Description

波分复用无源光网络 技术领域  Wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network
本发明涉及光纤通信, 具体地说, 是一种基于大功率光纤激光器的波分复用无 源光网络。 背景技术  The present invention relates to fiber optic communications, and more particularly to a wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network based on a high power fiber laser. Background technique
随着光纤通信特别是波分复用 (WDM: Wavelength Division Mutiplexing) 技术 的发展, 用于长途和城域通信的骨干网带宽迅速增加, 与之不协调的是, 多年来用 于连接电信运营商和终端用户的接入网一直使用铜线技术,而没有伴随着骨干网的 发展而升级换代。 无论是早期的 56k Modem, ISDN, 还是现在的 ADSL、 VDSL 技术, 用户一直利用电话线路接入互联网, 导致带宽被限制在数 10Mbps以下。 大 宽带业务如视频点播的应用、 用户对接入带宽的需求不断增大, 使得铜线技术已经 不能胜任。  With the development of fiber-optic communication, especially Wavelength Division Mutiplexing (WDM) technology, the backbone network bandwidth for long-distance and metropolitan area communication is rapidly increasing. Inconsistent with it, it has been used to connect telecom operators for many years. The access network with the end user has been using copper technology, and has not been upgraded with the development of the backbone network. Whether it is the early 56k Modem, ISDN, or the current ADSL, VDSL technology, users have been using the telephone line to access the Internet, resulting in bandwidth limited to below 10Mbps. The application of large-bandwidth services such as video on demand and the increasing demand for access bandwidth by users have made copper technology incapable.
2003 年以后, 随着成本下降和技术的成熟, 光线到户 (FTTH: Fiber To The Home) 的概念逐步为大众所接受, 铺设光接入网成为各大运营商和设备商讨论的 热点。 从技术的角度看, 当前 FTTH主要有两种拓扑结构: 点对点 (单星) 结构以 及点对多点结构, 其中, 点对多点结构包括有源双星结构以及无源双星结构(或称 无源光网络 PON: Passive Optical Network)。 在无源双星结构中, 又有不同的复用 接入方案, 例如: 时分复用接入 (TDMA, 现行的标准有 APON BPON, GPON, EPON等); 波分复用接入 (WDMA, 如 WDM-PON); 副载波复用接入 (SCMA) 以及多种方式混合接入(例如 WDM+SCMA, WDM+TDMA)等。其中 APON/BPON, GPON和 EPON的技术标准已由 TU-T、 IEEE等机构制定。  After 2003, with the cost reduction and the maturity of technology, the concept of FTTH: Fiber To The Home has gradually been accepted by the public. The deployment of optical access networks has become a hot topic for major operators and equipment vendors. From a technical point of view, current FTTH has two main topologies: point-to-point (single-star) structure and point-to-multipoint structure, where point-to-multipoint structure includes active double-star structure and passive double-star structure (or passive) Optical Network PON: Passive Optical Network). In the passive double-star structure, there are different multiplexing access schemes, such as: time division multiplexing access (TDMA, current standards include APON BPON, GPON, EPON, etc.); wavelength division multiplexing access (WDMA, such as WDM-PON); Subcarrier Multiple Access (SCMA) and hybrid access in multiple modes (eg WDM+SCMA, WDM+TDMA). The technical standards of APON/BPON, GPON and EPON have been formulated by TU-T, IEEE and other institutions.
如图 1所示, PON的基本结构为: 光纤一端连接局端(CO: Central Office), 另 一端通过无源光分路器 (POS: Passive Optical Splitter) 与多路用户相连接。 同样提 供 N个用户接入, 单星结构需要 N根光纤馈线以及 2N个收发器,有源双星结构需 要 1根光纤馈线以及 2N+2个收发器, 而 PON仅需要 1根光纤馈线, N+1个收发 器。 PON所需的光纤以及收发器的数量最少, 成本最低, 因此对现阶段推进 FTTH 建设毫无疑问是合适的。  As shown in Figure 1, the basic structure of the PON is: one end of the fiber is connected to the central office (CO: Central Office), and the other end is connected to multiple users through a passive optical splitter (POS: Passive Optical Splitter). N user access is also provided. The single-star structure requires N fiber feeders and 2N transceivers. The active double-star structure requires 1 fiber feeder and 2N+2 transceivers. The PON requires only 1 fiber feeder, N+. 1 transceiver. PON requires the least amount of fiber and transceiver, and the lowest cost, so it is undoubtedly appropriate to promote FTTH construction at this stage.
