Description

Dense optical fiber coding method based on optical frequency comb and optical fiber grating
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of network digitization, and particularly relates to an intensive optical fiber coding method based on an optical frequency comb and an optical fiber grating.
Background
Optical fiber coding is the basic and core technology for realizing all-optical network digitization. The optical fiber link safety is the basis for ensuring the optical access network safety, and researches show that about one third of the optical network faults are caused by the optical fiber cable faults, so that each optical fiber link in the optical access network is digitally encoded, and the network state is monitored by utilizing the encoding, so that the more accurate, reliable, intelligent and efficient all-optical network digital management is the premise that the optical access network can operate efficiently and stably. The efficiency of optical fiber coding directly influences the effect of the digital realization of the all-optical network.
Most of the currently used optical fiber coding techniques only use fiber gratings to perform one-dimensional or two-dimensional wavelength coding on monitoring light pulses. The one-dimensional code wavelength code can only distribute a single wavelength as a unique label for one link, has the advantages of simple structure and convenient realization, the encoder only comprises one fiber grating arranged at the user end, and the defect is obvious that the used spectrum resource linearly grows along with the number of the code links, and can only meet the code requirement of a small-scale optical network. The two-dimensional wavelength coding uses an optical encoder consisting of a fiber grating and a one-to-two optical splitter, the encoder is arranged at a local side in an access network, the complexity of a user side is reduced by adopting centralized coding, the coding efficiency is greatly improved compared with one-dimensional coding, but the coding efficiency is limited by spectrum resources in practical use and still only can realize the coding of hundreds of links.
The method for increasing the number of codes is mainly multiplexing in time domain, dividing a plurality of users into a group, adopting a polling mode, only coding the optical fiber links of a certain group of users in a period of time, and effectively coding each optical fiber link by setting a proper polling period. The effective coding quantity increase can be realized by simply using an optical switching and control circuit in combination with the time division multiplexing wavelength coding method, but when the monitoring link is longer, the polling window allocated to each group of users also needs to be correspondingly increased, and in addition, the increase of the quantity of users also needs to poll more groups to meet the demands, so that the polling period is inevitably prolonged, the time for the users to be not identified and managed is increased, and the response efficiency of fault monitoring is reduced.
The targeted coding technology cannot be suitable for realizing real-time coding of a large-scale and high-reliability all-optical network.

Step 1, a C-band pulse signal is emitted by a light source module, wherein the signal comprises more than m optical pulses with different central wavelengths and overlapped in a time domain;
step 2, uniformly dividing pulse light to n different adjustable frequency comb sources by utilizing an optical divider, wherein each adjustable frequency comb source generates comb teeth on an optical pulse wavelength domain at fixed intervals, and the optical comb intervals generated by different optical frequency comb sources are different;

And 4, taking different optical comb intervals as a first code, and taking different combinations of wavelength components as a second code for each code word, wherein the final results of the two codes form a set of all codes.
The light source is controlled by external signals, and m laser arrays generate m laser arrays with the same width, power and period in the time domain; the optical pulses with different central wavelengths and the same 3dB bandwidth in the wavelength domain, the interval between the central wavelengths of adjacent optical pulses is larger than the bandwidth of the adjacent optical pulses so as to ensure that the pulses are not aliased in the wavelength domain, and the pulses leave the laser at the same time and are combined into one pulse in the time domain through a coupler built in the light source module.
When the optical frequency comb source works in the wavelength range used by the light source, the generated frequency combs are equal in interval and smaller than the interval of the central wavelengths of adjacent optical pulses, and the interval of the central wavelengths of the pulses can divide the interval of the frequency combs.
N different codes are generated by a tunable optical frequency comb source of n different comb teeth.
The encoder is formed by connecting 2 (m-1) -1 optical splitters in a one-to-two mode step by step, two output ports of the upper optical splitter are respectively connected with input ports of the lower optical splitter, and only one port is selected from two output ports of one optical splitter to place an optical fiber grating.
Each fiber grating totally reflects one of the wavelengths generated by the light source and transmits the other wavelengths, and the fiber gratings used in each stage have the same parameter index; each port of the encoder holds pulses of at least one wavelength.
A total of 2 (m-1) wavelength codes can be achieved using m wavelengths of light.
The use of an optical frequency comb containing m wavelength optical pulses and n spacing results in a total of n x 2 (m-1) codes, each code uniquely corresponding to one fiber optic link.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
The invention takes the multi-wavelength search light pulse synchronously output by the multi-wavelength pulse light source as the carrier of coding information, and codes the pulse wavelength twice by the adjustable light frequency comb source and the fiber bragg grating, thus realizing coding for a large number of users under the condition of using limited wavelength resources. The light source module emits a C-band pulse signal, the signal comprises a plurality of optical pulses with different central wavelengths and overlapped in time domain, the optical pulses are evenly distributed to a plurality of adjustable frequency comb sources through a splitter, the optical frequency comb sources generate frequency combs on the optical pulses at different intervals, the light leaving each optical frequency comb source then enters a fiber grating encoder, a cascade grating positioned in the optical frequency comb sources selectively reflects pulse wavelengths, unique pulse wavelength combinations are formed at output ports, the subsequent encoders of all the optical frequency comb sources have the same structure, the output ports of the encoders are connected to all optical fiber links in a descending way, and for a certain link, the combination type of the wavelength of the optical pulses in the wavelength domain and the number of teeth contained in each wavelength jointly form unique coded information of the optical pulse.
The invention utilizes fewer wavelength resources to complete encoding of more links, saves spectrum resources, and can greatly improve the scale of the network which can be monitored by the all-optical network digitizing technology when the optical fiber channels are tense and the number of users is gradually increased.
The invention combines the fiber grating coding technology and the optical frequency comb coding method to improve the number of fiber links capable of being coded simultaneously, and solves the problems that the real-time coding scale of the prior art is still limited and the use requirement of a large-scale network cannot be met.
