DAISY CHAIN WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING DEVICE AND DAISY CHAIN WAVELENGTH DIVISION MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION NETWORK UTILIZING THE DEVICE}
[6] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to optical transmission systems, and more particularly, to a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system, and more particularly, to a WDM device, a WDM system and a transmission network using the same.
[7] Recently, as the amount of information used by individuals such as the Internet, video communication, and e-commerce has increased rapidly, there has been a situation that the transmission capacity of the transmission system, which has been used previously, is insufficient. In order to cope with this situation, the WDM method is gradually spreading. The WDM method is one of transmission methods used to transmit an optical signal, and simultaneously transmits a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths to one strand of optical fiber. In the WDM method, multiplexing optical signals of different wavelengths into one strand of optical fiber is called wavelength division multiplexing, and conversely, separating optical signals multiplexed into one strand of optical fiber is called wavelength division demultiplexing.
[8] This WDM transmission technology is the easiest way to increase the transmission capacity in the optical communication network, the commercialization of the WDM system employing this is rapidly made. This movement is spreading throughout the transmission network, and the range is gradually expanding from the metro area to the access area as well as the backbone network.
[9] The basic configuration of a conventional WDM system used in a backbone network is shown in FIG. 1, and shows a configuration example of a four-channel WDM system for convenience. Referring to FIG. 1, the channel transmitters 100 to 106 generate an optical signal corresponding to an electric signal to be transmitted for each channel as a wavelength for each channel according to the WDM standard and apply it to the WDM multiplexer 108. The WDM multiplexer 108 performs wavelength division multiplexing on the optical signal of the channel converted by the channel transmitters 100 to 106 to one optical fiber and transmits the optical signal to the optical transmission path 110. The optical transmission line 110 is provided with optical amplifiers 112 to 116 to compensate for the loss value generated when the wavelength division multiplexed optical signals by the WDM multiplexer 108 pass through the optical fiber and the optical element. The WDM demultiplexer 118 receives the optical signal transmitted through the wavelength division multiplexing and separates the wavelength by wavelength division demultiplexing. The channel receivers 120 to 126 convert optical signals of the channels separated by the WDM demultiplexer 118 into electrical signals by optical / electric conversion, respectively.
[10] In the WDM system used in the backbone network as described above, parts common to each wavelength, such as a WDM multiplexer, an optical amplifier, and a WDM demultiplexer, must be installed at initial installation.
[11] However, the WDM system used in the metro area or the access area is relatively inexpensive, the system capacity is smaller than the WDM system used in the backbone network, and the use of an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) is relatively limited.
[12] Therefore, it is expensive to install expensive WDM system from the beginning such as WDM system used in backbone network in the area such as metro / access area that requires relatively inexpensive system compared to backbone network. It becomes difficult.
[13] Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a WDM device, a WDM system and a transmission network using the same, which can increase a transmission capacity by simply adding a WDM function to an existing transmitter.
[14] Another object of the present invention is to provide a WDM device capable of implementing a WDM system that can be expanded without interruption of an existing service when there is a need to increase transmission capacity, and a WDM system and a transmission network using the same.

This makes it possible to implement the functions of the WDM system at low cost in a conventional transmission device, thereby reducing the initial installation cost.

And a second WDM coupler module for multiplexing and separating and outputting the optical signal having a predetermined wavelength and the WDM optical signal having the remaining wavelength.

[21] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description and the annexed drawings, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.
[22] 2 is a block diagram of a DC WDM device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the DC WDM device 200 has a first WDM coupler module 202 having a WDM coupler 206 and a WDM coupler 214. And a second WDM coupler module 204. Typically, the WDM coupler uses an Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), an Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG), and the like. As the WDM coupler 206 and 214 of FIG. 2, for example, "WD1515 100" by JDS Uniphase. Use the "Spaced ITU-Channel WDM couplers" or "WD1515 200" Spaced ITU-Channel WDM couplers ".
[23] The first WDM coupler module 202 inputs a WDM optical signal to be transmitted to the WDM input terminal 208 and inputs an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength to the optical signal input terminal 210 to transmit the WDM optical signal and the predetermined wavelength to be transmitted. Is optically divided by the WDM coupler 206 and output to the WDM output terminal 212. At this time, the WDM coupler 206 transmits the WDM optical signal input to the WDM input terminal 208 to the WDM output terminal 212 and reflects the optical signal input to the optical signal input terminal 210 to the WDM output terminal 212. By doing so, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the WDM optical signal input to the WDM input terminal 208 is a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal and the optical signal input to the optical signal input terminal 210 is a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal. When the signal is an optical signal of wavelength lambda 1, the WDM output terminal 212 outputs a wavelength division multiplexed WDM optical signal having wavelengths lambda 1, lambda 2, lambda 3, ...