图 2是采用 GPON (Gigabit-capable PON) 或者 EPON(Ethernet PON)技术的三 网合一 FTTH 方案示意图。 系统由局端设备光线路终端 (OLT: Optical Line Terminal)、光纤馈线、无源光分路器 POS以及用户端设备光网络单元(ONU: Optical Network Unit)构成。 在局端, OLT将下行的音频、 视频以及其它数据统一打包成 以太网数据帧, 以光信号的形式发送给客户。 用户端 ONU接受以太网数据帧, 将 数据处理后传送给相应的终端,例如电话、 电视或者电脑等。上行时 ONU将音频、 视频和数据打包成以太网数据帧, 以光信号发送给 OLT。 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a triple play FTTH solution using GPON (Gigabit-capable PON) or EPON (Ethernet PON) technology. The system consists of the optical line terminal (OLT: Optical Line Terminal), the optical fiber feeder, the passive optical splitter POS, and the optical equipment unit of the customer premises equipment (ONU: Optical Network Unit). At the central office, the OLT uniformly packs the downlink audio, video, and other data into Ethernet data frames and sends them to the client in the form of optical signals. The client ONU accepts Ethernet data frames, and processes the data and transmits it to the corresponding terminal, such as a telephone, a television, or a computer. On the uplink, the ONU packs the audio, video, and data into Ethernet data frames and sends them to the OLT as optical signals.
GPON/EPON的主要问题在于, 由于多个用户在局端共享一个收发器, 每个用 户实际所能分配的带宽远小于收发器的带宽。 以 32户 EPON接入为例, 每位用户 配备收发器的带宽均为 1.25Gbps, 但分享之后平均带宽只有 30Mbps左右。 尽管 30Mbps 已经大大超过目前铜线接入的带宽, 但是在今后三网合一的背景下, 随着 诸如 HDTV等宽带应用的普及, 预计到 2010年 30Mbps的带宽就会成为新的接入 瓶颈。  The main problem with GPON/EPON is that since multiple users share a transceiver at the central office, the bandwidth that each user can actually allocate is much smaller than the bandwidth of the transceiver. Taking 32 EPON access as an example, each user is equipped with a transceiver with a bandwidth of 1.25 Gbps, but the average bandwidth after sharing is only about 30 Mbps. Although 30Mbps has greatly exceeded the bandwidth of current copper access, in the future, in the context of triple play, with the popularity of broadband applications such as HDTV, it is expected that 30Mbps bandwidth will become a new access bottleneck by 2010.
突破这一瓶颈, 必须是每个用户独享局端的一个收发器, 在 PON已经大量建 立的情况下, 最简捷的升级方案是部署 WDM-PON。  To break through this bottleneck, it must be a transceiver for each user's exclusive central office. In the case that PON has been established in a large number, the simplest upgrade solution is to deploy WDM-PON.
WDM-PON的原理如图 3所示,系统釆用 2N个波长给 N个用户提供接入服务, 每个用户上、 下行各采用一个波长), 其中波长 ½+1、 λΝ+2...λ用于数据下行, 经 局端 WDM复用器件进入下行光纤,在靠近用户的远端节点 RN被解复用后分配给 不同的用户; 、 2.. 1^用于数据上行, 在远端节点被复用进入上行光纤, 至局端 被解复用后由接收机接收。其中, DFB激光器被用来作为高速率数据传输的 WDM 光源; 而在低速率的情况下,可以考虑低成本的光谱分割(Spectrum-slicing)方案; 每个用户配备相同谱线结构的 LED, 发出的宽光谱信号通过波分复用 /解复用时被 过滤出不同的波长, 用于上 /下行数据传输。 The principle of WDM-PON is shown in Figure 3. The system uses 2N wavelengths to provide access services for N users. Each user uses one wavelength for uplink and downlink, where wavelengths are 1⁄2 +1 and λ Ν+2 . .λ 2Ν is used for data downlink, and enters the downlink fiber through the central-end WDM multiplexing device, and is allocated to different users after the remote node RN close to the user is demultiplexed; 2 .. 1 ^ is used for data uplink, The remote node is multiplexed into the upstream fiber and received by the receiver after the central office is demultiplexed. Among them, DFB lasers are used as WDM light sources for high-rate data transmission; at low rates, low-cost spectrum-slicing schemes can be considered; each user is equipped with LEDs of the same spectral structure, The wide spectral signal is filtered out of different wavelengths by wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing for uplink/downlink data transmission.
