Abstract

The check of optical fiber breakpoints is judged by abnormal optical reflection quantity. In general, relatively strong reflection quantity is used as the judgment criterion of optical fiber breakpoints. Because optical signal has a property of attenuation proportional to distance during optical fiber transmission, misjudgment often happens. The invention provides a compensation method of the optical fiber reflection signals to compensate the distance-induced attenuation and further to make the breakpoint judgment more accurate. One of the embodiments is through emitting multi-cycle signals, each cycle emits fix or random pulse signals into a fiber that needs to check breakpoints, following by receiving the reflected signals. Then use multiple different high voltages modulated signals to sequentially and repeat modulate, amplify and sample the reflected signals to reduce the misjudgment arising from further distance-induced reflection intensity attenuation. Another embodiment is according to the power loss of actual measurement data due to optical fiber transmission, provide a power loss compensation equation and use it to calculate the corresponding compensated reflection signal of each measured refection signal. With this method, the compensated reflection signals can be amplified and then are used to judge and calculate the breakpoint positions according to the abnormal reflection signals with stronger intensity.

The network needs to detect the fiber. There are many detection methods, which are mainly divided into manual simple measurement and precision instrument measurement. Manual and simple measurement - the basic detection of light by _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Whether it is illuminated or not. Although this method is easy to measure the attenuation of the optical signal in the fiber, it is impossible to determine the position of the fiber break point. As for the precision instrumentation, the optical fiber is usually quantitatively measured using an optical power meter or a 时ptical Time Domain Reflectometer (0TDR) to measure the amount of signal attenuation in the fiber and the amount of attenuation at the joint. It can also be used to measure the position of the fiber break point. This measurement can be used to quantify the cause of fiber network failures and to evaluate fiber-optic network products. Another known measurement method is the backscatter method, which is a method of measuring attenuation along the length of the fiber. When the beam propagates along the fiber, the fiber will continuously produce Rayleigh scattering due to the slight unevenness of the refractive index of the fiber itself, and some of the scattered light will propagate back to the input end. In other words, although in the normally used fiber, most of the optical power is forward propagating, from the input end to the output end, there is also a small amount of optical power that is transmitted toward the input end to the backscatter. Therefore, by injecting laser light into the fiber and monitoring the intensity variation of the backscattered light generated in the fiber, an attenuation curve along the length of the fiber can be obtained. This technology can be used to detect the scattering coefficient, loss and connection points, coupling points, breakpoints, etc. in the fiber. There are two kinds of backscattered light that can be measured in the 200831872 fiber. One is Rayleigh scattered light, the other is Rayleigh scattered light. It is the Fresnel reflection produced by the fiber section or fiber connection. The measurement principle of the optical time domain reflectometer is based on the backscattering of light and the Fresnel reflection principle, and the backscattered light generated by the propagation of light in the optical fiber is used to obtain the attenuation information. Therefore, by using the spectroscope to monitor the time curve of backscattering at the incident of light, it can not only measure the length and attenuation of the access fiber, but also detect local irregularities, breakpoints and joints and connectors. Optical power loss. In the search for the fiber breakpoint, since the reflected signal generated by the optical signal transmitted along the optical fiber at the breakpoint of the fiber is reflected by the inner wall of the normal fiber far beyond the breakpoint, the optical time domain reflectometer is used for monitoring. The time at which this larger reflected signal is received, combined with the fixed value of the speed of light, can be used to derive the breakpoint position of the fiber. The first figure in the drawing schematically shows an embodiment of such a fiber breakpoint search, and the second figure shows a typical example of a light reflection amount distribution map that can be obtained by the known method for finding a fiber breakpoint. . However, there are some problems when using an optical time domain reflectometer to measure the fiber breakpoint position. For example, as shown in the second figure, since the optical signal increases the distance in the optical fiber and increases the loss, the amount of light reflection in the optical fiber decreases as the distance from the incident of the light increases, so in this application Underneath, the amount of reflection at a close distance will be larger, and the amount of reflection at a distance will be reduced, so the normal reflection amount of the inner wall of the fiber at a close distance is likely to be larger than the light signal reflected from the distal break point. The maximum reflected signal received is not necessarily the breakpoint from the fiber, which may cause errors in the calculation and judgment of the breakpoint position of the fiber. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a more accurate fiber breakpoint finding method to solve the defects of the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a fiber breakpoint finding method that can more accurately determine the position of a fiber breakpoint. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of compensating for a fiber breakpoint reflection signal for more accurately determining the position of a fiber breakpoint. 6 200831872 According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for compensating a fiber breakpoint reflection signal, comprising: transmitting a plurality of rounds of pulse signals, each of which transmits a fixed or indefinite number of pulse signals to a breakpoint to be found Inside the fiber, and receiving the signal reflected from the fiber, and then using a plurality of high voltage modulation signals of different voltages to repeatedly reflect, amplify and sample the reflected signal reflected from the fiber to reduce the position of the breakpoint When the intensity of the reflected signal is weakened, the position of the breakpoint is misjudged. According to another aspect of the present invention, a loss calculation formula is provided based on the measured data in the loss generated by the optical signal transmitted in the optical fiber, and the corresponding compensation of the mother-measurement reflected signal is calculated by using the calculation formula. Reflected signal. With the thus compensated reflected signal, it is possible to amplify the reflected signal and determine and estimate the position of the fiber breakpoint based on the intensity of the abnormally reflected signal. The principles and applications of the present invention are described with respect to the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings. [Embodiment] Referring to the second drawing, there is shown a fiber breakpoint locator which can be applied to the present invention to implement the fiber breakpoint finding method of the present invention, which is indicated by the number u in the description. According to the present invention, the fiber breakpoint locator 11 can be a known laser range finder including a signal transmitting circuit 20 having a laser diode (LD) 22 for emitting a laser pulse. Signal 24. In carrying out the method of the present invention, this laser pulse signal 22 is injected into the fiber 12 (see Figure 4) where the breakpoint is to be sought. The fiber breakpoint locator u additionally includes a signal receiving circuit 26 having a photodiode (APD) 28 that is operable to receive a reflection from a target within the fiber 12 (in this case, a breakpoint of the fiber) The reflected signal 30 is coming back. After receiving and processing the reflected signal 30, the signal receiving circuit 26 transmits a corresponding signal No. 4 to a sampling circuit 34 for sampling, and further processes the data through the data processing f element 36 to obtain the reflected signal 30. The difference between the time and the emission time of the pulse signal 22, and thereby the fixed value of the speed of light, is used to calculate the target distance within the fiber. In the present invention, the conventional laser range finder is applied to the search operation of the fiber breakpoint to determine the position of the fiber breakpoint of 200831872. The operation of the fiber break determination method of the present invention is schematically shown in the fourth figure. As described above, the optical fiber breakpoint locator 11 for implementing the optical fiber break finding method of the present invention includes a transmitting circuit 20 and a receiving circuit 26, a sampling circuit 34, a data processing unit 36, and the like having optical signals, which are permeable to signals. The laser diode 22 of the transmitting circuit 2 emits a laser pulse signal into the optical fiber 12 where the breakpoint is to be found. When the optical signal is transmitted in the optical fiber 12, the light will be reflected during the transmission, and when the breakpoint is encountered, the abnormal reflection occurs at the breakpoint, that is, the amount of reflection suddenly increases, and then quickly falls back, such as the second. The figure is shown at 4〇. When the reflected light is purely received by the signal receiving circuit 26 of the fiber breakpoint locator η through the photodiode 28 and converted into Wei Qian, after processing the Wei Qi Qian, it is possible to know the money transmission and reception _ Shi County, _ The position of the fiber breakpoint can be obtained by binding the distance between the fiber breakpoint and the fiber breakpoint locator. However, if the 'in addition to the fiber breakpoint, the normal fiber inner wall will also reflect the side of the optical signal, and the reflection number will be attenuated with the distance _, so it is often affected in determining the fiber point, resulting in Misjudgment. According to the present invention, there is provided a compensation method for adding compensation for light signals reflected from an optical fiber to correct misjudgment due to distance. According to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of high-voltage signals of different potentials are used to sequentially perform multiple times, amplification, and sampling on the reflected coins that are reversed from the optical fiber, and the position of the breakpoint is more reflexive. The intensity is weakened by the influence of the ageing. The method for compensating the breakpoint inverse signal of the present invention will be described below by way of an example for the method of the present invention. First, the first round continuously transmits a plurality of (first number) transmitted pulse signals. In the description, the first-number is twenty (2 〇), but may be other suitable quantities. The twenty transmit pulses can be ribbed with the same or different _ rate and amplitude (or the bit receives the twenty (first number) reflected signals that are reflected back by the fiber. For each of the ^ reflected signals has the first - the first of the voltage - the modulation signal is carried out 'and then amplified - the predetermined first - magnification. If the first - voltage is high, then the near reflection from the fiber _ (four) meets the surface of the saturated weave, and from the relatively weak signal Being magnified - received, but not up to the job.

