Method for automatically regulating optical power

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically regulating optical power. The method comprises steps as follows: after a dynamic power control function is started, a head node duly transmits an output optical power value as an output optical power value expected by downstream nodes to the downstream nodes through a 2.112M data channel, element management U-disks (EMU) of the downstream nodes monitor a difference between the output optical power of the current node and the expected output optical power through acquiring an output power value of an amplification disk; and when the head node increases or reduces the quantity of carriers or line attenuation is increased to cause that the difference changes and exceeds a regulating threshold, the EMUs automatically send a regulating command to the amplification disk for regulating the power output value. According to the invention, the EMUs are cooperated with a web master, an optical supervisory channel (OSC) and the amplification disk to be capable of automatically carrying out power transmission and processing and completing an automatic optical power regulation function, and the purpose of dynamically regulating the output optical power of each node to an ideal output value is achieved without manual control and regulation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the adjustment of optical power, which belongs to the technical field of communication, and specifically relates to a method for automatically adjusting optical power. Optical power automatic adjustment is called DPA for short. Background technique [0002] In the existing optical communication technology field, according to the requirement of service increase or decrease, it is usually necessary to increase or decrease the number of carriers used to transmit various service data at the head node. After the first node increases or decreases the number of carriers, its output optical power will also increase or decrease accordingly. In engineering applications, it is usually required that the output optical power of the downstream node is equal to or similar to that of the first node. In addition, when the attenuation of a certain line increases, the output optical power of the downstream node will also decrease, and even the ...
