The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth" and the like in the description and in the claims of this application and in the above-described figures, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments described herein may be implemented in other sequences than those illustrated or otherwise described herein.
Concepts related to the embodiments of the present application are described below:
passive optical network (passive optical network, PON): a passive optical network refers to an optical fiber distribution network (optical distribution network, ODN) between an optical line terminal (optical line terminal, OLT) and an optical network unit (optical network unit, ONU), without any active electronic equipment.
The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to compatibility between various passive optical network (passive optical network, PON) systems, including, for example, next-generation PON (NG-PON), NG-PON1, NG-PON2, gigabit PON (gigabit-capable PON, GPON), 10gigabit per second PON (10gigabit per second PON,XG-PON), symmetrical 10gigabit passive optical network (10-gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical network, XGS-PON), ethernet PON (Ethernet PON, EPON), 10gigabit per second EPON (10gigabit per second EPON,10G-EPON), next-generation EPON, NG-EPON), wavelength division multiplexing (wavelenth-division multiplexing, WDM) PON, time-and wavelength-division stacked multiplexing (TWDM) PON, point-to-point (P2P) WDM PON (P2P-WDM PON), asynchronous-transfer mode PON (asynchronous transfer mode PON, APON), broadband PON (BPON), etc., as well as 25gigabit per second PON (25gigabit per second PON,25G-PON), 50gigabit per second PON (50gigabit per second PON,50G-PON), 100gigabit per second PON (100gigabit per second PON,100G-PON), 25gigabit per second EPON (25gigabit per second EPON,25G-EPON), 50gigabit per second EPON (50gigabit per second EPON,50G-EPON), 100gigabit per second EPON (100gigabit per second EPON,100G-EPON), and other rates of GPON, EPON, etc.
Fiber distribution network (optical distribution network, ODN): the ODN is a PON device based fiber-to-the-home optical cable network. The function of the optical network unit is to provide an optical transmission channel between the OLT and the ONU.
Wavelength division multiplexing (wavelength division multiplexing, WDM): wavelength division multiplexing is a technology of converging two or more optical carrier signals (carrying various information) with different wavelengths together at a transmitting end through a multiplexer (also called a combiner) and coupling the signals into the same optical fiber of an optical line for transmission; at the receiving end, the optical carriers of various wavelengths are separated by a demultiplexer (also known as a demultiplexer) and then further processed by an optical receiver to recover the original signal. This technique of transmitting two or more different wavelength optical signals simultaneously in the same optical fiber is known as wavelength division multiplexing.
An emission light component: the function of the emitting optical component is to convert the electric signal into an optical signal and input the optical signal into an optical fiber for transmission.
A light receiving assembly: the function of the receiving optical component is to receive the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber and convert the optical signal into an electric signal.
And the light receiving and transmitting assembly comprises: mainly comprises an emitting light component and a receiving light component.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application is mainly applied to a passive optical network (passive optical network, PON), and under the overall situation that the optical network is fully popularized, a huge number of communication devices, such as OLT and ONUs, are needed, and the related communication devices mainly include optical modules (may also be referred to as optical communication devices) and a board and a frame where the optical modules are placed, where each optical module corresponds to one ODN and serves a certain number of users (each ONU represents one user). As a key structure in the optical network, the optical modules in the OLT and the ONU are responsible for performing the tasks of photoelectric conversion and transmission on the network signals, which is a basis for enabling the entire network to communicate normally.
In the technical solution of the present application, the optical communication device may include a unidirectional optical component, for example, a transmitting optical component or a receiving optical component, and may also include a bidirectional optical component, for example, a transmitting optical component and a receiving optical component. The specific application is not limited.
A schematic structure of a possible transceiver module is described below with reference to fig. 2.
