution of dispersion compensation is the key technology that realizes the mixing rate optical transmission.The system dispersion tolerance limit of different rates light signal differs very big, the relation of system dispersion tolerance value and rate value is not linear, but square relation, for example be upgraded to the words of 10G from 2.5G when system, the system dispersion tolerance limit requires and can improve 16 times, and is as shown in table 1, and this brings very big difficulty for the integrated solution of dispersion compensation of mixing rate optical transmission system, particularly when the 40G light signal also joined the mixed transport of optical-fiber network, this requirement meeting was higher.
Table 1 different rates dispersion limited non-relay apart from theoretical value:
| 1550nm(G.652) | 1550nm(G.655) | |
| 2.5Gbit/s | 929km | 4528km |
| 10Gbit/s | 58km | 283km |
| 40Gbit/s | 3.6km | 18km |
In the different rates optical transmission system, its dispersion compensation schemes has nothing in common with each other at present.For the 2.5G system,, generally in system, need not carry out dispersion compensation because its dispersion tolerance is very big; For the 10G system, because its dispersion tolerance is less, generally, transmission range will take into account the diffusing compensation of the circumstances in which people get things ready for a trip when surpassing 60km, dispersion compensation schemes commonly used has dispersion compensating fiber (broadband system) and Dispersion Compensation Grating (single-channel system); For the 40G system, because its dispersion tolerance is minimum, in system, to carry out fine compensation, because optical fiber dispersion also will carry out online dynamic dispersion compensation sometimes with variation of temperature with Tunable Dispersion Compensator.
How the light signal of different rates in the same optical fiber being carried out incorporate dispersion compensation in ASON, Metro and DWDM is the problem that we will solve.
Present metropolitan area network, basically also do not introduce the 40G business in the dwdm system, the dispersion compensation solution of current 2.5G/10G mixed transport generally is to adopt broadband DCF (dispersion compensating fiber) to carry out dispersion compensation piecemeal, promptly adopt general DCF module simultaneously 10G and 2.5G signal to be compensated, this kind method is added in DCF making a start of optical sender usually, on the receiving end of optical receiver or the optical relay website, the work zone of DCF is roomy, can realize broadband compensation, device is to temperature-insensitive, require looser for condition of work, the technology maturity height is applicable to Metro or dwdm system that wave number is more.
Shortcoming and the limitation that adopts DCF to carry out the mixing rate dispersion compensation is at present:
If the 10G service wavelength is less in 1 network, then every dispersion compensation of channels cost is very high, current DCF all relies on import, the DCF module price of a compensation 80km is about 7000 dollars, consider that the tax rate is equivalent to about 70000$, and corresponding D CG (Dispersion Compensation Grating) price is lower than 5000$, that is to say, has only that to adopt DCF to be only when above worthwhile when the 10G business in the network reaches tens wavelength.
2, DCF module general requirements is DCM20,40,60,80 etc. (DCM20 represents to compensate 20km optical fiber), and for example 35km often can't fine compensation for actual fiber length, and the repeatedly accumulation of this residual dispersion can cause the reception cost of high-speed optical signal.
3, the loss of DCF introducing is too big, and system has been introduced bigger nonlinear effect and polarization mode dispersion.And DCF has introduced unnecessary dispersion compensation loss for the 2.5G business, thereby has increased the spending of the preceding preseting amplifier of receiver, and has introduced DCF noise and extra amplifier noise.
If 4 have introduced the business of 40G, also to carry out deciliter ripple and adjustable dispersion compensating at 40G in addition, system configuration must be changed.
Another kind of scheme is to adopt DCG to carry out dispersion compensation, usual way is that the 10G signal is got off with the channel-splitting filter branch, the light signal after the compensation adds a circulator with a DCG and carries out dispersion compensation, if also will continue to transmit to be incorporated in the light path with wave multiplexer to go again.DCG generally can only compensate single ripple, and its Insertion Loss is little, and nonlinear effect is not obvious, and the technology comparative maturity is commonly used in high speed (10G and the above speed) SDH optical transmission of single ripple.
The shortcoming of current general DCG dispersion compensation method is to carry out online dispersion compensation to certain wavelength in the system, if specific wavelength is carried out dispersion compensation, need to use Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) or demodulation multiplexer (DEMUX) down with this wavelength filter, send into and carry out dispersion compensation among the DCG, be incorporated in the Transmission Fibers by OADM or MUX more then, the upper and lower road of this wavelength will increase the Insertion Loss and the cost of system, if and system configuration is changed or upgrading, these multiplexer/demultiplexer spares also will be changed thereupon.
