Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, and in particular to a dual-980 pump laser pair pump structure used in EDFA.
  • Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier In optical fiber communication systems, Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) is an important relay device to extend the transmission distance of optical signals. Unlike optical-electrical-optical relay amplification, EDFA is a kind of light-to-light Repeater equipment. Since the birth of the world's first EDFA in the late 1980s, EDFA has played a pivotal role in the global optical communication system and has flourished and been widely used. Among them, the pump laser is the source of the energy of the EDFA amplified signal light. The pump light is injected into the erbium-doped fiber, which excites the erbium ions from the ground state to the upper energy level, and then transitions to the metastable state without radiation. In the case of a chirped fiber, the plutonium ions dropped to the base level in a metastable state will release energy and generate amplified light in the same direction and frequency as the incident signal light, that is, the optical amplification process
  • the pump laser mainly uses two types: 980 pump and 1480 pump.
  • the 980 pump has relatively strong ability to suppress noise, while the 1480 pump has relatively high energy conversion efficiency.
  • Both 980 and 1480 pump lasers are F-P lasers, while F-P lasers are multi-longitudinal mode lasers with a broader spectrum.
  • the 20dB spectral width of a 1480 pump laser can reach 10nm or even 20nm.
  • Erbium ion emission absorption spectrum is relatively steep in the 980 band, but relatively flat in the 1480 band.
  • EDF Erbium Doped Fiber
  • Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) must be engraved on the 980 pump laser pigtail as an external cavity to further process the spectrum, so it is difficult to integrate an isolator on the 980 pump laser package; on the contrary, It is not necessary to add FBG as an external cavity for further processing on the 1480 pump laser pigtail, and only use the original spectrum as the output; correspondingly, because there is no FBG external cavity on the pigtail, an isolator can be integrated on the 1480 pump pigtail. .
  • FBG Fiber Bragg Grating
  • the forward pump has a strong ability to suppress noise
  • the backward pump has a high amplification gain.
  • the residual pump light with the same or similar wavelength enters the counter-pump, it may cause lasing in the counter-pump and cause the failure of the counter-pump laser. That is, there is a risk of mutual interference between the two opposing pumps.
  • the FBG on the 980 pump laser pigtail belongs to the external cavity and is used in the screening mode to emit only the optical power of the desired wavelength; while the stray pump light of other wavelengths is not external As a blocking effect, external stray pump light can still be injected into the cavity of the pump laser. If the wavelength of the stray pump light is close to the wavelength of the outgoing light of the interfered pump laser, then there is a certain probability of lasing, so The original resonance mode of the pump laser cavity is destroyed, and the disturbed pump laser is invalidated.
  • 980 + 980 can better meet the requirements; for example, in some symmetrical array optical path EDFA, 980 + 1480 cannot be symmetrical, while 1480 + 1480 is limited to its absorption Slow, unable to achieve array symmetry, only 980 + 980 can do the job.

Description

一种用于EDFA中的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构 【技术领域】
本发明涉及光通信技术领域，具体涉及一种用于EDFA中的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构。
【背景技术】
在光纤通信系统中，掺铒光纤放大器(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier，简写为EDFA)是延长光信号传输距离的重要中继设备，与光-电-光中继放大不同，EDFA是一种光到光直放设备。自上世纪80年代末世界首台EDFA诞生以来，在全球光通讯系统中，EDFA扮演着举足轻重的作用，并获得了蓬勃发展和广泛应用。其中，泵浦激光器是EDFA放大信号光的能量之源，泵浦光注入掺铒光纤，激发铒离子从基态跃迁到上能级，并随后无辐射跃迁到亚稳态，当有信号光注入掺铒光纤时，在亚稳态跌落到基级的铒离子就会释放能量，并产生和入射信号光同向同频同相的放大光，即完成光放大过程。