Referring to fig. 2, an important component in the optical module is a transceiver module, and the transceiver module is used to transmit and receive an optical signal. As can be seen from fig. 2, the transceiver module includes a housing 201, a transmitting module 202 embedded in the housing 201, a receiving module 203, a WDM structure 204 (combiner or demultiplexer) arranged in the housing 201, and an optical fiber connection ferrule 205 and an optical fiber 206 connected to the ends of the housing 201. Wherein the emitting optical component 202 is used to convert the electrical signal into an optical signal and input the optical signal into the optical fiber 206 for transmission. The function of the receiving optical module 203 is to receive the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber and convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, and in general, since the wavelengths of the transmitted and received light are different, a WDM structure 204 needs to be disposed in a metal housing to separate the two wavelengths, and the WDM structure 204 functions as follows: light of some wavelengths is transmitted while light of other wavelengths is reflected. The optical transmission path is shown by the solid arrows in fig. 2, and the light from the transmitting optical component 202 is transmitted in a straight line through the WDM structure 204 and then enters the optical fiber 206 for transmission; the optical receiving path is shown by the dashed arrow in fig. 2, and the optical signal transmitted by the optical fiber 206 is reflected when passing through the WDM structure 204, and the receiving optical component 203 is located on the reflected optical path, so as to implement the receiving of the optical signal.
The transceiver module shown in fig. 2 includes the optical fiber connection ferrule 205 and the optical fiber 206, and in practical application, the transceiver module may not include the optical fiber connection ferrule 205 and the optical fiber 206.
Alternatively, the different optical components may be packaged in the form of a coaxial shell CAN (TO-CAN). The following describes the packaging of the coaxial packages, taking the example that the transmitting optical component and the receiving optical component may be packaged in the form of coaxial packages (TO-CAN).
Referring to fig. 3, the transmitting optical component and the receiving optical component may be packaged in a coaxial tube shell, and are formed by combining a metal base 1 with pins and a cap 6 with a lens, and a Laser Diode (LD) 4 and a Photodiode (PD) 2 are placed on the metal base 1 according to a certain form. The pins on the metal base 1 are respectively connected with the signal electrodes on the LD4 and the transimpedance amplifier (trans-impedance amplifier, TIA) by gold wires, so that external electric signals can be transmitted to the LD4 for electro-optical conversion. The package further comprises a carrier 3, a heat sink 5 and a window 7. In general, the pins and the substrate are separated by glass cement, the pins and the substrate are electrically in an isolation state, the whole substrate is used for making a ground wire plane, and the pins are connected with the outside through a special pin connected with the substrate, and the various connections can be realized by adopting gold wire welding. The transmitting optical component and the receiving optical component are connected with peripheral circuits through pins for receiving and transmitting, and then are arranged in the optical module shell, so that the optical module structure is formed.
In PON networks, normal upstream or downstream communication can be performed between the ONT and the OLT, but it is not known which fibers in the ODN are occupied, idle or broken. At present, a red light pen is mainly used for accessing an optical fiber so as to judge whether the optical fiber breaks or not, so that the visual management of the ODN is realized. However, the red light pen is independent of the PON network as a fiber breakage detection means, and cannot realize automatic visual management of the ODN network. Furthermore, the red light pen can only be used for detecting whether the optical fiber breaks, and the optical fiber detection function is single.
The application provides a corresponding technical scheme, which is used for detecting whether an optical fiber in an ODN network is occupied, idle or broken through a first wavelength optical signal emitted by a first optical component in an optical communication device. The optical fiber detection method and the optical fiber detection device realize automatic detection of the optical fiber in the ODN, realize automatic visual management of the ODN, and have more comprehensive optical fiber detection function. And the second optical component is used for transmitting the second wavelength optical signal and/or receiving the third wavelength optical signal, and the second wavelength optical signal and the third wavelength optical signal bear business data. Thereby realizing the integration of the communication function and the visualization function of the optical communication device.