[24] The second WDM coupler module 204 inputs the transmitted WDM optical signal to the WDM input terminal 216 to perform wavelength division demultiplexing by the WDM coupler 214 to divide the optical signal having a predetermined wavelength and the WDM optical signal having the remaining wavelength. The optical signal of a predetermined wavelength is output to the optical signal output terminal 218 and the WDM optical signal of the remaining wavelength is output to the WDM output terminal 220. At this time, the WDM coupler 214 reflects an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength among the WDM optical signals input to the WDM input terminal 208 to the optical signal output terminal 218 and transmits the WDM optical signal having the remaining wavelength to the WDM output terminal 220. By doing so, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the WDM optical signal input to the WDM input terminal 208 is a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal with wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ3, ... and is output to the optical signal output terminal 218. When the wavelength of the optical signal to be referred to is λ 1, an optical signal having a wavelength λ 1 is output to the optical signal output terminal 218, and the wavelengths multiplexed multiplexed WDM light is output to the WDM output terminal 220. The signal is output.
[25] 4 illustrates an example of configuring a DC WDM system using a DC WDM device as described above, wherein the DC WDM system and the optical transmission paths 404 and 406 for transmitting and receiving WDM optical signals with each other. A pair of DC WDM systems 400 and 402 connected to each other have four SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) transmitters (hereinafter, referred to as "10G SDH transmitters") each having a transmission capacity of four 10Gbps. The 10G SDH transmitters 408-414 of the DC WDM system 400 and the 10G SDH transmitters 426-432 of the DC WDM system 402, respectively, have one wavelength corresponding to each other in a point-to-point connection. Will transmit and receive optical signals. Each of the 10G SDH transmitters 408 to 414 is coupled to one of the DC WDM devices 416 to 422 as shown in FIG. 2. Similarly, each of the 10G SDH transmitters 426 to 432 is connected to each other. DC WDM devices 434 to 440 as shown in FIG. 2 are correspondingly combined one by one. And DC WDM devices 416-422, 426-432 are connected in DC, that is, daisy-chained form, among which DC WDM device 422 is EDFA, that is, optical fiber amplifier 424. Are connected to the transmit and receive optical transmission paths 404 and 406, and among the DC WDM devices 434 to 440, the DC WDM device 440 is connected to the transmit and receive optical transmission paths 404 and 406 through the EDFA 442. .
[26] As shown in FIG. 4, the wavelength of the optical signal transmitted and received between the pair of 10G SDH transmitters 408,426 is lambda 1, and the wavelength of the optical signal transmitted and received between the pair of 10G SDH transmitters 410,428 is lambda 2, When the wavelength of the optical signal transmitted and received between the 10G SDH transmitters 412 and 430 is λ 3, and the wavelength of the optical signal transmitted and received between the pair of 10G SDH transmitters 414 and 432 is λ 4, the transmission and reception optical transmission paths 404 and 406 The WDM optical signal transmitted / received between the DC WDM systems 400 and 402 through a) becomes an optical signal in which wavelengths λ1 to λ4 are wavelength division multiplexed.
[27] Herein, the operation of the DC WDM devices 416 and 434 in connection with FIG. 2 is as follows. First, the WDM input terminal 208 and the WDM output terminal 220 of the DC WDM devices 416 and 434 are open, and the optical signal input terminal 210 and the optical signal output terminal 218 are coupled to each of the 10G SDH transmitters 408 and 426, respectively. An optical signal having a wavelength λ1 and an SDH transmitter 408 and 426 are transmitted and received, and the WDM output terminal 212 and the WDM input terminal 216 are respectively the WDM input terminal 208 and the WDM output terminal 220 of each of the DC WDM devices 418 and 436. Is connected to. Therefore, the DC WDM devices 416 and 434 transmit an optical signal having a wavelength 1 input from the 10G SDH transmitters 408 and 426 to the optical signal input terminal 210 as a WDM optical signal to the DC WDM devices 418 and 436 by wavelength division multiplexing. On the other hand, the WDM optical signal in the wavelength division multiplexed state is input from the DC WDM devices 418 and 436 to output the optical signal having the wavelength λ1 to the 10G SDH transmitters 408 and 426.
[28] The DC WDM devices 418 and 436 perform wavelength division multiplexing on the WDM optical signal having the wavelength 1 input from the DC WDM devices 416 and 434, respectively, and the optical signal having the wavelength 2 input from the 10G SDH transmitters 410 and 428. WDM optical signals having wavelengths λ1 and λ2 wavelength-division multiplexed are output to the DC WDM devices 420 and 438, and the optical signals of the wavelength λ2 and the remaining wavelengths λ1 are respectively output from the WDM optical signals input from the DC WDM devices 420 and 438, respectively. The WDM optical signals are separated and output to the 10G SDH transmitters 410 and 428, and the WDM optical signals of wavelength λ1 are output to the DC WDM devices 420 and 438, respectively.
