Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technique related to optical communication, and more particularly to an optical transmission apparatus that transmits an optical signal in a wavelength division multiplexing system.
- Optical communication lines play an important role, and related technologies are actively developed.
- a technology for multiplexing and transmitting each encoded signal may be used.
- a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system is used in which a wavelength is assigned to each encoded signal, and an optical signal of each wavelength is multiplexed and transmitted.
- optical signals are transmitted via various devices such as repeaters and amplifiers on the transmission path.
- the transmission path not only the intensity of the optical signal is attenuated, but also the signal waveform is deteriorated due to the different wavelength dependency for each material, connection portion and the like.
- the wavelength division multiplexing system in order to multiplex more optical signals within a certain band, it is necessary to narrow the interval between set wavelengths. However, when the wavelength interval between the signals is narrowed, the influence such as deterioration of the optical signal is more likely to occur.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for correcting an optical signal by a transmission device used as a repeater.
- the transmission device of Patent Document 1 includes an amplifier provided in an input unit, an optical add / drop multiplexer (OADM), an optical attenuating unit, and an amplifier provided in an output unit.
- the transmission device of Patent Document 1 includes means for measuring the intensity of an optical signal on the output side of an amplifier provided in an output unit.
- the transmission device of Patent Document 1 further includes means for controlling the attenuation amount in the optical attenuation means and the intensity of the optical signal output to the transmission line by the optical add / drop device based on the measurement result of the optical signal strength. ing.
- the intensity of the optical signal input from the input unit is adjusted by the optical attenuation means, and the intensity of the optical signal is adjusted before being input to the optical add / drop multiplexer.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 states that by performing these adjustments so that each signal is output from the transmission device at a predetermined intensity, it is possible to perform transmission of an optical signal with a constant output.
- the transmission device of Patent Document 2 includes a demultiplexer, a means for adjusting each demultiplexed optical signal, and a multiplexer for multiplexing the adjusted optical signals.
- the intensity for each wavelength of the optical signal before being input to the demultiplexer is measured, and after demultiplexing, each optical signal is adjusted based on the measurement result and multiplexed again.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-228688 describes that an optical signal having a different modulation scheme, bit rate, and the like can be multiplexed and transmitted by determining and adjusting an appropriate adjustment amount according to each optical signal.
- Patent Document 1 has the following problems.
- the optical signal attenuated by the optical attenuating means and the optical signal from the optical add / drop device are input to the amplifier on the output side. Since the optical signal attenuated by the optical attenuating means is input to the amplifier without any correction being made to the waveform, noise on the path is amplified and accumulated. Therefore, when the signal reaches the receiving device that is the destination of the optical signal, the OSNR is greatly deteriorated due to noise accumulation or the like, and the receiving device may not be able to receive the optical signal correctly.
- the optical transmission device of Patent Document 2 analyzes the waveform of the optical signal before amplification and demultiplexing of the optical signal, and corrects the demultiplexed optical signal of each wavelength. Therefore, noise generated by the amplifier or distortion of the waveform emphasized by amplification may be output as it is without being recognized. As a result, waveform distortion accumulates as the optical signal is transmitted through the transmission path, and the signal may not be received correctly on the receiving side.
- the present invention suppresses the influence of waveform distortion or the like that occurs when an optical signal passes through a device or the like on a transmission path, and can transmit an optical signal with little waveform degradation and little OSNR degradation.
- the purpose is to obtain.
- the optical transmission apparatus of the present invention includes multiplexing means, amplifying means, and optical signal correcting means.
- the multiplexing means multiplexes the input optical signal through a path corresponding to each channel of the optical signal, and outputs it as a combined signal.
- the amplification means amplifies the combined signal and outputs it as an amplified signal.
- the optical signal correcting means corrects the amplified signal for each channel and outputs it as a correction signal.
- the input optical signal is combined through a path corresponding to each channel of the optical signal and output as a combined signal, and the combined signal is amplified and output as an amplified signal.
- the amplified signal is corrected for each channel and output as a correction signal.
- the present invention by sequentially inputting signals to the multiplexing unit, the amplifying unit, and the optical signal correcting unit, it is possible to suppress the influence of signal degradation such as waveform distortion of the optical signal and OSNR degradation. As a result, it becomes possible to transmit an optical signal with small distortion of the waveform of the optical signal, deterioration of OSNR, etc., and communication quality is improved.
