Vim li cas Optical Amplification hloov txhua yam

Nov yog cov lus nug uas tsim nyog nug: vim li cas lub ntiaj teb fiber ntau network tawg hauv xyoo 1990 tom qab ob xyoos ntawm kev loj hlob me me?

Cov lus teb tsis yog fiber ntau nws tus kheej - qis- poob silica fiber ntau muaj txij li xyoo 1970. Qhov kev tawg yog optical amplification. Ua ntej EDFA kev lag luam nyob ib puag ncig xyoo 1990-1992, ntev- cov kav hlau txais xov yuav tsum tau kho qhov muag- hluav taws xob- kho qhov muag (OEO) regenerators txhua 40-80km. Txhua lub tshuab hluav taws xob txhais tau hais tias cov khoom siv khib nyiab, lub zog, cua txias, thiab - thuam - cov khoom siv tshwj xeeb me ntsis. Koj puas xav hloov kho los ntawm 2.5G rau 10G? Hloov txhua regenerator ntawm txoj kev.

EDFAs tau hloov pauv kev lag luam tag nrho. Ib lub cuab yeej tuaj yeem nthuav dav tag nrho cov wavelengths ib txhij, pob tshab, tsis muaj kev saib xyuas seb koj puas tau khiav 2.5G, 10G, lossis thaum kawg 100G. Kev lag luam submarine cable yog kab tias thawj zaug los tuav qhov no - los ntawm nruab nrab-1990s, transoceanic systems tau hloov tag nrho mus rau optical amplification. Terrestrial networks ua raws li sai sai.

Niaj hnub no, peb lub amplifier technologies dominate:EDFA, SOA, thiab Raman.Txhua qhov tshwm sim los ntawm txawv physics, thiab txhua tus pom nws lub niche. Tab sis yog tias EDFA daws qhov teeb meem zoo nkauj heev, vim li cas peb tseem xav tau ob qho ntxiv? Qhov ntawd yog lo lus nug no tsab xov xwm aims los teb.

 

 

EDFA: The Technology Uas Tsim Internet Backbone

Lub erbium-doped fiber amplifier tsis yog nrov xwb - nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb ua ke nrog optical amplification hauv kev sib txuas lus. Kev lag luam kwv yees qhia tias EDFAs suav txog ntau dua 80% ntawm cov khoom siv amplifiers hauv cov pob txha caj qaum. Muaj ib qho laj thawj rau qhov kev tswj hwm, tab sis kuj muaj kev txwv tsim nyog nkag siab.

 

Yuav Ua Li Cas Tiag Tiag

Kev ua haujlwm EDFA nyob ntawm qhov muaj hmoo ntawm kev sib raug zoo ntawm atomic physics. Erbium ions, thaum embedded hauv silica iav, muaj lub zog hloov pauv uas yuav luag zoo tag nrho nrog rau 1550nm qis - poob qhov rais ntawm optical fiber. Tso lub erbium nrog 980nm lossis 1480nm lub teeb, thiab nws mus txog lub xeev zoo siab metastable. Cov teeb liab photons dhau los ntawm kev ua kom muaj zog emission - coherent amplification yam tsis muaj hluav taws xob hloov pauv.

Lub 980nm twj tso kua mis tsim nyog tau txais kev hais tshwj xeeb. Nws ua tiav cov suab nrov qis (nyob ib puag ncig 4 dB piv rau 5-6 dB rau 1480nm siv) vim tias nws tsim kom muaj kev cuam tshuam ntau ntawm cov pej xeem. Rau cov suab nrov-sensitive daim ntaub ntawv xws li submarine cables, qhov sib txawv no tseem ceeb heev tshaj txhiab kilometers.

Daim duab: EDFA architecture - nco ntsoov cov neeg sib cais tiv thaiv rov qab ASE los ntawm kev ua kom tsis muaj zog ntawm lub twj tso kua mis laser.

 

Kev Ua Haujlwm: Tus lej ntawd tseem ceeb

Parameter	Tus nqi	Nws txhais li cas hauv kev xyaum
Me me -cim nce	30-50 dB	Compensates 150-250km ntawm fiber ntau poob
Nrov duab	4-6 dB	Txhua lub amplifier ntxiv ~ 3-4 dB suab nrov sib npaug

Cov teeb meem tsis muaj leej twg hais txog hauv Phau Ntawv

Tau txais flatness yog qhov nyuaj tshaj qhov nws zoo li.Raw EDFA nce txawv ntawm 10+ dB hla ​​C-band - kiag li siv tsis tau rau DWDM yam tsis tau kho. Tau txais -flattening filters (GFFs) daws qhov no, tab sis ntawm no yog qhov ntes: qhov zoo tshaj plaws lim zoo nyob ntawm kev ua haujlwm. Hloov cov chaw thau khoom lossis lub twj tso kua mis, thiab koj tus qauv tsim GFF ua tib zoo. EDFAs niaj hnub siv cov khoom siv kho qhov muag sib txawv (VOAs) lossis dynamic nce equalizers (DGEs) los them, ntxiv cov nqi thiab qhov nyuaj.