[29] Since the remaining DC WDM devices 420 and 438 and the DC WDM devices 422 and 440 operate as described above except for wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing, the description thereof will be omitted.
[30] As described above, while the pair of DC WDM systems 400 and 402 each operate with four 10G SDH transmitters 408 to 414 and 426 to 432, WDM wavelengths other than wavelengths λ 1 to λ 4 to increase transmission capacity, For example, an example in which one additional 10G SDH transmitter for transmitting and receiving an optical signal having a wavelength λ5 needs to be added will be described. Combine a DC WDM device with each pair of 10G SDH transmitters to be expanded. Each DC WDM device may be connected between the DC WDM devices 422 and 440 and the EDFAs 424 and 442. Alternatively, it may be connected to the WDM input terminal 208 and the WDM output terminal 220 which are not used between other DC WDM devices or in the DC WDM devices 416 and 434.
[31] As described above, the DC WDM device 200 is correspondingly coupled to each pair of transmitters to be point-to-point connected in the metro / access area, and the DC WDM devices respectively coupled to the transmitters are DC, that is, When connected in a daisy chain form, it is possible to increase the transmission capacity by simply adding a WDM function to an existing transmission device without installing the WDM system as shown in FIG. In addition, since the metro / access area has a shorter transmission distance than the backbone network, unlike the WDM multiplexer 108 and the WDM demultiplexer 118 of FIG. do. In addition, the DC WDM device does not perform wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing of optical signals of many channels such as the WDM multiplexer 108 and the WDM demultiplexer 118 of FIG. The optical signal of wavelength has only WDM optical signal and wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing function. Therefore, when the transmission capacity needs to be increased, DC WDM devices can be connected to each new pair of point-to-point pairs and connected to other DC WDM devices in the form of DC so that the existing service can be expanded without interruption. Will be.
[32] On the other hand, there may be a case where the optical transmitter and the optical receiver used in the transmission apparatus to be expanded are not WDM capable, in which case the DC WDM device having the optical transmitter 306 and the optical receiver 308 as shown in FIG. 300). The WDM coupler module 302 of the DC WDM device 300 of FIG. 3 adds an optical transmitter 306 to the WDM coupler module 202 of FIG. 2 and receives electrical signals from the transmitter instead of the optical signal input 210. The electrical signal input terminal 310 for input is installed and configured. The optical transmitter 306 converts an electrical signal input to the electrical signal input terminal 310 into an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength and applies it to the WDM coupler 206. The WDM coupler module 304 of the DC WDM device 300 also adds an optical receiver 308 to the WDM coupler module 204 of FIG. 2 and outputs an electrical signal to the transmitter instead of the optical signal output stage 218. The electric signal output end 312 is provided and comprised. The optical receiver 308 converts the optical signal separated by the WDM coupler 214 into an electrical signal and outputs the electrical signal to the electrical signal output terminal 312.
[33] Meanwhile, a ring-type transmission network capable of branching / combining as shown in FIG. 5 as well as a DC-WDM system of point-to-point connection as shown in FIG. 4 using the DC WDM device according to the present invention is provided. It can also be configured.
[34] 5 is a block diagram of a DC WDM transmission network using a DC WDM device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each pair of DC WDM systems 500 and 502 and another pair of DC WDM systems as shown in FIG. Connect an OADM 512 to the DC WDM system 508 and an OADM to the DC WDM system 514 while connecting a pair of Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) 504,506 between the (508,510). An example of connecting 514 is shown. The OADM 504 performs branching / coupling on the WDM optical signal transmitted between the DC WDM system 500 and the DC WDM system 508, and the OADM 506 performs the DC WDM system 502 and the DC WDM system. Performs branching / combining on the WDM optical signals transmitted between 510.
[35] Meanwhile, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the embodiment of the present invention has been applied to the implementation of the transmission system of FIG. 4 and the transmission network of FIG. 5 using a DC WDM device, but may be applied to other applications as necessary. Therefore, the scope of the invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be defined by the equivalent of claims and claims.
[36] As described above, the present invention makes it easy to add a WDM function by distributing wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing functions for each transmission device by connecting an optical signal in DC form while using an existing transmission device as a point-to-point connection. There is an advantage in that a WDM system can be implemented that can increase the transmission capacity and can be expanded without interrupting existing services.