光谱分割方案的低成本优势来源于两个方面, 一是器件成本低, LED的价格要 远远低于 WDM系统通常使用的 DFB或 DBR激光器; 二是用户可配备相同的 LED, 而无需不同波长的激光器, 铺设和运行维护成本大幅降低。但是光谱分割方案的缺 点也是显而易见的: LED本身发光功率较小 (约 -10dBm), 而光谱分割又会带来较 大的功率损失, 从而导致接收光功率过低, 系统误码率升高。 只有降低数据传输速 率, 系统才可以维持较低的误码率, 因此 LED光谱分割方案一般只能应用在低速率 接入的场合。为了克服这一缺陷,研究人员用超辐射发光二极管(Super luminescent Diodes: SLD) 结合掺铒光纤放大器 (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier: EDFA), 放大 自发辐射 (Amplified Spontaneous Emission: ASE)光源, 以及光谱展宽的法布里- 珀罗激光器 (FP-LD)等来取代 LED进行光谱分割, 使系统获得了一定的改进, 但 是对于高速率的应用,其效果仍然不够理想(S.L Woodward et αί, "A spectrally sliced PON employing Fabry-Perot lasers," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol.10, pp.1337-1339, Sep. 1998) 。 降低 WDM接入网成本的另一个技术方案是光回送 (Loop-Back) 技术。 Kobrinsky等人 (H. Kobrinski et al, "Laser power sharing in the subscriber loop," Electron. Lett, vol.23, pp.943-944, 1987以及: N. J. Frigo et al, "A wavelength-division multiplexing passive optical network with cost-shared components," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol.6, pp.1365-1367, Nov. 1994)提出, 在用户端不必要配备高成本的 激光器, 只需要将一部分下行光利用半导体或 LiNbO3调制器调制后回送至上行光 纤, 即可完成上行数据的传输。 其原理如图 4所示, 下行数据包按时间分为两段, 前段为调制过的信号, 用于传输下行数据; 后段是未经调制的连续光, 在用户端 (ONU)被调制后回送, 用于传输上行数据。这种方案简省了用户端激光器, 但局 端需配备高成本的 DFB或 DBR激光器, 阻碍了成本的进一步降低。 The low cost advantage of the spectral segmentation scheme comes from two aspects. One is the low cost of the device, the price of the LED is much lower than the DFB or DBR laser commonly used in WDM systems; the other is that the user can be equipped with the same LED without different wavelengths. The cost of lasers, laying and operation and maintenance is drastically reduced. However, the shortcomings of the spectral segmentation scheme are also obvious: the LED itself has a small luminous power (about -10 dBm), and the spectral segmentation causes a large power loss, resulting in a low received optical power and an increased system error rate. Only by reducing the data transmission rate can the system maintain a low bit error rate. Therefore, the LED spectrum division scheme can only be applied to low-rate access. To overcome this shortcoming, the researchers used Super luminescent Diodes (SLD) combined with Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) source, and spectral broadening. The Fabry-Perot laser (FP-LD) replaces the LED for spectral segmentation, which gives the system some improvement, but for high-rate applications, the effect is still not ideal (SL Woodward et αί, "A spectrally Sliced PON employing Fabry-Perot lasers, "IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol. 10, pp. 1337-1339, Sep. 1998). Another technical solution to reduce the cost of WDM access networks is the Loop-Back technology. Kobrinsky et al. (H. Kobrinski et al, "Laser power sharing in the subscriber loop," Electron. Lett, vol. 23, pp. 943-944, 1987 and: NJ Frigo et al, "A wavelength-division multiplexing passive optical Network with cost-shared components," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol.6, pp.1365-1367, Nov. 1994) proposes that it is not necessary to equip the user with a high-cost laser, and only a part of the downstream light needs to be used in the semiconductor. After the LiNbO 3 modulator is modulated and sent back to the upstream fiber, the uplink data can be transmitted. The principle is shown in Figure 4. The downlink data packet is divided into two segments according to time. The previous segment is a modulated signal for transmitting downlink data. The latter segment is unmodulated continuous light, which is modulated by the user terminal (ONU). Loopback, used to transmit upstream data. This solution simplifies the customer-side laser, but the central office needs to be equipped with a high-cost DFB or DBR laser, which hinders further cost reduction.
