The present invention relates to a Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON). More specifically, the present invention uses a low-cost Fabry-Perot Laser Diode (FP LD) light source and a cyclic Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) having periodic transmission characteristics. To configure the WDM-PON, and to implement the WDM-PON economically by using a low-cost PIN PD,

As the use of the Internet and the generalization of video and video-oriented services, subscriber demand for WDM-PON's high-speed services is increasing rapidly. In order to meet these requirements, the WDM-PON's high-speed scheme should be easy and economical to accommodate many subscribers.

The most representative method for implementing WDM-PON is to use a distributed feedback laser diode (hereinafter referred to as "DFB-LD") to fix light generated from the DFB-LD to a specific wavelength. Then, the most common method is to construct an optical subscriber network to undergo multiplexing and demultiplexing through a waveguide array grating (AWG).

DFB-LD is a single-mode oscillation laser and is an essential light source device commonly used for medium to long distance optical communication using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). The DFB-LD can generate laser light of a single mode wavelength, but a wavelength change of about 0.1 nm / ° C occurs according to the temperature change, so that a separate device capable of stabilizing the wavelength according to the temperature change is provided. need. Accordingly, the packaging of the laser diode (hereinafter referred to as "LD") also has the disadvantage of using an expensive butterfly form. Therefore, when implementing WDM-PON using DFB-LD, 1) the price of the light source itself is expensive; 2) temperature adjustment is required to fix the wavelength, and the cost of implementing the WDM-PON increases because the apparatus for stabilizing the wavelength according to the temperature change and the apparatus for controlling the same must be separately used; And 3) since the DFB-LD of a specific wavelength must be allocated to each subscriber, wavelength management is difficult.

A solution for solving the above-mentioned problems is a wavelength-division multiplexed optical communication using a Fabry-Perot laser diode whose wavelength is immersed in an incoherent light injected by the present applicant on December 21, 1999, by Lee Chang-Hee et al. Republic of Korea, filed as Korean Patent Application No. 10-1999-0059923, registered on Feb. 8, 2002, entitled “A low-cost WDM source with an incoherent light injected Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser diode” December 24, 2002, by Applicant Patent No. 10-325687 (hereinafter referred to as "'687 patent"), and Lee Chang-Hee et al. Filed under Korean Patent Application No. 10-2002-0083410 entitled "The optical access network using wavelength-locked WDM optical source injected by incoherent light" It is disclosed in Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-473520 (hereinafter referred to as "520 patent") registered on May 17. The '687 patent and the' 520 patent propose a wavelength fixed light source that oscillates in pseudo single mode by injecting an incoherent light source into the FP LD oscillating in a multiple mode and a WDM-PON implemented using such a wavelength fixed light source. Doing. Using the wavelength-fixed light source described above has the advantage of implementing WDM-PON using low-cost FP LD, and the temperature of the AWG or FP LD because the wavelength fixing of the FP LD occurs at the wavelength filtered through the AWG. The change in the wavelength according to the change is not large. However, in order to fix wavelengths of light sources, a disadvantage arises of separately inserting a broadband non-coherent light source from the outside.

Another method for implementing WDM-PON is an invention called "Wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network" by the applicant on February 12, 2004, based on Yoon Yun-Chul et al. Korean Patent No. 10, filed as Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0009019, published on August 18, 2005, and published as Publication No. 10-2005-0080860, and registered on January 31, 2006. -549783 (hereinafter referred to as "the '783 patent"). The '783 patent uses a periodic AWG, and also uses a broadband light emitting diode (LED) or a high output light emitting diode (Super Luminescent Diode) (hereinafter referred to as "SLD") as a light source. That is, the '783 patent discloses a method for making a low-cost WDM-PON light source using a broadband incoherent light source using a spectral slicing technique. In the above-mentioned '783 patent, when spectral segmentation of an LED or SLD light source results in a low modulation rate and a small light output, it is essential to compensate for the disadvantages of low power by transmitting all the light passing periodically using a periodic AWG. . However, when using the method disclosed in the '783 patent, the disadvantage of low power is compensated to some extent, but there is still a problem that the output is small. In addition, because a wide band of optical signals is transmitted, expensive Avalanche Photo Diodes, which are used as photodetectors to improve optical power margin and compensate for color dispersion, and forward error correction ( There was a problem that additional forward error correction (FEC) and distributed predistortion circuit were required.