The dispersion compensation technology of prechirp and decision-feedback is not mature enough, and big limitation is arranged, and another relatively more expensive method is to adopt electric relaying, and signal is carried out 3R regeneration.

Embodiment
The present invention is described in detail as follows in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to accompanying drawing:
As shown in Figure 1, the workflow of described dispersion compensation module is: the mixing rate signal enters circulator 1 from optical fiber, then change TDC (Tunable Dispersion Compensator) over to, it is to be made by chirped fiber grating, its centre wavelength is aimed at the 40G light signal, 40G light signal dispersion compensating back reflection comes out, and continue to enter coupler through circulator 1, and other signal enters circulator 2 through TDC.The 10G signal of need dispersion compensation returns circulator 2 and enters coupler in the remaining mixed signal after the DCG compensation, remaining 2.5G signal sees through DCG and enters coupler, and then 40G, 10G, 2.5G signal all enter coupler again after through compensation link separately and return in the optical fiber at last.
The decay of this module is very little, decay to 0.4～0.5dB between the circulator port, the decay of dispersion compensator such as TDC, DCG is less than 1dB, and the decay of coupler is also less than 1dB, and then the decay of whole module is about about 3dB, the light path of the 40G signal process of compensation is short earlier, it is little to decay, and is about 2dB, and the light path of 2.5G signal process is the longest, it is bigger to decay, and is about 4dB.That is to say, the decay difference of different rates signal, but because the signal of various speed finally is a branch comes and detect separately, so the power unevenness between them can not exert an influence to receptivity.
This module can be carried out flexible configuration to structure according to the light path number that will compensate, and can compensate a plurality of 40G signals, 10G signal or 2.5G signal, the structure of module such as Fig. 2.Structure as shown in Figure 2 can compensate a 40G signal, a n-1 10G signal, and a plurality of 2.5G signal, so analogizes, and also can be designed as m 40G signal of compensation, a n 10G signal, and p 2.5G signal.But the total channel number of compensation is not too many, and one comes multi-stage annular device structure can cause that decay increases, and two can cause the power unevenness between the same rate signal, bring influence if receiving terminal adopts the PD array to receive unavoidably simultaneously to reception.Simultaneously, according to the total channel number that is compensated, can coupler be replaced with wave multiplexers such as Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG), film filter according to the consideration of price, aspect of performance.
For further reducing cost, the circulator in the module can replace with 3dB 2 * 2 couplers, and the price of circulator is about 4～500 dollars, and the price of 2 * 2 couplers is about 100 RMB.Structure as shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3: the online dispersion compensating block structure that utilizes the 40G/10G/2.5G signal of 2 * 2 couplers.
The advantage of this structure is that cost is low, and shortcoming is that the decay of introducing will increase greatly.A decay of having a try is probably for about 7dB in a 3dB2 * 2 couplers for reflected light path to be compensated, and remaining decay that sees through signal also has about 3.5dB, and then for the described module of Fig. 3, it decays to 9～11dB.If want to utilize 2 * 2 couplers to realize the described multichannel dispersion compensator of Fig. 2, scheme can realize, but the low speed light signal is difficult to accept to system through the decay of being introduced behind which floor 2 * 2 coupler in the module.So this scheme with 2 * 2 couplers relatively is applicable to single 40G, 10G and a plurality of 2.5G signal are carried out online dispersion compensation.
Also available 1 * 2 coupler of circulator in the module replaces, and effect is identical with 2 * 2 couplers.
Circulator, DCG, 2 * 2 couplers, 1 * 2 coupler used in the technical program all are general ripe devices, and price is very low; TDC has manufacturers such as OFS, Teraxion to provide at present, and the principle that its chromatic dispersion compensation quantity is adjustable is to utilize the dispersion measure of the variation change chirped fiber grating of temperature gradient, and is fine to the accurate regulating effect of the chromatic dispersion of 40G signal.
This dispersion compensation module can be used for current Metro series of products, WDM series of products and next step ASON product.The usage example of this dispersion compensation schemes in ASON: the application of dispersion compensation module as shown in Figure 4 in ASON, and the application of dispersion compensation module in WDM as shown in Figure 5.