目前，泵浦激光器主要采用980泵浦和1480泵浦两种，980泵浦抑制噪声能力相对较强，而1480泵浦能量转化效率相对较高。980和1480泵浦激光器均为F-P激光器，而F-P激光器为多纵模激光器，光谱较宽，如1480泵浦激光器的20dB谱宽可以达到10nm甚至20nm。铒离子发射吸收谱在980波段比较陡峭，而在1480波段比较平坦，相应的，掺铒光纤(Erbium Doped Fiber，简写为EDF)对980泵浦激光器光谱要求较高。所以，980泵浦激光器尾纤上须刻写光纤布拉格光栅(Fiber Bragg Grating，简写为FBG)作外腔以对光谱作进一步处理，因而980泵浦激光器封装上很难再集成隔离器；相反地，1480泵浦激光器尾纤上则无须加入FBG作外腔作进一步处理，而仅以原始光谱作输出即可；相应的，由于尾纤上无FBG外腔，1480泵浦尾管上可集成隔离器。
从光路结构上说，前向泵浦抑制噪声能力强，后向泵浦放大增益高。在工 程设计和应用中，往往需要将前向泵浦和后向泵浦结合起来使用，从而可结合前向泵浦和后向泵浦的优点，在提升输出光功率的同时抑制噪声。但是，在对向泵浦结构中，如果波长相同或者相近的残余泵浦光射入对向泵浦中，那么可能在对向泵浦中引起激射，并导致对向泵浦激光器的失效，即两对向泵浦存在相互干扰的风险。在上述介绍的980泵浦激光器中，980泵浦激光器尾纤上的FBG属于外腔，用于筛选模式，仅出射期望波长的光功率；而对外来的其它波长的杂散泵浦光并无阻隔作用，外来的杂散泵浦光依然可以射入泵浦激光器腔内，如果杂散泵浦光波长与该被干扰泵浦激光器的出射光波长接近，那么就有一定概率产生激射，从而破坏该泵浦激光腔原谐振模式，进而使得被干扰的泵浦激光器失效。
鉴于1480泵浦激光器输出位置一般集成有隔离器，所以两1480泵浦可作对向泵浦；鉴于980泵浦和1480泵浦中心波长相距甚远，对向泵浦亦可实施；而由于980泵浦激光器无法集成隔离器，所以双980对泵结构不能直接使用，因此，目前工程设计上只存在980+1480和1480+1480两种对泵结构。而在有些工程应用场合下，单向980、单向1480、对向1480+1480或者对向980+1480对泵结构均不能满足要求，只有980+980对向泵浦结构方能胜任。比如，在需要对泵架构具有更好的噪声性能时，采用980+980更能满足要求；再比如，某些对称型阵列光路EDFA中，980+1480无法对称，而1480+1480则限于其吸收慢，无法做到阵列对称，只有980+980可以胜任。在这种状况下，就需要适当改造光路，保证两对向980泵浦之间不会相互干扰，如此才能更好地应用。
鉴于此，克服上述现有技术所存在的缺陷是本技术领域亟待解决的问题。
【发明内容】
本发明需要解决的技术问题是：
由于目前市场上无集成光隔离器的980泵浦激光器，在980+980对向泵浦结构中，如果波长相同或者相近的残余泵浦光射入对向泵浦中，可能在对向泵浦中引起激射，并导致对向的泵浦激光器失效，因此两980对向泵浦存在相互 干扰的风险。

【附图说明】
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案，下面将对本发明实施例中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍。显而易见地，下面所描述的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例，对于本领域普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下， 还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

图5为本发明实施例提供的另一种用于EDFA中的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构(泵浦路上增设光滤波器)。
【具体实施方式】
在不考虑两980对向泵浦之间相互干扰的情况下，原始的双980泵浦结构如图1所示，对泵结构包括掺铒光纤1、第一980泵浦激光器2-1、第二980泵浦激光器2-2、第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1和第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2。所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1用于输出第一泵浦光，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的输出端与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1的泵浦端相连，所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1的信号输出端与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输入端相连，使得所述第一泵浦光正向注入所述掺铒光纤1，则所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1、所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1与所述掺铒光纤1构成所述第一泵浦光的正向传输光路；所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2用于输出第二泵浦光，所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2的输出端与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2的泵浦端相连，所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2的信号输入端与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输出端相连，使得所述第二泵浦光反向注入所述掺铒光纤1，则所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2、所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2与所述掺铒光纤1构成所述第二泵浦光的反向传输光路。
参考图1，信号光由输入口进入后，依次途径所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1、所述掺铒光纤1和所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2，最终抵达输出口；此处将信号光的传输方向作为正向，信号光的传输路径为主光路。所述第一泵浦光与所述 信号光以同一方向注入所述掺铒光纤1，所述第二泵浦光则从相反方向注入所述掺铒光纤1，正向光路具体为：所述第一泵浦光由所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1输出后，在所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1与信号光进行耦合，最终正向注入所述掺铒光纤1；反向光路具体为：所述第二泵浦光由所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2输出后，在所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2与信号光进行耦合，最终反向注入所述掺铒光纤1。其中，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1构成第一泵浦光路，所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2构成第二泵浦光路。
在如图1所示的理论对泵结构中，两980对向泵浦存在相互干扰的风险，需对光路进行适当地改进，消除两980对向泵浦之间的相互干扰。如果在980泵浦激光器上集成光隔离器，即980泵浦激光器与对应的信号/泵浦合波器连接之前，先与光隔离器相连接，则理论上利用光隔离器的单向通光性，可消除两个980泵浦激光器之间的相互干扰。参考图2，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间设置有第一光隔离器6-1，用于单向通过第一泵浦光；所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2之间设置有第二光隔离器6-2，用于单向通过第二泵浦光。因此，当所述第二泵浦光反向抵达所述第一光隔离器6-1时，无法透过所述第一光隔离器6-1抵达所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1。同理地，所述第一泵浦光也无法通过所述第二光隔离器6-2抵达所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2。然而，光隔离器体积较大，损耗较大，成本也较高，而且不容易集成在980泵浦激光器上。
