Services that transmit data directly to the client via fiber will be the mainstream of future broadband link applications, such as Fiber To The Cabinet (FTTCab), Fiber To The Curb (FTTC), Fiber to The Fiber To The Building (FTTB) and Fiber To The Home (FTTH), which are collectively referred to as FTTx. Passive Optical Network (PO0 is based on passive optical fiber architecture, which is a competitive link technology. The first figure shows a schematic diagram of a traditional passive optical network 100 system architecture, where the optical line terminal equipment 110 (0ptical Line Terminator, 0LT) is externally connected to the fiber link trunk, and the optical signal transmitted by the fiber line terminal device is transmitted through the optical fiber via the passive component optical splitter (Splitter, SP> 120, and the optical signal is separately broadcasted to each The end user, that is, the optical network unit (Optical Network Unit, 5 200841640 * * .〇·) 131-134. The signal uploaded by the optical network unit 131_134 is coupled to the optical line terminal device via the optical and the splitter 120. 110. With the popularity of fiber-optic network applications, the fault diagnosis of fiber-optic links is becoming more and more important. Referring to the second figure, it shows a schematic diagram of the disconnection of the fiber-optic network. Assume that the optical splitter 120 to the optical network The fiber link between the units 134 is broken, and the maintenance personnel cannot immediately judge the fault as the fiber line terminator U0 to the light after receiving the customer response. The disconnector 120 is disconnected, or the optical splitter I20 to the optical network single 70 134 disconnected. In addition, the externally mounted optical cable may also be affected by external forces, resulting in deterioration of transmission quality, such as during construction. Cautious extrusion, collision, < even bending due to the influence of gravity. This - the deterioration process is slow, often not easy to detect immediately, but the accumulation of fault conditions will cause user inconvenience, affecting goodwill. These failure events have traditionally been The optical link point detection device such as the optical time domain reflector-(four) tiffie_dQmain reflWtxr; 喔) can be used to locate the faults and points. The optical time domain reflector is naturally reflected back by the fiber test signal at different time points. The optical power is compared with the previously recorded original fiber quality trace to determine where the fault code or break point is. However, the optical time domain reflector cannot effectively interpret the tree passive as shown in the first and second figures. The state of the optical fiber network, because of its difficulty (4) occupational students at the end of the seam network (four) structure based on the shortcomings of the above traditional technology, it is necessary to propose - fiber optic chain 6 200841640 road monitoring method The system is not enough for the conventional technology such as fill-in time-domain reflector. It can monitor the recording fiber transmission quality in time to replace the degraded fiber-optic cable in time, and it can be judged immediately when the sudden fiber-optic cable is broken. The invention provides a fiber-to-link monitoring method for a passive optical fiber network, which can instantly determine the disconnection position of the optical fiber link and shorten the maintenance time. One objective is to propose a fiber optic link monitoring method for passive fiber optic networks to detect the quality of the fiber link and replace the degraded fiber optic cable early. It is still another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for implementing the optical fiber link monitoring method of the above-described passive optical network. In accordance with the above objects, the present invention provides a fiber optic link monitoring system including a master monitoring device and a plurality of responding devices, wherein the master monitoring device broadcasts a specific command to the plurality of responding devices to request one of the plurality of responding devices The responding device continuously returns a specific response optical signal of a first specific time length, and the master monitoring device determines whether the specific fiber link connected to one of the specific response devices is normal according to the condition of the specific response optical signal receiving. 7 200841640 The present invention also provides a fiber optic link monitoring method, comprising the steps of: broadcasting a specific command from a master monitoring device to a plurality of responding devices to request that one of the plurality of responding devices continues to transmit back one of the responding devices Determining a specific response optical signal by one of the first specific time lengths; returning the specific response optical signal to the primary monitoring device from the specific response device; and determining the specific fiber link connected to the specific response device according to the condition of the specific response optical signal reception ' Nothing is normal. [Embodiment] A detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is as follows, but the present invention can be widely applied to other embodiments in addition to the detailed description. That is, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments which have been proposed, and the scope of the claims of the present invention shall prevail. Further, in order to provide a clearer description and a better understanding of the present invention, the various parts of the drawings are not drawn according to their relative dimensions, and some dimensions have been exaggerated compared to other related dimensions; the unrelated details are not Completely drawn 'to make the map not simple. FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a fiber optic network system 300 having a fiber optic link monitoring function according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes an optical fiber line terminal device 310, a main control monitoring device 340, an optical splitter 320, and a response device 350. -35CK 4 (hereinafter collectively referred to as responding device 350) and fiber optic network unit 8 200841640 • Having committed 0·1—330·4. In comparison with the conventional fiber optic network system 100 of the first figure, it is known that the master monitoring device 340 and the response device 350 are the main devices newly added to perform the monitoring function of the present invention. The fiber optic line termination device 310' is coupled to a master monitoring device 340 that is coupled to the optical splitter 32A via a primary fiber link 360. The optical splitter 320 is coupled to the response device 350. 