Therefore, a new method for implementing WDM-PON at low cost is required.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, it is possible to implement the WDM-PON using only low-cost FP LD (Fabry-Perot Laser Diode), and do not need to select the wavelength of the light source on the subscriber side (wavelength independent Or color-less), to provide an effective and low cost WDM-PON.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in the wavelength division multiplexing passive optical subscriber network (WDM-PON), the present invention is located in a central base station (CO), and multiplexes or demultiplexes the transmitted optical signals. A first periodic waveguide array grating having an output port number; N first optical transceivers located within the central base station, each of which is coupled to the first periodic AWG and transmits or receives optical signals transmitted; A second periodic AWG located within a Remote Node (RN) and multiplexing or demultiplexing a transmitted optical signal and having n output port numbers; N second optical transceivers located at a subscriber (ONT) side, each connected to the second periodic AWG, and transmitting or receiving optical signals transmitted; A single mode optical fiber (SMF) connecting the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG and used for transmission of an optical signal transmitted through the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG; And n individual transmission single mode optical fibers connecting the second AWG and the n second optical transceivers (TRx).

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the wavelength division multiplexing passive optical subscriber network (WDM-PON), the present invention is located in a central base station (CO), and multiplexes or demultiplexes a transmitted optical signal. A first periodic waveguide array grating having an output port number; N first optical transceivers located within the central base station, each of which is coupled to the first periodic AWG and transmits or receives optical signals transmitted; N first determination threshold variable circuits connected to a first receiver of the first optical transceiver; A second periodic AWG located within a Remote Node (RN) and multiplexing or demultiplexing a transmitted optical signal and having n output port numbers; N second optical transceivers located at a subscriber (ONT) side, each connected to the second periodic AWG, and transmitting or receiving optical signals transmitted; N second determination threshold variable circuits connected to a second receiver of the second optical transceiver; A single mode optical fiber (SMF) connecting the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG and used for transmission of an optical signal transmitted through the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG; And n individual transmission single mode optical fibers connecting the second AWG and the n second optical transceivers (TRx).

Further advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like or like reference numerals designate like elements.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Examples and drawings.

1 is a view for explaining the basic principle for implementing a low-cost WDM-PON according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, in a low-cost WDM-PON to be implemented according to the present invention, a cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) having periodic transfer characteristics is used. This periodic AWG has a function of periodically repeating wavelengths to be multiplexed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a concept of a wavelength division multiplexing method applied to the basic principle shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to Figure 2, it is shown how each signal is multiplexed in the wavelength region. In this case, it is assumed that the Fabry-Parrot laser diode (F-P LD) oscillates in a wide band so as to sufficiently display the spectral spacing (FSR) represented by the repetitive period of the AWG. That is, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 6 to be described later, if the oscillating spectral band of the F-P LD is sufficiently larger than the FSR of the AWG, the spectrum of the F-P LD may be periodically divided by spectral division for each FSR of the AWG.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the wavelength regions of L1 (1), L1 (2), and L1 (3) among the light sources oscillating in the multi-mode generated in the FP LD1 are transmitted to the periodic AWG so that the period shown in FIG. The pass output is obtained by the band characteristic of the typical AWG① (cyclic AWG①). In the case of the light source oscillating in the multi-mode generated in the FP LD2, the wavelength region of L2 (1), L2 (2), and L2 (3) is transmitted to the periodic AWG in the same principle as in the case of the FP LD1 described above. The pass output is obtained by the band characteristics of the cyclic AWG② shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the final output of the periodic AWG is obtained with the multiplexed final output shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, only a light source oscillating in a multimode generated in two FP LDs is described, but this is merely an example, and a person skilled in the art can fully understand that a light source oscillating in a multimode generated in three or more FP LDs may be used. There will be. That is, when the number of inputs of the periodic AWG is n, the multi-mode light source generated from the n F-P LDs is also multiplexed in the same manner as the F-P LD1 and F-P LD2. Since the pass band of the periodic AWG is periodically repeated, this periodic AWG has the advantage that the WDM-PON can be configured regardless of the shape of the multiple oscillation mode of the plurality of F-P LDs or the position within the wavelength band.