最近,基于放大自发辐射注入 FP激光器( ASE-injected Fabry-Perot Laser Diode) 的低成本 WDM-PON方案引起了广泛的关注。 通常, 由于 FP-LD产生的激光输出 含有多个纵模(多个波长),并不适合 WDM应用。 Chang-Hee Lee等人利用 FP-LD 的注入模式锁定原理, 用掺铒光纤自发辐射产生宽带非相干光, 通过光谱分割得到 窄带光源, 将其注入到 FP-LD, 迫使 FP-LD产生单纵模的激光输出, 并成功应用 于 32波长, 125Mbps, 接入距离为 20km的 WDM-PON。 他们的实验系统如图 5 所示, 局端宽带光源 (BLS: Broad-band Light Source)提供宽带非相干光, 经环形 器送入下行光纤, 注入 FP-LD, 强迫 FP-LD产生单纵模激光输出。 对 FP-LD进行 直接调制,信号光经 AWG波长复用后送入光纤上行,经局端环形器后由接收机 RX 读取数据。  Recently, a low-cost WDM-PON scheme based on ASE-injected Fabry-Perot Laser Diode has attracted widespread attention. In general, the FP-LD produces a laser output that contains multiple longitudinal modes (multiple wavelengths) and is not suitable for WDM applications. Chang-Hee Lee et al. used the injection mode locking principle of FP-LD to generate broadband incoherent light by self-radiation of erbium-doped fiber, and obtained a narrow-band source by spectral splitting, which was injected into FP-LD, forcing FP-LD to produce single longitudinal The laser output of the mode is successfully applied to WDM-PON with a wavelength of 32 km and an access distance of 20 km. Their experimental system is shown in Figure 5. The broadband broadband source (BLS: Broad-band Light Source) provides broadband incoherent light, which is sent to the downstream fiber through the circulator, injected into the FP-LD, forcing the FP-LD to produce a single longitudinal mode. Laser output. The FP-LD is directly modulated, and the signal light is multiplexed by the AWG wavelength and sent to the optical fiber for uplink. After the central circulator, the receiver RX reads the data.
上述方案的优点是成本低廉, 相关技术均已成熟, 并且所有用户端配备相同的 FP-LD, 系统维护方便, 较易实施。 但是, 从 2000年迄今, 其试验系统的接入速 率一直停留在 100Mbps左右, 对于更高速率的应用 (例如, lGbps)是否可行, 尚 需深入研究。  The advantages of the above solution are low cost, the related technologies are mature, and all the users are equipped with the same FP-LD, and the system is easy to maintain and easy to implement. However, since 2000, the access rate of its test system has been staying at around 100 Mbps. For higher speed applications (for example, lGbps), it is still necessary to conduct in-depth research.
