Description

Polarization mode dispersion compensator based on fiber grating
Technical field
The invention belongs to the optical communication technique field, particularly a kind of polarization mode dispersion compensator based on fiber grating, be mainly used in the polarized mode dispersion compensation in the high speed optical fiber communication, with the pulsewidth of recovery, reduce the distortion and the bit error rate that signal transmits because of the light pulse signal of the differential group delay broadening of different polarization mould transmission.
Background technology
In single-mode fiber, in fact transmitting two mutually orthogonal linear polarization patterns.In the single-mode fiber of the desirable symmetrical fibre core of circle, these two patterns are complete degeneracys, and their propagation constant equates, so there is not polarization mode dispersion.But in the optical fiber of reality, because factors such as the out-of-roundness of optical fiber and residualinternal stress make optical fiber produce birefringence.Except the birefringence that optical fiber structure itself exists, optical fiber in process of deployment bending and reverse and wait variation, or be subjected to the influence of factors such as ambient pressure and environment temperature, also will make the optical fiber generation add birefringence.When light transmits in this optical fiber, just there is certain transmission speed poor between two polarization modes, promptly their arrive the asynchronism(-nization) (so-called polarization mode dispersion that Here it is) of optical transmission chain end, the size that this two mistimings are exactly polarization mode dispersion.In addition, also will be coupled between two polarization modes.Because the influence of the birefringence of optical fiber intrinsic and extraneous factor is at random on fibre circuit, therefore, the coupling between two polarization modes also is at random, and causing polarization mode dispersion is a random quantity.
Along with the continuous development of social informatization, the user increases day by day to the demand of message capacity.Optical fiber communication as modern long distance line communication main body develops rapidly in the direction towards two-forty, high capacity and long distance always.Now, commercial single-channel speed has developed into 10Gb/s, forward 40Gb/s even 160Gb/s development.Along with the raising of single channel transfer rate, the little polarization mode dispersion problem of influence becomes more and more outstanding in than the low rate fibre-optic transmission system (FOTS).The transmission performance of polarization mode dispersion infringement system, the transfer rate of restriction system and distance are considered to limit the final factor of speed fiber optic communication systems transmission capacity and distance.Just because of polarization mode dispersion the high-speed high capacity optical fiber telecommunications system is had very important influence, how the polarization mode dispersion of compensated optical fiber communication system has become the problem of industry broad research.On the other hand, because polarization mode dispersion is a random statistical amount, so polarization mode dispersion compensator is wanted dynamic adjustable.
The ultimate principle of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation is two polarized lightwaves decomposition with light signal, respectively by the different chronotron of amount of delay, and then synthetic.Critical component wherein is a chronotron.Now reported the scheme of multiple polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation.Formerly one of technology adopts the bulk optics chronotron: see Jungho Kim, " the Polarization mode dispersion compensator using apolarization beam splitter and quarter-wave plates " that Hosung Yong etc. delivers, Applied Optics, Vol.40, pp.4473-4475,2001;
Formerly two of technology adopt the polarization maintaining optical fibre nonlinearly chirped fiber grating: see S.Lee, " the High-birefringence nonlinearly-chirped fiber Bragg grating for tunablecompensation of polarization mode dispersion " that R.Khosravani etc. deliver, OFC Technical Digest, pp.272-274,1999.
Formerly three of technology adopt two linear chirp optical fiber gratings: see K.Yoshiara, " the Tunable Polarization Mode Dispersion Compensator with ChirpedFiber Bragg Gratings " that people such as M.Takabayashi deliver, OFC Technical Digest, pp.168-169,2003.
Their basic functional principle is identical: at first separately with two polarization signals, and relief they pass through the route of different delayed time respectively, under the control of backfeed loop, making the delay inequality between two polarization modes is zero.Two polarization mode signals after will compensating at last mix exports to photoreceiver.But the polarization mode dispersion compensator that utilizes the bulk optics chronotron to constitute will be easier to be subjected to the influence of surrounding environment factor; And it is comparatively complicated to write non-linear chirp grating preparation method on polarization maintaining optical fibre, and is not easy to dynamic adjustments, promptly is unfavorable for the dynamic adjustments compensation rate; And when utilizing three described methods of technology formerly, because the background refractive index of two optical fiber is identical, their time lag curve is the same, therefore before application, to all plate metal film on the surface of two fiber gratings, and extraction electrode, for adding electric current, change the temperature of fiber grating, when using, the temperature of wherein a grating to be added to 60 ℃ in advance, so that the time lag curve of two gratings staggers, produce delay inequality, with this compensating polarization mode dispersion, then change electric current, thereby reach the purpose of dynamic compensation by another grating surface metal film.This shows that this scheme preparation is complicated, cost is higher.
