Definitions
- the present application relates to the field of optical communication technologies, and in particular, to a transmitting device, a receiving device, an optical transmission system, and an optical power control method.

- the communication light wave corresponding to the C-band is correspondingly amplified by the C_EDFA11, and/or the communication light wave corresponding to the C-band is correspondingly attenuated by the first VOA 13; the communication light wave corresponding to the L-band passes the light through the L_EDFA12 The power is correspondingly amplified, and/or the communication light wave corresponding to the L-band is correspondingly attenuated by the second VOA 14. Then, the changed communication wavelengths of different wavelengths are combined (multiplexed) through the first FIU 15 at the transmitting end, and coupled to the same optical fiber on the optical cable line for transmission, and the combined communication optical waves are separated by the second FIU 16 at the receiving end.

Under low-intensity ordinary light illumination, the Raman scattering of the medium is small, and the scattered light is very weak.
- the Raman scattering process of the medium has the property of stimulated emission, so it is called the SRS effect.
- the basic process of stimulated Raman scattering is that the incident light enters the medium, and the photons are absorbed by the medium, so that the medium molecules are excited from the base level E1 to the high level.
- w p is the incident light angular frequency.
- the high energy level is an unstable state, which quickly transitions to a lower metastable energy level E2 and emits a scattered photon with an angular frequency of w s ⁇ w p , then returns to the ground state and produces an energy Optical phonon, the angular frequency of the optical phonon is determined by the resonant frequency of the molecule. It can be seen that the stimulated Raman scattering occurs only when the incident light intensity exceeds a certain threshold, and the scattered light has the characteristics of high directivity, high intensity and high coherence.

Description
本申请涉及光通信技术领域,特别涉及发送设备、接收设备、光传输系统、光功率控制方法。
随着光传输通信容量需求的激增,波分复用技术成为光传输系统中的主要传输技术。波分复用技术是在一根光纤中同时传输多个不同波长的通信光波的技术,即同一根光纤可以有多个传输信道,每个传输信道用于传输一种预定波长的通信光波。
通常,一根光纤传输的各个通信光波均在C波段(波长范围为1530~1565nm)范围内,为了增加传输信道的带宽,也可以使得该根光纤中同时传输在L波段(波长范围为1570~1605nm)范围内的多个通信光波。如图1所示,该根光纤中同时传输在C波段和L波段范围内的多个通信光波,由于光传输系统中通常包括若干个跨段的基本结构,图1其示出了一个典型跨段的基本结构。该基本结构包括:C波段掺铒光纤放大器11(Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier of C band,C_EDFA)、L波段掺铒光纤放大器12(Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier of L band,L_EDFA)、第一可调光衰减器13(Variable Optical Attenuator,VOA)、第二VOA14、第一光纤接口单元15(Fiber Interface Unit,FIU)和第二FIU16。其中,C波段对应的通信光波通过C_EDFA11将光功率进行相应的放大,和/或,C波段对应的通信光波通过第一VOA13将光功率进行相应的衰减;L波段对应的通信光波通过L_EDFA12将光功率进行相应的放大,和/或,L波段对应的通信光波通过第二VOA14将光功率进行相应的衰减。然后在发送端将变化后的不同波长的通信光波通过第一FIU15组合起来(复用),并耦合到光缆线路上的同一根光纤中传输,在接收端通过第二FIU16将组合的通信光波分开(解复用),分离出各个波长的通信光波后送入不同的下一站点。
伴随着一根光纤中同时传输的通信光波的波长范围增大,光纤内的非线性效应成为影响多波长的光传输系统性能的重要因素。其中,非线性效应包括受激拉曼散射(Stimulated Raman Scattering,SRS)效应。其中,拉曼散射可以看成是介质中的分子对光子的调制,即分子间的相对运动导致分子电偶极矩随时间的周期性调制,从而对光子产生散射作用。在低强度的普通光照射下,介质的拉曼散射较小,散射光非常弱,但当激光作为入射源时,介质的拉曼散射过程具有了受激发射的性质,故称为SRS效应。受激拉曼散射的基本过程是入射光进入介质,光子被介质吸收,使得介质分子由基能级E1激发到高能级其中,wp是入射光角频率。高能级是一个不稳定状态,它很快跃迁到一个较低的亚稳态能级E2并发射一个散射光子,其角频率为ws<wp,然后回到基态,并产生一个能量为的光学声子,该光学声子的角频率由分子的谐振频率决定。可见,受激拉曼散射只有在入射光强度超过一定阈值时才会出现,这种散射光具有高方向性、高强度和高相干性的特点。以多波长光传输系统同时支持C波段和L波段为例,若C波段和L波段的频率差在拉曼增益谱内,则SRS将会把C波段的能量转移到L波段上,产生C波段的通信光波的
光功率变小,L波段的通信光波的光功率增大的非线性影响。
因此,基于图1可知,当C波段对应的通信光波与L波段对应的通信光波一起传输时,产生的SRS效应会导致这两种不同波段的通信光波的光功率发生变化,比如C波段对应的通信光波的光功率减小,L波段对应的通信光波的光功率增大。而目前的光传输系统无法减少或消除该SRS效应对光功率的影响。