光电子的另外一个领域, 即大功率光纤激光器, 经过三十多年的发展, 也取得 了丰硕的成果, 目前其主要应用在激光加工、 打标等领域。 现在铒-镱共掺光纤激 光器(Er-Yb co-doped fiber laser) 已经能够提供 1550nm波长区域(密集波分复用 光纤通信系统的工作波长)的稳定激光输出。下列文献报导这个领域最近的几个代 表性进展: 利用分布布拉格反射结构 (DBR: Distributed Bragg Reflector) 的光纤激 光器可产生 20mW 的功率输出, 谱线宽度窄于 2kHz ( Ch. Spiegelberg et al., "Low-noise narrow-linewidth fiber laser at 1550nm (June 2003)," J. Lightwave Technol, vol. 22, pp.57-62, 2004); 利用大芯径铒 -镱共惨光纤激光器 (large-core Er-Yb co-doped fiber laser) 以及可调谐窄带光纤布拉格光栅(FBG: Fiber Bragg), 可以产 生在 1532nm至 1567nm之间波长可调的激光输出,功率达到 40W,线宽 0.16nm(Y. Jeong et al., "A 43-W C-Band tunable narrow-linewidth erbium/ytterbium co-doped large-core fiber laser," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol. 16, pp.756-8, 2004); 作为一种 宽带光源, Er-Yb共掺光纤激光器甚至可以在 1565nm附近产生超过 1000W的输 出功率 (J. K. Sahu et al, "A 103W erbium/ytterbium co-doped large-core fiber laser," Opt. Commun., vol. 227, pp.159-63, 2003 )。 Another area of optoelectronics, namely high-power fiber lasers, has achieved fruitful results after more than 30 years of development. Currently, its main applications are in laser processing and marking. Now Er-Yb co-doped fiber lasers have been able to provide stable laser output in the 1550 nm wavelength region (the operating wavelength of dense wavelength division multiplexed fiber optic communication systems). The following literature reports recent recent developments in this field: Fiber lasers using a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR: Distributed Bragg Reflector) can produce a power output of 20 mW with a linewidth narrower than 2 kHz (Ch. Spiegelberg et al., Low-noise narrow-linewidth fiber laser at 1550nm (June 2003)," J. Lightwave Technol, vol. 22, pp. 57-62, 2004); using large-core 铒-镱 惨 惨 光纤 fiber laser (large-core Er -Yb Co-doped fiber laser) and tunable narrow-band fiber Bragg grating (FBG: Fiber Bragg), which produces a wavelength-adjustable laser output between 1532 nm and 1567 nm with a power of 40 W and a linewidth of 0.16 nm (Y. Jeong et al. , "A 43-W C-Band tunable narrow-linewidth erbium/ytterbium co-doped large-core fiber laser," IEEE Photon. Technol. Lett, vol. 16, pp.756-8, 2004); as a broadband Light source, Er-Yb co-doped fiber laser can even produce more than 1000W output power around 1565nm (JK Sahu et al, "A 103W erbium/ytterbium co-doped large-core fiber laser," Opt. Commun., vol. 227 , pp.159-63, 2003).
在光纤通信中, 光调制器也是一个重要的部件, 因为连续的激光须经过调制才 能加载数据。 目前使用的光调制器一般釆用 III-V族半导体或者铌酸锂 (LiNbO3)材 料,价格昂贵,适合长途高速率光通信使用,并不适合低成本接入网应用。最近 Intel 公司在光调制器件的研究上取得了突破性进展(A. Liu et al, "A high-speed silicon optical modulator based on a metal-oxide-semi- conductor capacitor," Nature, vol.427, pp.615-618, Feb.12, 2004, 以及 Intel Technology Journal, vol. 8, issue 2, pp.143-158, May 10, 2004), 研制成功 2.5GHz带宽, 工作于 1550nm附近的硅基光调制器件。 这意味着可以利用成熟的硅基集成电路工艺生产光调制器件,必然能够大幅降低成 本, 获得在光接入网领域的应用。 发明内容 In fiber-optic communications, optical modulators are also an important component because continuous lasers must be modulated to load data. Currently used optical modulators generally use III-V semiconductor or lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ) materials, which are expensive and suitable for long-distance high-rate optical communication, and are not suitable for low-cost access network applications. Recently, Intel Corporation has made breakthroughs in the research of optical modulation devices (A. Liu et al, "A high-speed silicon optical modulator based on a metal-oxide-semi-conductor capacitor," Nature, vol.427, pp .615-618, Feb.12, 2004, and Intel Technology Journal, vol. 8, issue 2, pp. 143-158, May 10, 2004), developed a 2.5 GHz bandwidth, working on silicon-based light modulation around 1550 nm Device. This means that optical modulation devices can be produced using mature silicon-based integrated circuit processes, which will inevitably reduce costs and obtain applications in the field of optical access networks.