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白，以下结合附图及实施例，对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解，此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明，并不用于限定本发明。
此外，下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。下面就参考附图和实施例结合来详细说明本发明。

具体参考图3，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置在第一泵浦光路上，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置在所述第二泵浦光路上，具体为：所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置于所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置于所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2之间。其中，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1之间、所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间、所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2与第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2之间以及所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2之间均可采用熔接的方式连接；或者，还可将所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1焊接在所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的尾纤上，将所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2焊接在所述 第二980泵浦激光器2-2的尾纤上。
为消除所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2间的相互干扰，在本发明实施例中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2均为高反射率光纤布拉格光栅，两光纤布拉格光栅的高反窗口30dB带宽在4-7nm，反射率在99％以上。所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1的高反中心波长和带宽与所述第二泵浦光的中心波长和带宽相匹配，以便高反第二泵浦光；所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2的高反中心波长和带宽与所述第一泵浦光的中心波长和带宽相匹配，以便高反第一泵浦光。因此，当所述第一泵浦光正向传输时可低损耗地通过所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1后继续传输，而当所述第二泵浦光经所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2、所述掺铒光纤1和所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1后，残余的第二泵浦光反向抵达所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1时可最大程度被反射，使得第二泵浦光难以透过所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1抵达所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1，从而消除了所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2对所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的干扰。同理地，当所述第二泵浦光反向传输时可低损耗地通过所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2后继续传输，而当所述第一泵浦光正向传输至所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2时可最大程度被反射，使得第一泵浦光难以透过所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2抵达所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2，从而消除了所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1对所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2的干扰。
在本发明实施例中，所述第一泵浦光与所述第二泵浦光的中心波长均可在973-981.5nm范围内选择。需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，为避免所述第一泵浦光透过所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2或所述第二泵浦光透过所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1，所述第一泵浦光与所述第二泵浦光的中心波长不同，且中心波长差在4-7nm范围内。如果中心波长差过小，则两泵浦光难以分开；而当中心波长差大于4nm时，可无障碍进行两泵浦光的区分。在本实施例的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构中，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2错位选择波长，比如分别选取为973和977nm。其中，FBG的高反窗口带宽实际上也可视两对向泵浦激光器中心波长差而定，假设两泵浦中心波长差为 4nm，那么高反窗口的带宽可设定为4nm；如果两泵浦中心波长差为7nm，那么高反窗口带宽则可设定为4～7nm。
参考图4，在本发明实施例中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2还可分别设置在信号光的主光路上，具体为：所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置于所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输入端之间，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置于所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输出端之间。在这种布置方式中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1可通过所述信号光与所述第一泵浦光，且高反射所述第二泵浦光；所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2可通过所述信号光与所述第二泵浦光，且高反射所述第一泵浦光。如此一来，两个光纤布拉格光栅的位置虽然从泵浦光路上转移到信号光的主光路上，依然可消除两个980泵浦激光器之间的相互干扰，其具体原理与上述介绍类似，此处不再赘述。其中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间、所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述掺铒光纤1之间、所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2之间以及所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2与所述掺铒光纤1之间均可采用熔接方式连接。