And) and the low voltage level, respectively, with high and low logic levels (ie "i,, spot ''〇>, which is represented by the test, and stores such digital data in the database. After the first round transmits the pulse signal, each _ sampling point will have the first (here twenty) high and low logic level data.

Scale two to discuss the _ = = = amount is taken with the number - number Na Transmitting a signal by using a second modulated signal having a second voltage to amplify the reflected signal by a predetermined second magnification. The second voltage is lower than the foregoing The _ voltage, so the second magnification will be less than the first release rate. In this case, the reflected signal from the near _ is twice as large as 大 = full; only; the same 'distance' The signal will still be sized and smashed, and the reflected signal at the fiber breakpoint may still be stored in the database. The south-low logic of the TM-rounder repeats the above-mentioned Wei, receive, modulation, amplification, sampling, Record the same or multiple rounds, that is, the third round, the fourth round, ..., etc.).

It is not certain that 200831872 can choose to transmit the same number of pulse signals (such as the aforementioned - solid pulse signal) in each round. In addition, the number of repeated rounds can be determined according to the specific situation, for example, ten times. After the operation described above, each sampling point will have the same number of rounds, multiplied by the number of ^ pulses, and the number of domains K (in the case of the number of "generalized impulses", that is, in the aforementioned number of transactions The high and low logic level data of the first case, the second quantity, ..., etc., if the pulse signal of ten rounds is transmitted, and each pulse emits 20 pulse money, each _ sample point will be ^ 200 (=1〇χ20) "逻辑,, or 丫 logical data. In each round, "transmit ft rush signal (four)" is not more than __ towel, each _ 阙 阙 概 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The sum of the quantities, and. According to the present invention, the logical data of each sampling point is summed up, and the summed maximum value is the sum of all the "number of transmitted pulse signals," because it is conceivable that each sampling point is at each time. The logic obtained in the signal reflected by the pulse signal is not two, and if each time is 丨, the maximum value is the number of times the pulse signal is transmitted. In the above ten rounds, each round twenty In the example of a pulse signal, the maximum value that can be obtained at any sampling point is 200. ' In addition, it can be understood that the sum of the logical data can be added after each sampling, or at the end. Once added, the latter will need to use more memory to store the relevant data. Since the reflected signal in the far side is relatively weak, even if the lower voltage is used for high voltage modulation, it may be amplified, so the breakpoint is The sum of the sampling logic data will be relatively large, making it less likely to cause errors. Therefore, based on the foregoing, the compensation method of the present invention can make a general judgment. The method of point position is more precise. In other words, a reference value can be set, for example, 120 (for the above-mentioned maximum value 2〇〇 example), when the sum of the logical data of the distant sampling point is larger than the reference value, it can be determined as a fiber break. Although the sampling of the reflected signal is performed at a predetermined frequency, each sampling point represents a time point. Also, since the speed of light is fixed, the time point is separated from the fiber by the pulse emission (ie, the fiber in the fourth figure is broken). The point locator 11) has a proportional relationship, and can calculate the actual position of the breakpoint on the optical fiber from the corresponding sampling point of the fiber breakpoint. 200831872 By the foregoing operation, the strong signal in the vicinity can be modulated at a higher voltage. When it is saturated, it cannot be amplified, and the weak signal in the distance is not saturated yet and is rounded every turn, so that it can compensate for the distant reflected signal (and the reflected signal at the far-end fiber break point) because of the distance. Long and attenuated Hz, which in turn makes the simple point turn off more correct.