On the other hand, when the temperature changes, in the case of a normal laser light source, the wavelength shifts toward the long wavelength at a change rate of 0.1 nm / 占 폚. Similarly, the AWG also shifts the center wavelength of the pass band when the temperature changes. Therefore, in the conventional WDM-PON, since the light source and the AWG require a separate temperature compensation device to compensate for the wavelength shift due to temperature change, the cost of implementing the entire WDM-PON system is increased accordingly.

The AWG, which is installed near the subscriber network and demultiplexes the signal multiplexed according to the wavelength to each subscriber, must be driven without supply of power. To meet these requirements, the use of expensive non-thermal AWGs is required. In addition, even if such a nonthermal AWG is used in the WDM-PON, the light source used must still be used separately from the temperature compensation device.

However, as described above with reference to FIG. 2, when the periodic AWG is used, the pass band of the periodic AWG is characterized as described in FIG. 2 described above regardless of whether the FP LD oscillates at a specific wavelength. Has Therefore, the periodic AWG has no problem in multiplexing the signal regardless of the wavelength shift phenomenon in the center band due to the temperature change occurring in the conventional AWG and the wavelength change phenomenon in accordance with the temperature change occurring in the conventional FP LD. I never do that.

3 is a view showing the conditions for the low-cost WDM-PON in accordance with the present invention to operate stably.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the passband of the periodic AWG used in the low-cost WDM-PON according to the present invention is B _AWG and the interval of the multiple oscillation mode of the FP LD is B _{F -P LD} , B _{F -P LD} is It must be smaller than B _AWG . Ie B _AWG ≥ 1.2 The condition of B _{F -P LD} must be satisfied. Only when these conditions are satisfied, even if the wavelength of the FP LD or AWG changes with temperature, at least one oscillation mode light source of at least one FP LD always passes through the pass band of the AWG. For example, if B _{FP LD} In the case of = 1/2 B _AWG , two FP LD modes pass through one AWG channel, so that at least one FP LD mode exists in the AWG channel even if a temperature change occurs.

4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a specific configuration of a WDM-PON according to the present invention satisfying the conditions described with reference to FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 4, the WDM-PON of the present invention is located in a central office (CO), multiplexes or demultiplexes transmitted optical signals, and has a first periodic waveguide arrangement with n number of output ports. Lattice (cyclic AWG1); N first optical transceivers (TRx) located in the central base station, each of which is coupled to the first periodic AWG and transmits or receives optical signals transmitted; A second periodic waveguide array grating (cyclic AWG2) located within a Remote Node (RN) and multiplexing or demultiplexing the transmitted optical signal and having n output port numbers; N second optical transceivers (TRx) positioned at a subscriber side (ONT: Optical Network Termination), each connected to the second periodic AWG, and transmitting or receiving optical signals transmitted; A single mode optical fiber (SMF) connecting the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG and used for transmission of an optical signal transmitted through the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG; And n individual transmission single mode optical fibers connecting the second AWG and the n second optical transceivers TRx.

More specifically, the WDM-PON of the present invention uses low-cost FP LDs (FP LD1 to FP LDn) as transmission end light sources of the first optical transceiver (TRx) and the second optical transmitter, and the low-cost FP LD (FP The first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG are used as wavelength division multiplexers having periodic transmission characteristics for multiplexing or demultiplexing optical signals output from LD1 to FP LDn, respectively. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will fully understand that a laser that oscillates in a single mode such as DFB LD may be used for wideband transmission instead of the F-P LD with the first and second optical transmitters of the present invention.

On the other hand, a low-cost first PIN photodetector as a receiving end of the first optical receiver and the second optical transceiver which passes through the first periodic AWG and the second periodic AWG, respectively, and converts the wavelength division multiplexed optical signal into an electrical signal. (Photo Detector: PD) and the second PIN PD are used.

In addition, referring back to FIG. 4, in order to compensate for deterioration characteristics of the WDM-PON system of the present invention according to temperature, at least one second transmitter of at least one of the first transceiver and the second transceiver of the above-described first transceiver may be used. A laser diode (double contact LD) with two or more injection electrodes can be used. In the case of using a laser diode having two or more injection electrodes, by varying the current flowing through the two injection electrodes, it is possible to fix the LD wavelength in the desired AWG wavelength band due to the difference in the wavelength of the AWG and the LD used System degradation can be compensated. A specific example of the laser diode having two or more injection electrodes described above is the inventor Lee Chang-Hee et al., And the inventors of August 19, 2005 entitled "wavelength control device using a Fabry-Perot laser diode having at least three electrodes". It is disclosed in detail in Korean Patent No. 0680918, filed as Patent Application No. 10-2005-0007643, registered on February 2, 2007, under the name of the invention, and the disclosure of this Patent No. 0680918 is herein incorporated by reference. Forms part of the invention.

