Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with the out-to-in loopback mode is that since the backscattered light is amplified by the optical amplifier, when there is service light on the downlink line, the amplified backscattered light will cause co-frequency interference noise to the service light, Decrease the service signal-to-noise ratio on the downlink
In contrast, although the use of the out-to-out loopback mode can prevent the backscattered light from being amplified by the optical amplifier, it may not be able to achieve long-distance monitoring because the backscattered light is not amplified.

Abstract

Provided are a repeater and a loopback mode switching method. The repeater (10) comprises: a first optical coupler (201), a first optical amplifier (OA1) and a second optical coupler (202) that are connected in sequence in an uplink direction of an underwater cable, and a third optical coupler (203), a second optical amplifier (OA2) and a fourth optical coupler (204) that are connected in sequence in a downlink direction of the underwater cable. The repeater further comprises a switcher (100). The switcher comprises a first uplink terminal (101), a second uplink terminal (102), a first downlink terminal (103) and a second downlink terminal (104). The first uplink terminal is coupled to the first optical coupler, the second uplink terminal is coupled to the second optical coupler, the first downlink terminal is coupled to the third optical coupler, and the second downlink terminal is coupled to the fourth optical coupler. The switcher changes the connection relationship between the four terminals correspondingly according to a received switch indication, so that the repeater switches between an egress-to-ingress loopback mode and an ingress-to-egress loopback mode. Since the repeater can switch between the egress-to-ingress loopback mode and the ingress-to-egress loopback mode, a monitoring device is enabled to monitor a longer distance and obtain a larger dynamic range, and no co-channel interference is caused to service light in the downlink, so that a high signal-to-noise ratio of a service is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a repeater for an underwater optical cable and a loopback mode switching method. Background technique [0002] Monitoring equipment for monitoring underwater optical cables has been developed in recent years. This kind of monitoring equipment uses OTDR (OTDR: Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)) to analyze the backscattered light of the monitoring light, so as to realize the monitoring of underwater optical cables. When using monitoring equipment for monitoring, the backscattered light of the monitoring light can be obtained by forming a loop circuit between the uplink and downlink of the underwater optical cable. [0003] Generally, the loopback mode between the uplink and downlink of the underwater optical cable includes an out-to-in loopback mode and an out-to-out loopback mode. For example, when monitoring the uplink, the out-in loopback mode means that the backscattered light of the moni...