比如,工作波段为C波段和L波段,由于C波段的波长范围为1530~1565nm,L波段的波长范围为1570~1605nm,因此存在至少一个第一检测光波的波长小于1530nm,存在至少一个第二检测光波的波长大于1605nm。
可选的,第一检测光波的数量等于或者不等于第二检测光波的数量。
比如,当检测光波25的数量为2时,存在1个第一检测光波和1个第二检测光波;当检测光波25的数量为3时,存在1个第一检测光波和2个第二检测光波,或者存在2个第一检测光波和1个第二检测光波;当检测光波25的数量为4时,存在2个第一检测光波和2个第二检测光波。
控制单元60根据至少两个检测光波25之间的功率变化信息生成功率控制指令,向光功率调整单元22发送功率控制指令。对应的,光功率调整单元22获取该功率控制指令。

光功率调整单元22根据功率控制指令对至少两个通信光波24中的至少一个通信光波24进行光功率放大和/或衰减。
可选的,功率变化信息用于表示至少两个检测光波25在传输后的至少两个光功率的整体变化程度。其中,第一检测光波的功率变化信息可以代表属于短波段的通信光波24的功率变化情况,第二检测光波的功率变化信息可以代表属于长波段的通信光波24的功率变化情况。
可选的,该功率控制指令携带有调节系数,该调节系数包括与至少一个通信光波24对应的放大系数和/或衰减系数。
综上所述,本实施例通过合波单元向光纤通道发送至少两个通信光波,同时通过光纤通道传输至少两个带外的检测光波,使得光传输系统能够根据至少两个检测光波之间的功率变化信息生成功率控制指令,进而根据获取的功率控制指令对至少两个通信光波中的至少一个通信光波进行光功率放大和/或衰减。由于引起通信光波在传输后光功率变化的原因通常可分为两种,第一种可能的原因为当至少两个通信光波正常传输(在传输中不存在掉
波或加波的情况)时SRS效应会影响光功率,第二种可能的原因为当至少两个通信光波中至少一个通信光波在传输中存在掉波或加波的情况时SRS效应会发生变化,变化的SRS效应会引起光功率的波动。针对这两种可能的原因引起的光功率变化,光传输系统均能够通过对至少两个检测光波之间的功率变化程度分析得到功率变化信息,该功率变化信息不仅可以表示至少两个检测光波在传输后的至少两个光功率的整体变化程度,也可以间接反映出至少两个通信光波在传输后的至少两个光功率的整体变化程度,光功率调整单元根据功率控制指令动态调整通信光波的光功率,从而减少或消除变化的SRS效应对光功率波动的影响,增大光系统的传输距离,提高整个光传输系统的稳定性。
需要说明的是,检测光波的传输方向存在两种可能的实现方式:
第一种可能的实现方式:当检测光波的传输方向与通信光波的传输方向是相同的时,合波单元21将来自通信波发射端26的至少两个通信光波进行复用,并传输至分波单元23;对应的,分波单元23将接收到的至少两个通信光波进行解复用后输出至通信波接收端27,通信波接收端27接收至少两个通信光波。合波单元21还将来自检测波发射端的至少两个检测光波进行复用,并传输至分波单元23;对应的,分波单元23还将接收到的至少两个检测光波进行解复用后输出至检测波接收端,检测波接收端接收至少两个检测光波。
第二种可能的实现方式:检测光波的传输方向与通信光波的传输方向是相反的。合波单元21将来自通信波发射端26的至少两个通信光波进行复用,并传输至分波单元23;对应的,分波单元23将接收到的至少两个通信光波进行解复用后输出至通信波接收端27,通信波接收端27接收至少两个通信光波。分波单元23还将来自检测波发射端的至少两个检测光波进行复用,并传输至合波单元21;对应的,合波单元21将接收到的至少两个检测光波进行解复用后输出至检测波接收端,检测波接收端接收至少两个检测光波。