In addition, in the WDM-PON of the present invention shown in Figure 4, to compensate for the color dispersion that occurs when the optical signal is transmitted within the optical fiber dispersion dispersion compensation fiber (Dispersion Compensation Fiber: DCF) ) May be additionally used or the color dispersion compensation method may be compensated by using an electric color dispersion compensation method in the first transceiver and the second transceiver. A specific example of such a chromatic dispersion compensation method is an electrical dispersion compensation method in which a transfer function of a circuit compensates for a change in a magnitude and a phase of a signal by using an electrical element as a circuit. In addition, a method of compensating dispersion using a passive device DCF may also be used. At least one of the first transmitter and the first receiver selected from among the first transceivers described above for transmitting a high speed signal of 622 Mbps may be respectively a first FEC encoder and a first FEC for forward error correction (FEC) of the transmitted optical signal. Further comprising a decoder, wherein at least one second transmitter and second receiver selected from the second transceiver further comprises a second FEC encoder and a second FEC decoder for forward error correction (FEC) of the transmitted optical signal, respectively. It may include.

Furthermore, in the WDM-PON system of the present invention shown in FIG. 4, n first wavelength divisions between the first optical transceiver and the first periodic AWG to separate the upstream signal (1300nm) and the downlink signal (1500nm). A WDM coupler may be used and n second WDM couplers may be used between the second optical transceiver and the second periodic AWG.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the WDM-PON of the present invention is designed to use a 1550 nm band for the downlink optical signal and to use a 1300 nm band for the uplink optical signal. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that it is possible to design the WDM-PON of the present invention to use the 1300 nm band for the downlink optical signal and the 1550 nm band for the uplink optical signal. Downward light generated at the transmitting end 1550F-P LD1, 1550F-P LD2, .... 1550F-P LDn among the first optical transceivers in the central base station CO of the WDM-PON according to the present invention shown in FIG. 4. The signal is delivered to the first periodic AWG through each corresponding first WDM coupler 1330/1550 coupler. The transmitted downlink optical signal is then multiplexed by the first periodic AWG and transmitted via a single mode fiber to the second periodic AWG in the remote node RN. As described above, it is preferable that a chromatic dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) is additionally used on the single mode optical fiber for chromatic dispersion compensation of the optical signal transmitted over a wide area. The multiplexed downlink optical signal arriving at the second periodic AWG is demultiplexed by the second periodic AWG and distributed to each subscriber. The distributed downlink optical signal is separated only by an optical signal of 1550 nm band by the n second WDM couplers inserted in front of each subscriber, and the separated downlink optical signal is received by the receiving end 1550PD1, 1550PD2, 1550PDn).

Transmission of the uplink optical signal is performed in the same manner as the above-described downlink optical signal. More specifically, among the second optical transceiver of the subscriber side of the WDM-PON according to the present invention shown in Figure 4 generated at the transmitting end (1300F-P LD1, 1300F-P LD2, .... 1300F-P LDn) The uplink optical signal is transmitted to the second periodic AWG through each corresponding second WDM coupler 1330/1550 coupler. The transmitted uplink optical signal is multiplexed by the second periodic AWG and transmitted via a single mode fiber to the first periodic AWG in the central base station CO. The multiplexed uplink optical signal arriving at the first periodic AWG is demultiplexed by the first periodic AWG and distributed to the first transceiver of the central base station CO. The distributed uplink optical signal is separated only by the 1300 nm band optical signal by the n first WDM couplers inserted at the front end of the first transceiver, and the separated uplink optical signal is received by the receiver 1300PD1, 1300PD2,. ... 1300PDn). Thus, it is possible for each subscriber to implement a WDM-PON that constitutes a channel independent of the central base station (ie, a pair of uplink and downlink channels).

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of adding a first judgment threshold variable circuit and a second judgment threshold variable circuit to a first PD and a second PD in an embodiment of the WDM-PON according to the present invention shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the WDM-PON of the present invention.