在本发明实施例的基础上，还可将所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置在所述第一泵浦光路上，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置在信号光的主光路上，具体为：所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置于所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间，将所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置于所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输出端之间。或者，还可将所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置在信号光的主光路上，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置在所述第二泵浦光路上，具体为：所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置于所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输入端之间，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置于所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2与所述掺铒光纤1的信号输出端之间；具体连接方式及工作原理此处不再赘述。
相比较而言，当所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1设置在第一泵浦光路上，所述 第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2设置在所述第二泵浦光路上时，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2不会对信号光造成额外插损，因此这种布置方式更优。
在本发明实施例中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1与所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2还可直接写于器件的尾纤上，具体为：所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1可直接写于所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的尾纤上，或所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1的尾纤上，或所述掺铒光纤1的信号输入端上；所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2可直接写于所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2的尾纤上，或所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2的尾纤上，或所述掺铒光纤1的信号输出端上。通过这种设置方式，在整个光路传输中，所述第一光纤布拉格光栅4-1仍可高反射所述第二泵浦光，所述第二光纤布拉格光栅4-2仍可高反射所述第一泵浦光，依然可消除两个980泵浦激光器之间的相互干扰。
结合图3和图4，在本发明实施例中，所述掺铒光纤1为单独一整段，或至少两段级联而成。由于单段掺铒光纤制作成的放大器在其输出功率接近其饱和输出功率时，噪声指数劣化比较严重；因此，为实现较大的增益和较低的噪声指数，可将掺铒光纤分为前后两段，且前段掺铒光纤长度小于后段掺铒光纤，两段掺铒光纤之间通过隔离器分隔开，从而可有效隔离后段掺铒光纤中反向传播的噪声，使之不能进入前段掺铒光纤。如此一来，反向噪声不会在前段掺铒光纤中得到放大，可减小第一级的噪声系数，而在多级系统中，总的噪声系数主要受第一级噪声系数的影响，这样便可优化整个放大器的噪声性能。同理地，掺铒光纤还可分为三段甚至更多段，此处不再赘述。
实施例2：
在上述实施例1的基础上，本发明实施例还提供了另一种用于EDFA中的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构，如图5所示，与实施例1的不同之处在于：所述抗干扰结构由实施例1中的两个光纤布拉格光栅变为两个光滤波器结构，即980泵浦激光器与对应的信号/泵浦合波器连接之前，先经由一个光滤波器，利用光 滤波器对特定波长的选择功能，来消除两个980泵浦激光器之间的相互干扰。
参考图5，本实施例提供的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构包括掺铒光纤1、第一980泵浦激光器2-1、第二980泵浦激光器2-2、第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1、第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2和抗干扰结构，所述抗干扰结构包括第一光滤波器5-1和第二光滤波器5-2。所述第一光滤波器5-1设置在第一泵浦光路上，所述第二光滤波器5-2设置在所述第二泵浦光路上，具体为：所述第一光滤波器5-1设置于所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的输出端与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1的泵浦端之间，所述第二光滤波器5-2设置于所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2的输出端与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2的泵浦端之间。具体各器件的连接可参考实施例1，此处不再赘述。其中，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第一光滤波器5-1之间、所述第一光滤波器5-1与所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1之间、所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2与第二光滤波器5-2之间以及所述第二光滤波器5-2与所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2之间均可采用熔接的方式连接。
在本发明实施例中，所述第一光滤波器5-1和所述第二光滤波器5-2均采用窄带带通滤波器，可允许特定波长的光信号通过而屏蔽其他波长的光信号，窄带窗口30dB带宽在3-7nm，滤波器透射插损在0.6dB以内。其中，所述第一光滤波器5-1仅可允许所述第一泵浦光波长的光通过而屏蔽其他波长的光，所述第二光滤波器5-2仅可允许所述第二泵浦光波长的光通过而屏蔽其他波长的光。因此，当所述第二泵浦光经所述第二信号/泵浦合波器3-2、所述掺铒光纤1和所述第一信号/泵浦合波器3-1后，残余的第二泵浦光反向抵达所述第一光滤波器5-1时，由于所述第一光滤波器5-1对第二泵浦光具有屏蔽作用，使得第二泵浦光无法通过所述第一光滤波器5-1抵达所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1，从而消除了所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2对所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1的干扰。同理地，当所述第一泵浦光传输至所述第二光滤波器5-2时，由于所述第二光滤波器5-2仅可允许第二泵浦光通过，而对第一泵浦光具有屏蔽作用，使得第一泵浦光无法通过所述第二光滤波器5-2抵达所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2，从而消除了所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1对所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2的干扰。
在本发明实施例中，所述第一泵浦光与所述第二泵浦光的中心波长均可在973-981.5nm范围内选择。需要说明的是，在本发明实施例中，为避免所述第一泵浦光通过所述第二光滤波器5-2或所述第二泵浦光通过所述第一光滤波器5-1，所述第一泵浦光与所述第二泵浦光的中心波长不同，且中心波长差在4-7nm范围内。如果中心波长差过小，则两泵浦光难以分开；而当中心波长差大于4nm时，可无障碍进行两泵浦光的区分。在本实施例的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构中，所述第一980泵浦激光器2-1与所述第二980泵浦激光器2-2错位选择波长，比如分别选取为973和977nm。
本发明提供的一种用于EDFA中的双980泵浦激光器对泵结构，对980+980对泵结构光路进行适当改进，在两个泵浦光的传输光路上分别增设一个光滤波器，每个光滤波器只允许对应的泵浦光通过，而不允许另一方向的残余泵浦光通过，从而使得任一方向的残余泵浦光均无法射入对向泵浦中，避免了两980对向泵浦之间的相互干扰，进而避免了对向的泵浦激光器的失效。而且，相比于集成光隔离器来说，采用光滤波器的损耗小，体积小，且成本较低。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已，并不用以限制本发明，凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