ASE accumulation nws thiaj li yeej.Amplified spontaneous emission loj hlob nrog txhua theem amplifier. Rau N cascaded amplifiers, tag nrho ASE lub zog ntsuas kwv yees li N × NF × G × hν × Δf. Hauv cov ntsiab lus ua tau zoo, qhov no txhais tau hais tias lub tshuab transoceanic khaws cov suab nrov txaus los txwv kev sib kis deb txawm tias muaj fiber ntau zoo meej. Qhov kev tshawb nrhiav rau cov suab nrov qis dua - txawm tias los ntawm cov tswv yim twj tso kua mis zoo dua, Raman ua ntej -amplification, lossis faib Raman - yeej tsis tas yuav xaus.

Transient suppression yog ib qho teeb meem ntawm lub system.Thaum cov channel poob dheev (fiber txiav, kev tiv thaiv kev hloov pauv), cov kab txuas ntxiv tau txais kev nce ntxiv raws li EDFA sim pov tseg cov twj tso kua mis ntau dhau qhov chaw. Cov channel tseem muaj sia nyob tuaj yeem pom lub zog mus ncig ua si ntawm ntau dB, uas ua rau muaj kev ua yuam kev lossis ua rau cov neeg txais kev puas tsuaj. Kev lag luam tau sib sau ua ke ntawm kev tswj tsis siv neeg nce (AGC) nrog sub-millisecond teb, tab sis ua tiav qhov kev ntseeg siab thoob plaws txhua qhov kev ua haujlwm tseem yog ib qho kev sib tw ua haujlwm.

 

Qhov twg EDFA Excels

Ntev -haul terrestrial networks (80-120km ncua raws li ITU-T G.692 cov lus qhia)

Submarine systems (nrog rau qhov tshwj xeeb siab - cov twj tso kua mis kev ntseeg siab rau 25 xyoo hauv qab dej hiav txwv)

Siab -channel- suav DWDM(40, 80, 96 raws thiab tshaj)

Metro core qhov kev ua tau zoo tso cai rau tus nqi them nqi tshaj lwm txoj hauv kev

 

 

SOA: Kev cog lus zoo, kev txwv tsis pub muaj kev ntxhov siab

Semiconductor optical amplifiers yuav tsum, nyob rau hauv txoj kev xav, yog cov tshuaj zoo meej. Lawv yog cov me me - me me txaus los koom ua ke ntawm photonic nti. Lawv yog broadband - npog 60-100nm yam tsis muaj lim. Lawv ceev ceev - nanosecond teb lub sij hawm pab kho qhov muag hloov daim ntawv thov. Thiab tseem, SOAs tseem yog ib qho cuab yeej cuab tam hauv kev sib txuas lus. Dab tsi ua yuam kev?

 

Lub Physics thiab nws cov txiaj ntsig

Ib qho SOA yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm lub laser diode ua haujlwm hauv qab qhov pib, nrog rau kev tiv thaiv - cov coatings los tiv thaiv oscillation. Kev txhaj tshuaj hluav taws xob tam sim no tsim cov pej xeem inversion nyob rau hauv semiconductor waveguide (feem ntau InGaAsP / InP rau 1550nm ua haujlwm). Cov teeb liab photons ua rau muaj kev tawm dag zog, ib yam li hauv EDFA.

Qhov teeb meem yog carrier dynamics. Cov neeg nqa khoom semiconductor muaj lub neej nyob ib puag ncig 100-500 picoseconds - nrawm txaus uas qhov nce tau teb rau tus qauv me ntsis. A '1' me ntsis depletes cov cab kuj; nce poob. Cov nram qab no '0' me ntsis tso cai rau ib nrab rov qab. Qhov kev nce ntawm tus qauv no ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam kev cuam tshuam uas cuam tshuam rau ntawm tus nqi qis dua thiab cov qauv ntev dua.

Visual: Npauj npaim- ntim SOA piv rau lub khib-mounted EDFA. Qhov zoo ntawm qhov loj me yog qhov ua tau zoo - tab sis yog qhov ua tau zoo sib xws.