The first wavelength optical signal is used for optical fiber detection. It is understood that the wavelength of the first wavelength optical signal may be a wavelength of light that can be recognized by the human eye. For example, visible light has a wavelength between 360 nm and 830 nm and near infrared light has a wavelength between 780 nm and 1100 nm. The wavelength of the first wavelength optical signal may be one of visible light or near infrared light. For example, the wavelength of the first wavelength optical signal is 650 nanometers.
Optionally, the first wavelength optical signal is used to detect whether the optical fiber is idle, occupied, or broken. Thereby realizing the visual management of the ODN network. For example, the optical communication device is disposed in the OLT, and the first wavelength optical signal may be used to detect whether an optical fiber between the OLT and the ODN network is idle, occupied, or broken. For example, the optical communication device is disposed in the ONU, and the first wavelength optical signal may be used to detect whether an optical fiber between the ONU and the ODN network is idle, occupied, or broken.
The second wavelength optical signal and the third wavelength optical signal may be communication optical signals. For example, the wavelength of the communication light is 1260 nm to 1600 nm. For example, the second wavelength optical signal has a wavelength between 1260 nm and 1330 nm and the third wavelength optical signal has a wavelength between 1340 nm and 1600 nm. Alternatively, the second wavelength optical signal has a wavelength between 1340 nanometers and 1600 nanometers and the third wavelength optical signal has a wavelength between 1260 nanometers and 1330 nanometers.
Alternatively, the second optical component may be a transmitting optical component, a receiving optical component, or a transceiving optical component.
For example, the optical communication device is disposed in the OLT, and the second wavelength optical signal may be a downstream communication optical signal sent by the OLT to the ONU. The third wavelength optical signal is an upstream communication optical signal that the OLT receives from the ONU transmission. Thereby realizing the integration of the communication function and the visualization function of the optical communication device.
For example, the optical communication device is disposed in the ONU, and the second wavelength optical signal may be an upstream communication optical signal sent by the ONU to the OLT. The third wavelength optical signal is a downstream communication optical signal that the ONU receives from the OLT. Thereby realizing the integration of the communication function and the visualization function of the optical communication device.
Optionally, the optical communication device further comprises a first coupler and a first fiber optic connection port. The first optical component is connected with the first end of the first coupler, the second optical component is connected with the second end of the first coupler, and the third end of the first coupler is connected with the first optical fiber connection port.

For example, the optical communication device is disposed in an OLT that emits a first wavelength optical signal through a first optical component in the optical communication device, which can be used to detect an optical fiber between the OLT and an ODN network (e.g., an optical splitter).

After the first optical component emits the first wavelength optical signal, if the optical fiber is flashed at the port on the splitter side corresponding to the optical fiber, it represents that the optical fiber is occupied.

As can be seen from fig. 19 to 24, in the technical solutions of the present application, the optical communication device may integrate the transmitting optical component, the receiving optical component and the first optical component. Therefore, the detection of the optical fiber of the ODN network is realized through the first wavelength optical signal emitted by the first optical component. For example, the first wavelength optical signal may be used to detect whether an optical fiber in the ODN network is occupied, idle, or broken. Automatic visual management of the ODN network is achieved. And the optical signals transmitted by the transmitting optical component and the optical signals received by the receiving optical component bear service data, thereby integrating the communication function and the visual function of the optical communication device.
One possible implementation of the present application for powering the first optical component is described below.
Optionally, in the case that the optical communication device includes a first optical component and a second optical component, the optical communication device further includes a flexible board or a rigid-flexible board, and the first optical component includes a first laser diode. The positive pole of the first laser diode is connected with the power supply pin of the second optical component through the soft and hard combination board or the soft board.
The power supply pin of the second optical component is understood to be a pin of the second optical component which is able to supply a voltage or a current to the first optical component. Alternatively, pins capable of providing voltage or current in the second optical component can be preferentially selected, and signals of the pins are not affected when the pins are led to the soft and hard combination board or the soft board.
