Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polarization dispersion amount, or a chromatic dispersion amount and a polarization component, from a transmission waveform deteriorated by polarization dispersion or a combined dispersion of polarization dispersion and chromatic dispersion in a high-speed optical transmission system.
- the present invention relates to a dispersion detection apparatus capable of detecting both of the amount of scattering and an automatic dispersion compensation system using the same.
- Polarization dispersion is caused by the optical fiber polarization component (TE mode and TM mode 2) due to the effect of deviation from a perfect circle and stress on the optical fiber because the optical fiber is slightly elliptical. Dispersion caused by different propagation delay times of two optical modes). Polarization dispersion generally increases as the transmission speed of an optical signal increases and as the transmission distance increases.
- polarization dispersion is caused by temperature changes, fiber touch (hand touching optical fibers, It fluctuates over time due to changes in the transmission path environment due to stress, such as the application of stress to the optical fiber due to wind blowing on Aiba.
- Non-Patent Document 1 discloses, for example, fluctuations in polarization dispersion with respect to temperature changes.
- Non-Patent Document 1 points out the correlation between the amount of polarization dispersion fluctuation of the single-mode fiber in the underground pipeline over 48.8 km and the environmental temperature change. According to this result, it can be seen that the fluctuation of the polarization dispersion with respect to the temperature change is relatively slow in the min order.
- Non-Patent Document 2 reports the frequency of occurrence of polarization dispersion fluctuation due to mechanical vibration.
- Non-Patent Document 2 reports that the speed of polarization dispersion fluctuation is generally KHz, that is, several msec. Therefore, in order to compensate polarization dispersion with high accuracy, not only automatically performs compensation according to the transmission line condition when the system is started up (so-called no adjustment and adjustment free), but also during dynamic operation of the system. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the influence of polarization dispersion and perform compensation operation following the polarization dispersion at high speed in the order of msec.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for optimally controlling the amount of compensation for waveform degradation based on information related to a code error of an optical signal. Specifically, in the automatic dispersion compensation system disclosed in Patent Document 2, an optical signal is amplified by an optical amplifier 101 and then sent to a tunable dispersion compensator 102 as shown in FIG. The output signal of the tunable dispersion compensator 102 is amplified by the optical amplifier 103 and then converted into an electric signal by the light receiving element 104.
- the output signal of the light receiving element 104 is amplified by the amplifier circuit 105, subjected to clock regeneration / identification processing by the clock regeneration / identification circuit 106, and is subjected to serial / parallel conversion by the serial / parallel conversion circuit 107.
- Error correction circuit 108 performs code processing on the output signal of series-parallel conversion circuit 107 to detect a code error, and feeds back information about the detected code error to control circuit 109.
- the control circuit 109 optimally controls the tunable dispersion compensator 102 based on the information fed back from the error correction circuit 108.
- an optical receiver 110 includes a photodiode (PD) 111 that converts an optical signal into an electrical signal, and a photodiode (PD) 111.
- PD photodiode
- the status monitor 117 monitors the status of the PD 111, the equalizing amplifier 114, and the identification circuit 116.
- PMD compensator 118 is controlled according to the monitoring result of PMD monitor 119 as shown in FIG.
- PMD compensation for the optical reception signal input to the dispersion compensator 120 is performed.
- the dispersion compensator 52 is controlled according to the result.
- variable chromatic dispersion compensation devices used for chromatic dispersion compensation include VIPA (Virtually-Imaged—Phased—Array) disclosed in Non-Patent Document 5, and FBG (Fiber- Bragg— There is an optical device using Grafting).
- specific techniques for polarization dispersion compensation include, for example, methods such as an optical processing type, a photoelectric processing type, and an electric processing type disclosed in Non-Patent Document 7. Among these, it is necessary to control the polarization state of the light processing type and the photoelectric processing type. Furthermore, as a control method for polarization dispersion compensation, disclosed in Non-Patent Documents 8 and 9, half the frequency component of the clock signal included in the optical signal after polarization dispersion compensation and 1/4 of There is a method for controlling the polarization state by monitoring the frequency component.
- Patent Document 1 separates chromatic dispersion compensation control and polarization dispersion compensation control from each other, and does not make both controls compatible. For this reason, there is a problem in that the size of the device is increased and the cost is increased because a process for making each control compatible is required.
- Patent Document 2 The technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 is such that, as shown in FIG. 1, the identification and control of dispersion are performed by electrical processing! It can be said that it is advantageous from the viewpoint of conversion!
- this technology when a dispersion fluctuation occurs due to a change in some condition and a sign error occurs, it is possible to control dispersion compensation excessively (to the + side) from the current level, or in a decreasing direction. Has data to determine whether to control (to one side)! /, N! /.
- Patent Document 7 a dither that expresses gradation with dots generated randomly.
- Non-Patent Document 10 Ring method or hill-climbing method such as disclosed in Non-Patent Document 10 that determines the next search course that is closest to the goal when the next candidate vertex is expanded from the current vertex. Using this algorithm, a method for finding the optimal compensation point can be adopted.
- the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 does not have the above data, it cannot be determined first whether the error rate decreases or increases when the dispersion compensation amount is increased. In other words, when the dispersion compensation amount is controlled based on the error rate, it takes a long time to reach the optimum value.
- the step of the dispersion compensation amount control interval is rough, the convergence point of the system may not be found. Therefore, the dispersion compensation amount control interval must maintain a certain degree of accuracy. In this case, the time required for convergence and the number of iterations further increase. Therefore, it is difficult to apply to systems that require high-speed compensation in the order of msec.
- the automatic dispersion compensation system shown in FIG. 2 is a general automatic dispersion compensation system that extracts a control signal from a normal waveform monitor. A specific algorithm to determine the cause of chromatic dispersion and polarization dispersion is not considered.
- the automatic dispersion compensation system shown in FIG. 3 requires a monitor, a control device, and a dispersion compensator corresponding to each of chromatic dispersion and polarization dispersion, as described in (1). .
- the dispersion compensator and its peripheral devices are mostly composed of optical components, which leads to an increase in the size and cost of the device due to an increase in the number of components. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to generalize.