 

 

Kev Ua Haujlwm: Tus lej Ncaj Ncees

Parameter	Tus nqi	Qhov Kev Tshawb Fawb
Me me -cim nce	15-25 dB	Ib nrab qhov nce ntawm EDFA
Nrov duab	7-9 dB	3 dB phem tshaj EDFA cov tebchaw nyob rau ntau theem
Saturation zog	+10 rau +17 dBm	Txwv tag nrho lub zog channel hnyav heev
Bandwidth	60-100 nm	Muaj tseeb tiag
Teb sijhawm	~ 100 ib	Ceev, tab sis qhov no ua rau cov qauv cuam tshuam

 

Vim li cas SOA Struggled hauv Telecom

Qhov teeb meem suab nrov yog qhov tseem ceeb.Ntawd 7 -9 dB suab nrov tsis yog ib qho kev tivthaiv immaturity - nws qhia txog lub hauv paus ntawm physics. Coupling poob ntawm cov nti facets, txawm nrog hom converters, ntxiv 1-2 dB. Cov pej xeem tsis tiav inversion hauv semiconductors ntxiv ob peb dB. EDFAs, nrog rau lawv lub neej ntev metastable thiab tsis tshua muaj fiber ntau txuas, tsuas yog muaj qhov zoo ntawm cov qauv.

Ntau-channel kev ua haujlwm tsoo ib phab ntsa.Hla-tau txais kev hloov pauv hloov pauv hloov pauv ntawm cov channel. Hauv DWDM system, qhov no tsim kev sib tham tsis raug. Tau txais -clamped SOA tsim los txo qhov teeb meem tab sis ntxiv qhov nyuaj thiab txo qee qhov loj / nqi zoo.

Frankly, kev lag luam hauv xov tooj tau ua ib qho kev sib koom ua thawj koom ruam ntawm EDFAs thaum ntxov 1990s. Kev tsim khoom scaled, cov nqi poob, thiab cov ecosystem solidified nyob ib ncig ntawm erbium. SOAs tau dhau los ua kev daws teeb meem nrhiav teeb meem EDFAs tsis tuaj yeem daws tau.

 

Qhov twg SOA Tiag Ua Tau Zoo

Hais tias, SOAs pom lawv cov niches:

Transmitter boosters:Kev koom ua ke rau hauv cov khoom xa tawm, SOA tuaj yeem them nyiaj rau kev hloov pauv hloov pauv yam tsis muaj EDFA tag nrho.

Lub receiver preamplifiers:Qhov twg qhov chaw tseem ceeb tshaj lub suab nrov.

Optical switching:Cov lus teb ceev ceev uas ua rau cov qauv cuam tshuam hauv kev nthuav dav dhau los ua qhov zoo dua rau kev nkag mus thiab hloov.

Kev hloov pauv wavelength:Hla- tau txais kev hloov pauv thiab plaub- sib xyaw ua ke, kev lav phib xaub hauv kev nthuav dav, ua tau zoo rau kev txhais lus wavelength.

Silicon photonics kev koom ua ke:Heterogeneous integration ntawm III-V SOAs ntawm silicon platforms yog ua kom cov ntaub ntawv chaw tshiab architectures.

 

 

Raman Amplification: Physics nyiam qhov Bold

Yog tias EDFA ua tau zoo, vim li cas ib tus neeg yuav thab nrog Raman amplification - thev naus laus zis xav tau lub zog twj tso kua mis ntau dua, kev tsim cov txheej txheem nyuaj, thiab kev tswj xyuas kev nyab xeeb zoo?

Cov lus teb yog nyob rau hauv ib qho txiaj ntsig zoo: faib nce. Thiab rau ultra-ntev- lub tshuab nqa, qhov zoo dua yog tsim nyog rau qhov teeb meem.

 

Mechanism

Raman amplification exploits stimulated Raman tawg nyob rau hauv lub transmission fiber nws tus kheej. Lub twj tso kua mis laser (feem ntau 1450nm rau lub teeb liab amplification nyob ib ncig ntawm 1550nm) hloov lub zog rau cov teeb liab photons los ntawm molecular vibrations - tshwj xeeb, qhov ~ 13 THz optical phonon zaus ntawm silica.

Qhov kev pom tseem ceeb: amplification tshwm sim raws tag nrho cov fiber ntau, tsis yog ntawm cov ntsiab lus sib cais. Cov teeb liab tau txhawb nqa tsis tu ncua thaum lawv nthuav tawm, tiv thaiv lawv los ntawm kev mus txog qib qis zog uas ua rau lub suab nrov nrov hauv cov khoom siv hluav taws xob lumped.

Pom:Sib piv cov teeb liab fais fab kev hloov pauv - EDFA tsim ib qho kev pom- cov qauv hniav nrog qhov tob tob; Raman tswj hwm lub zog tsawg kawg nkaus thoob plaws lub sijhawm.