The pin is connected with one end of the soft and hard combination board or the soft board, and the positive electrode of the first laser diode is connected with the other end of the soft and hard combination board or the soft board. The power is supplied to the first optical assembly by taking power from the power supply pins of the second optical assembly through the soft and hard combination board or the soft board. There is no need to change the form of a single board in an optical network device (e.g., OLT or ONU in which the optical communication apparatus is deployed). For example, there are tens of OLTs in a Passive Optical LAN (POL) park scenario, and there is a great need for a scenario in which the form of a board of the OLT is not changed, and the function of visualizing the ODN network is implemented without changing the form of the board.
The negative electrode of the first laser diode can be directly grounded, or can be connected with one end of the first resistor, and the other end of the first resistor is grounded.
For example, as shown in fig. 25, the power supply pin 2510 of the second optical component is a 3.3V (volt) power supply pin, and the positive electrode of the first laser diode 2501 is connected to this power supply pin 2510.
Optionally, in the case that the optical communication device includes the first optical component, the second optical component, and the third optical component, the optical communication device further includes a soft and hard board or a flexible board, and the first optical component includes a first laser diode. The positive pole of the first laser diode is connected with the power supply pin of the second optical component or the power supply pin of the third optical component through the soft and hard combination board or the soft board.
Reference may be made to the previous description regarding the power pin of the third optical component with respect to the power pin of the second optical component.
The scheme that the first optical component is connected with the power supply pin of the second optical component or the power supply pin of the third optical component through the soft and hard combination board or the soft board is used for supplying power to the first optical component is introduced. In practical application, the first optical component may also be connected to a power supply pin on the board, so as to realize that the board supplies power to the first optical component.
The technical scheme of the present application will be mainly described below by taking an implementation manner in which the anode of the first laser diode is connected to the power supply pin of the second optical component as an example.
Optionally, the first optical assembly further comprises a power locking structure connected to the first laser diode, the power locking structure being configured to control the power of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode.
Because the power of the optical signal which can be identified by human eyes is limited, the power of the optical signal with the first wavelength can be locked through the power locking structure, so that the human eyes can realize the optical signal of the visible light or the near infrared light, and the visual management of the ODN is realized. Further, the power of the first wavelength optical signal is locked, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the optical communication device. For example, the optical communication device is integrated in a chip, and the power of the first wavelength optical signal is locked within a constant value or a range, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the chip.
Alternatively, the power lock structure may be integrated on a rigid-flex board or a flex board.
Two possible implementations of the power lock structure are described below. The application is still applicable to other implementations, and the following two implementations do not belong to the limitation of the technical scheme of the application.
Fig. 25 is a schematic structural diagram of a power locking structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 25, the power locking structure includes a first laser diode 2501, a MOS transistor 2502, a back light photodiode 2503, an operational amplifier 2504, a first resistor 2505, a second resistor 2506, a third resistor 2507, and a fourth resistor 2508.
The positive electrode of the first laser diode 2501 is connected with a power supply pin 2510 of the second optical component, the drain electrode of the MOS tube 2502 is connected with the negative electrode of the first laser diode 2501, the grid electrode of the MOS tube 2502 is connected with the output port of the operational amplifier 2504, the source electrode of the MOS tube 2502 is connected with one end of the first resistor 2505, and the other end of the first resistor 2505 is grounded.
The cathode of the back light photodiode 2503 is connected to the power supply pin 2510 of the second optical component, the anode of the back light photodiode 2503 and one end of the second resistor 2506 are connected in parallel to the cathode input port of the operational amplifier 2504, and the other end of the second resistor 2506 is grounded.

Optionally, the power lock structure further includes a capacitor 2509, one end of the capacitor 2509 is connected to the output port of the operational amplifier 2504, and the other end of the capacitor 2509 is connected to the negative input port of the operational amplifier 2504. Thereby preventing self-oscillation of the operational amplifier.