1-350.4 via fiber optic links 361-364, respectively. The response devices 350· 1-350.4 are connected to the respective fiber optic network units 33 〇. In the present embodiment, the master monitoring device 340 broadcasts an optical signal having a wavelength of 850 nm (narometer; nanometer) by Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology to command each response device to continuously send a response to the optical signal. The length of time, for example 2 seconds. The optical splitter 320 forwards the broadcast optical signals to respective response devices 350· 1-350.4. It should be noted that 85〇11111 is only an example. The broadcast optical signal does not limit the specific wavelength, and it only needs to avoid the wavelength used by the existing communication optical signal. Continuous illumination for 2 seconds is also not limited, and the specific length of time is sufficient to measure the response optical power. The response device 350. 1 - 350· 4 returns the optical signal of the 780 leg to the master monitoring device 340 after receiving the illumination command. This return wavelength is also only an example, which only needs to avoid the existing transmission wavelength. After receiving the returned optical signal, the master monitoring device 340 can analyze and record the optical power to determine whether the fiber link 330· 1-330.4 connected to the response device 350· 1-350.4 is normal. For example, if 200841640 does not receive the returned optical signal, the returned optical signal power is too low (less than a specific threshold value) or too high (greater than another specific threshold value), then it can be determined that the connection to the device 350 · The fiber link 330·330·4 of Bu 350·4 may occur differently. In addition, based on the status of all of the backhaul optical signals, it can be comprehensively determined whether the location of the fault is located between the primary monitoring device 340 and the optical fiber link 32.

The laser light source 340b and the optical power detecting unit 340d are both connected to the central processing unit 340a. The central processing unit 340a requires the laser light source 340b to transmit a light signal having a wavelength of 850 nm to carry a specific command to command a specific responding device (for example, the responding device 350.1) ) Respond to a light signal. The 85 〇 nm optical signal is broadcasted externally by the optical wavelength coupler 340c and the connected fiber link. Upon receipt of the optical signal of the 780 nm wavelength returned from the particular responding device, it is transmitted to the optical power detecting unit 34〇d via the optical wavelength coupler 340c. The result of the measurement by the central processing unit 340a to the optical power detecting unit 34〇d is analyzed in accordance with the method of the aforementioned 200841640. If the result is normal, the central processing unit 3 will start and move the next test device of the response device; if the result is abnormal, the central processing will determine that the abnormal condition is disconnection, line deterioration or other situation, and the sub-activation is related. Alert or handler. The central processing unit can include a memory device to record historical optical power measurements for determining the quality degradation of the line. • Figure 5, 4 is not in accordance with the present invention - the response device of the embodiment of the power of the month b block о its package 3 light wave coherence device, the optical power detection unit 3' towel processing early 35 〇 a and laser light source this. The light wavelength shank is connected to the external light _ road unit (not shown (4)) and the fiber key (not shown). The optical wavelength light combiner is also connected to the laser light source 350b and the optical power detecting unit 35〇d. The laser light source b and the optical power detecting unit 350d are both connected to the central processing unit. The 85Gnm wavelength optical signal from the master supervisory device is transmitted to the optical power detection 350d via the optical wavelength coupler 35A, and the specific command is parsed by the central processing unit 35A. If the central processing unit 350a finds that the target of the specific command is the response device 700, the laser source 35〇1) is required to continuously send a light signal with a wavelength of 780 nm through the optical wavelength coupler 35 (: and the fiber link is transmitted back) Figure 6 is a flow chart showing a method for monitoring an optical fiber link according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes steps 601 to 607. In step 601, the main control device of the optical fiber terminal device broadcasts a specific command to 11 200841640 > Response device for each fiber network unit end. In this embodiment, the specific command is carried by a wave of light of 850 nm, and a specific response device is commanded to respond to an optical signal for 2 耖. In step 602, all the responding devices receive the specific command. In step 6〇3, the #定定回装置 device in the specific command is returned by the optical signal with a wavelength of 780 nm for a duration of -2. In step 6〇4 The master monitoring device analyzes the optical signals returned by the specific response device during the time, such as the presence or absence of the signal and the power color of the park, the temple.