 

Kev Ua Haujlwm: Kev Lag Luam Kev Lag Luam

Parameter	Tus nqi	Vim Li Cas Nws Tseem Ceeb
Ntawm - tawm qhov nce	10-25 dB	qis dua EDFA, tab sis qhov ntawd tsis yog lub ntsiab lus
Cov suab nrov zoo	Ua tau<0 dB	Yog, tsis zoo - piav qhia hauv qab no
Pump zog yuav tsum tau	300-500 mW ib wavelength	Class 3B/4 laser kev nyab xeeb cuam tshuam
Tau txais bandwidth	~ 100nm rau ib lub twj tso kua mis	Ntau lub twj tso kua mis ua kom lub dav dav dav

Hais txog qhov tsis zoo suab daim duab:Raman amplifiers tsis ua txhaum physics. Qhov "cov suab nrov zoo" metric piv rau Raman amplifier faib mus rau lub suab nrov nrov ntawm lub suab tawm tswv yim. Vim hais tias Raman boosts cov cim ua ntej lawv mus txog qhov tsawg kawg nkaus lub zog, nws ua tiav tib qhov tso zis OSNR uas yuav xav tau qhov tsis zoo tsis zoo - suab nrov - daim duab discrete amplifier. Cov txiaj ntsig tau zoo: 3-5 dB OSNR txhim kho dua EDFA-tsuas yog kev teeb tsa.

 

Kev Sib Tw Engineering

Kev nyab xeeb tsis yog - sib tham.Raman twj ua haujlwm ntawm 500+ mW - Chav 3B lossis Class 4 laser thaj chaw. IEC 60825-2 txoj cai tsis siv neeg laser kaw (ALS) nrog qhib fiber ntau nrhiav pom. Tab sis ntawm no yog cov qauv uas tsis tau txais tag nrho: cov neeg ua haujlwm saib xyuas xav tau kev kaw haujlwm nruj heev -tagout (LOTO) cov txheej txheem ua ntej ua haujlwm ntawm Raman- nthuav dav. Tus kws tshaj lij xav tias cov fiber ntau muaj kev nyab xeeb vim tias qhov deb - cov cuab yeej siv hluav taws xob kawg tuaj yeem tau txais qhov pom qhov pom kev txaus ntshai yog tias lub twj tso kua mis Raman hauv zos tseem ua haujlwm. Kev xa tawm tiag tiag hauv ntiaj teb xav tau kev cob qhia, cov txheej txheem, thiab kab lis kev cai kev nyab xeeb tshaj li qhov xav tau ntawm lub tshuab hluav taws xob.

Muab ob npaug rau Rayleigh backscattering teeb tsa nce kev txwv.Raman amplification boosts ob lub teeb liab thiab Rayleigh- tawg tawg. Ob zaug- lub teeb tawg tuaj txog qeeb ntawm lub receiver, tsim ntau- txoj kev cuam tshuam. Tshaj li ~ 15 dB ntawm - tawm qhov nce hauv ib ntu, qhov kev nplua DRB no dhau los ua qhov tseem ceeb. Kev xa tawm Raman feem ntau nyob qis dua qhov pib no, siv hybrid Raman + EDFA configurations qhov twg Raman muab 10-15 dB ntawm kev faib nce thiab EDFA ntxiv qhov seem lumped nce.

Pump-kev sib cuam tshuam teeb liab ua rau DWDM nyuaj.Hauv cov tshuab dav dav, luv dua - wavelength channels hloov lub zog mus ntev dua - wavelength channels los ntawm kev txhawb nqa Raman tawg. Qhov no tsim qhov nce qaij uas yuav tsum tau them nyiaj los ntawm ntau - wavelength pumping nrog ceev faj ntsuas lub zog. Lub twj tso kua mis wavelength thiab lub zog ua kom zoo rau 96-channel system yog qhov nyuaj tiag tiag - thiab hloov pauv nrog hom fiber ntau.

 

Qhov twg Raman Pov Thawj Qhov Tseem Ceeb

Ultra-ntev-haul terrestrial:Cov txheej txheem tsom mus rau 3000+ km unregenerated ncav cuag xav tau txhua dB ntawm OSNR kom zoo dua.

Submarine cables:Kev nthuav dav amplifier spacing txo cov nqi kim, tsis ua hauj lwm -nrhiav dej hiav txwv repeaters.

Hybrid configurations:Raman ua ntej-amplification ua ke nrog EDFA tau dhau los ua qauv kev coj ua rau 400G+ coherent systems.

Extended bands:Rau S-band los yog dhau ntawm-L-band amplification qhov twg EDFA xaiv raug txwv, Raman muab ib qho kev hloov pauv hloov tau.