More specifically, in the WDM-PON of the present invention, the first PD and the second PD of the above-described first optical transceiver and the second optical transceiver for determining the performance threshold of the WDM-PON system, respectively, the determination threshold value, respectively. An adjustable decision level control circuit (DCC) may be further provided. A specific example of such a determination threshold variable device (DCC) is the inventor Lee Chang-Hee et al., And the applicant filed a patent application No. 10 on August 19, 2005 under the name of the invention "the determination threshold variable device of the receiving end of the optical communication system". Korean Patent No. 706874, filed on April 5, 2007, filed with -2005-0076330, which is incorporated by reference herein and forms part of the invention.

The above-described DCC can be implemented without using a complicated temperature control device, and a certain level of transmission efficiency can be ensured according to a change in temperature, thereby achieving the advantages of implementing the WDM-PON of the present invention at low cost. In addition, the above-described DCC is not only a wavelength-locked FP LD, but also an optical signal receiving an optical signal having a noise level of "1" level more than a noise level of "0" level, such as an optical transmission system using an amplifier or a noise light source. It has the advantage that it can be widely applied to the receiving system.

FIG. 6 shows an output spectrum and an eye diagram when an optical signal output of an FP LD used as a transmitter among the first transceivers shown in FIG. 1 is passed through a periodic AWG in the WDM-PON of the present invention. FIG. Figure is a diagram.

Referring to FIG. 6, the periodic spectral spacing (FSR) is approximately 12.8 nm, and 16 channels (12.8 nm / 0.8 nm = 16) can be accommodated when the AWG channel is 0.8 nm. You can see that. If the FSR of the periodic AWG increases, the number of subscribers (or channels) is also expected to increase as well. In addition, a method of increasing the number of subscribers includes a method of transmitting a signal by filtering only a few main modes of all the modes of the spectrum-divided F-P LD. When using this method, the transmission bandwidth used is reduced, and thus the number of subscribers can be doubled since the 1400 nm band and the 1600 nm band for additional uplink or downlink signal transmission can be obtained.

FIG. 7 shows spectrums and eye diagrams of the best case and the worst case when the optical signal is transmitted in the WDM-PON of FIG. 4 according to the present invention. Figure is shown.

Referring to FIG. 7, even when the output characteristic is the worst, the mode partition noise component is reduced, so that the noise distribution at the "1" level is large but the waveform is clean. Therefore, since the WDM-PON of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 has an insensitive characteristic to temperature change, it is possible to implement a very low-cost WDM-PON without requiring an additional control circuit for temperature compensation. Will have

One graph. Referring to FIG. 8, a minimum optical power (receive sensitivity) of about -33 dBm is required to obtain a 10 ^-9 BER. However, when using the decision threshold variable circuit (DCC) as shown in FIG. 5, the reception sensitivity is improved by about 3 dB. It can be seen.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which two or more optical fibers are used in the configuration of the WDM-PON according to the present invention shown in FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 10, when two or more optical fibers are used in the configuration of the WDM-PON illustrated in FIG. 4, when comparing only a transmitter and a receiver, two or more modes may be transmitted when transmitting a transmission signal through one optical fiber. You can easily understand that there is.

The wavelength division multiplexing passive optical subscriber network (WDM-PON) according to the present invention achieves the following advantages.

1. The structure of WDM-PON is simple and can be implemented at low cost.

2. It is possible to economically implement WDM-PON by using inexpensive F-P LD as a light source and using periodic AWG having periodic transmission characteristics that perform wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing functions.

3. The decision threshold adjustment circuit (DCC) is used at the receiving end to improve the reception sensitivity by improving the performance of the WDM-PON system.

4. By applying forward error correction (FEC) to the uplink or downlink transceiver, it is possible to transmit a high-speed signal of 622 Mbps.

5. Unlike the WDM-PON using the conventional distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD), it is not necessary to fix the wavelength of the light source in the AWG passband wavelength, so that any F-P LD can be used.

6. Since the WDM-PON system can be configured very insensitive to temperature and other environmental factors, it is unnecessary to use expensive controllers and therefore additional supervisory control protocols for temperature compensation.

7. On the subscriber side, wavelength independent or color-less WDM-PON implementation is possible.

It is not.