下面采用图3至图6所示出的实施例,对第一种可能的实现方式进行说明;并采用图7所示出的实施例,对第二种可能的实现方式进行说明。
请参考图3,其示出了本申请另一个示意性实施例提供的光传输系统的示意图。基于图2提供的光传输系统20,该发送设备40还包括:与合波单元21相连的至少两个检测波发射端31;接收设备50还包括:与分波单元23相连的至少两个检测波接收端32,以及与检测波接收端相连的控制单元33,该控制单元33还与光功率调整单元22相连。
当检测波发射端31向合波单元21发送至少两个检测光波时,合波单元21将至少两个检测光波进行复用后传输至分波单元23。对应的,分波单元23将接收到的至少两个检测光波进行解复用后,输出至检测波接收端32,检测波接收端32接收到至少两个检测光波。此时,检测光波的传输方向与通信光波的传输方向相同。
可选的,合波单元21包括n个第一接口和1个第二接口,分波单元23包括n个第一接口和1个第二接口,n为正整数。
比如,检测波发射端31包括发射端R1和发射端R2,对应的,检测波接收端32包括接收端T1和接收端T2,发射端R1与合波单元21中的第一接口1相连,发射端R2与合波单元21中的第一接口2相连,分波单元23中的第一接口1与接收端T1相连,分波单元23中的第一接口2与接收端T1相连。发射端R1通过合波单元21中的第一接口1向合波单元
21输入检测光波X1,发射端R2通过合波单元21中的第一接口2向合波单元21输入检测光波X2,合波单元21将检测光波X1和检测光波X2组合起来(复用),并通过1个第二接口向分波单元23发送,分波单元23通过1个第二接口接收到这2个检测光波并进行解复用,接收端T1通过分波单元23的第一接口1接收到检测光波Y1(即检测光波X1在传输后形成的光波),接收端T2通过分波单元23的第一接口2接收到检测光波Y2(即检测光波X1在传输后形成的光波)。
可选的,合波单元21向分波单元23持续发送至少两个检测光波,或者每隔预定时间段向分波单元23发送至少两个检测光波。
在检测波接收端32从分波单元23接收到至少两个检测光波后,控制单元33根据至少两个检测光波之间的功率变化信息生成功率控制指令,向光功率调整单元22发送功率控制指令。
可选的,控制单元33每隔预定时间段生成一个功率控制指令;或者,控制单元33判断至少两个检测光波之间的功率变化信息的绝对值是否大于预设阈值,若大于则生成功率控制指令。
可选的,当至少两个通信光波在传输中可能存在掉波或加波时,SRS效应会发生变化,导致光功率的波动,因此控制单元33每次接收到至少两个检测光波时确定该次对应的功率变化信息,计算连续两次的功率变化信息的差值,并判断该差值绝对值是否大于预设波动值,若大于则生成功率控制指令。
至少两个检测光波包括m个检测光波,m为大于1的正整数。
比如,合波单元21发送的160个通信光波包括属于C波段的80个不同波长的通信光波和属于L波段的80个不同波长的通信光波,当C波段中的80个通信光波正常传输(即C波段的任意一个通信光波在传输中不存在掉波或加波的情况),且L波段中的80个通信光波正常传输(即L波段的任意一个通信光波在传输中不存在掉波或加波的情况)时,控制单元33确定出此时的功率变化信息为“-0.4dB”。
又比如,当C波段中的80个通信光波正常传输,且L波段中的80个通信光波在传输中掉波掉了10个通信光波(即L波段在传输后中剩余70个通信光波)时,控制单元33确定出此时的功率变化信息为“0.9dB”;又比如,当C波段中的80个通信光波在传输中掉波掉了10个通信光波(即C波段在传输后中剩余70个通信光波),且L波段中的80个通信光波正常传输时,控制单元33确定出此时的功率变化信息为“-1dB”。