In the power lock structure shown in fig. 25, the positive electrode of the operational amplifier 2504 is connected in parallel to the third resistor 2507 and the fourth resistor 2508, and these two resistors may be constant value resistors, and the voltage dividing ratio is set by the ratio of the third resistor 2507 to the fourth resistor 2508, so that the input voltage of the operational amplifier 2504 is set, and the target value of the power of the first wavelength optical signal is set.
When the voltage at the positive input port of the operational amplifier 2504 is unchanged and the power of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode 2501 is changed, the backlight photodiode 2503 absorbs the visible light or the near infrared light emitted by the first laser diode 2501, and when the power of the first wavelength optical signal is changed, the current of the branch where the backlight photodiode 2503 is located is changed, and the operational amplifier 2504 adjusts the output voltage thereof. When the output voltage of the operational amplifier 2504 changes and the conduction depth of the MOS transistor 2502 is different, the current passing through the first laser diode 2501 also changes, so as to control the power of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode 2501. The resistance of the second resistor 2506 affects the adjustment range of the power of the second wavelength optical signal. The power lock structure shown in fig. 25 drives the first laser diode 2501 together by the operational amplifier 2504 and the MOS transistor 2502 with low driving capability. The power of the first wavelength optical signal output from the first laser diode 2501 can be locked by the power locking structure shown in fig. 25 described above, or the power of the first wavelength optical signal output from the first laser diode 2501 can be controlled to fall within a certain range.

Referring to fig. 26, the power lock structure includes: a first laser diode 2601, a backlight photodiode 2602, an operational amplifier 2603, a first resistor 2604, a second resistor 2605, a third resistor 2606, and a fourth resistor 2607.
The positive electrode of the first laser diode 2601 is connected to the power supply pin 2609 of the second optical module, one end of the first resistor 2604 is connected to the negative electrode of the first laser diode 2601, and the other end of the first resistor 2604 is connected to the output port of the operational amplifier 2603.
The cathode of the backlight photodiode 2602 is connected to the power supply pin 2609 of the second optical module, one end of the second resistor 2605 and the anode of the backlight photodiode 2602 are connected in parallel to the cathode input port of the operational amplifier 2603, and the other end of the second resistor 2605 is grounded.
One end of the third resistor 2606 and one end of the fourth resistor 2607 are connected in parallel with the positive input port of the operational amplifier 2603, the other end of the third resistor 2606 is connected with the power supply pin 2609 of the second optical module, and the other end of the fourth resistor 2607 is grounded.
The third resistor 2606 and the fourth resistor 2607 in the power lock-in structure shown in fig. 26 described above function similarly to the third resistor 2507 and the fourth resistor 2508 in the power lock-in structure shown in fig. 25 described above, and the description thereof will be referred to in detail.
When the voltage of the positive input port of the operational amplifier 2603 is unchanged and the power of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode 2601 is changed, the backlight photodiode 2602 absorbs the visible light or the near infrared light emitted by the first laser diode 2601. Since the power of the first wavelength optical signal changes, the current of the branch where the back light photodiode 2602 is located changes, the operational amplifier 2603 adjusts the output voltage thereof, and the output voltage of the operational amplifier 2603 changes, so that the current supported by the first laser diode 2601 changes, and the control of the power of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode 2601 is realized. The power lock structure shown in fig. 26 directly drives the first laser diode 2601 through the operational amplifier 2603 having a strong driving capability. The resistance of the second resistor 2605 affects the adjustment range of the power of the second wavelength optical signal.
Optionally, the power locking structure further includes a capacitor 2608, where one end of the capacitor 2608 is connected to the output port of the operational amplifier 2603, and the other end of the capacitor 2608 is connected to the negative input port of the operational amplifier 2603. Thereby preventing self-oscillation of the operational amplifier 2603.
As is clear from the above, the power lock structure shown in fig. 25 or 26 is to realize the power control (i.e., the visible light output optical power or the near infrared light output optical power) of the first wavelength optical signal output by the first laser diode by using the negative feedback loop formed by the optical coupling between the first laser diode and the backlight photodiode.