可选的,控制单元33根据至少两个检测光波之间的功率变化信息生成功率控制指令包括但不限于以下几个步骤:
1、控制单元33根据接收到的m个检测光波,确定m个检测光波的m个功率变化值,每个功率变化值用于表示单个检测光波通过光纤通道30的传输后的光功率变化程度。
可选的,m个检测光波的m个发送功率为预先设置的,控制单元33预先存储有m个检测光波的m个发送功率。针对每个检测光波,当控制单元33接收到的该检测光波时,确定该检测光波的接收功率,并将该检测光波的接收功率与发送功率相减得到该检测光波的功率变化值,从而确定出m个检测光波的m个功率变化值。
比如,m的取值为2,两个检测光波包括第一检测光波A1和第二检测光波B1,当控制单元33接收到第一检测光波A1和第二检测光波B1时,控制单元33确定第一检测光波A1
的接收功率“2dB”和预存的第一检测光波A1的发送功率“1dB”,将第一检测光波A1的接收功率“2dB”减去发送功率“1dB”得到第一检测光波A1的功率变化值“1dB”;控制单元33确定第二检测光波B1的接收功率“1dB”和预存的第二检测光波B1的发送功率“3dB”,将第二检测光波B1的接收功率“1dB”减去发送功率“3dB”得到第二检测光波B1的功率变化值“-2dB”。
2、控制单元33根据m个功率变化值确定功率变化信息,功率变化信息用于表示m个检测光波通过光纤通道30传输后m个光功率的整体变化程度。
可选的,控制单元33对m个功率变化值采用预定算法进行计算,得到功率变化信息。功率变化信息是m个功率变化值的直接求和或者加权求和。其中,预定算法中的运算符包括但不限于加、减、乘、除等运算。
比如,m的取值为2,第一检测光波的功率变化值为“1dB”和第二检测光波的功率变化值为“-2dB”,则控制单元33将这2个功率变化值进行直接求和,得到功率变化信息“-1dB”。
又比如,m的取值为3,第一检测光波A1的功率变化值为“1dB”、第一检测光波A2的功率变化值为“1.6dB”和第二检测光波B1的功率变化值为“-2dB”,则控制单元33根据预先设置的每个功率变化值的权重(比如:第一检测光波A1的功率变化值对应的权重为0.4,第一检测光波A2的功率变化值对应的权重为0.6,第二检测光波的功率变化值对应的权重为1),将这3个功率变化值进行加权求和,即“0.4*1+0.6*1.6+1*(-2)”,得到功率变化信息“-0.64dB”。
又比如,m的取值为3,一个第一检测光波的功率变化值为“1dB”、另一个第一检测光波的功率变化值为“1.6dB”和第二检测光波的功率变化值为“-2dB”,则控制单元33先对两个第一检测光波的功率变化值“1dB”和“1.6dB”求取平均值“1.3dB”,再将该平均值“1.3dB”和第二检测光波的功率变化值“-2dB”进行求和,得到功率变化信息“-0.7dB”。本实施例对预定算法的算法公式不加以限定。

率变化信息“-1dB”时,控制单元33在该表中查询到与“-1dB”对应的C波段的调节系数为“S61”,L波段的调节系数为“S62”。

又比如,调节系数包括2个调节系数,控制单元33将功率增益信息“-1dB”输入预设的仿真函数,得到仿真函数的两个输出值,分别为“S61”和“S62”,则将调节系数确定为“S61”和“S62”。。
又比如,调节系数包括2个调节系数,控制单元33将功率增益信息“-1dB”输入预设的两个仿真函数(与C波段对应的仿真函数H1和与L波段对应的仿真函数H2),得到仿真函数H1的输出值为“S61”和仿真函数H2的输出值为“S62”,则确定C波段的调节系数为“S61”,L波段的调节系数为“S62”。本实施例对调节系数的确定方式不加以限定
