Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical fiber communication technology, and in particular to a polarization demultiplexing method and system based on Stokes space rotation angle and phase delay estimation. Background Art

[0002] Intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) are mainly used in modern data center optical transmission systems. At the transmitting end, an electrical signal is used to change the intensity of the optical signal so that it changes according to the strength of the electrical signal. This modulation method is usually achieved by changing the injection current of a light source (such as a semiconductor laser or a light-emitting diode). At the receiving end, a photodetector (such as a PIN photodiode or an APD avalanche photodiode) is used to directly detect the intensity of the light and convert the change in the optical signal into a change in the electrical signal. Since the detected signal is usually very weak, it needs to be amplified and regenerated first to restore the original electrical signal. IM-DD technology has a relatively simple system structure and does not require complex signal processing circuits, so it is low in cost. In addition, direct detection technology avoids complex signal processing processes and reduces the possibility of system failure. Therefore, this technology is currently widely used in single-wavelength 100Gb / s and 200Gb / s networks in data centers.

[0003] However, the optical signal transmitted by IMDD technology only involves the dimension of amplitude. Compared with the amplitude, phase and polarization dimensions used by coherent optical transmission technology, the channel capacity that IMDD technology can transmit is one-fourth of that of coherent optical transmission technology. In order to further improve the channel capacity of IMDD technology, polarization multiplexing IMDD technology has recently become a research hotspot. This technology can double the channel capacity of IMDD technology while still maintaining the advantages of low complexity and high reliability of IMDD technology.

[0004] In the polarization multiplexing IMDD architecture, polarization state monitoring and compensation are key technologies to ensure signal transmission quality. Due to the time-varying birefringence distributed along the optical fiber, the polarization state (SOP) of the optical signal changes randomly during transmission. This change will cause signal distortion and increase the bit error rate, seriously affecting the performance and reliability of the communication system. Therefore, in order to obtain the original signal at the transmission receiving end, polarization demultiplexing is required at the receiving end. However, traditional polarization state estimation methods usually rely on the entire spectrum for processing. Although these methods can provide high accuracy, they have problems such as high complexity, high cost, and high power consumption in practical applications. In particular, the high sampling rate analog-to-digital conversion unit and digital signal processing process will significantly increase the complexity of the IMDD architecture; at the same time, the solution of polarization demultiplexing using pilots is mainly to add pilots to the signal at the transmitting end, and realize polarization demultiplexing by controlling the pilot power. However, this method of adding pilots will affect the performance of the transmitted signal, resulting in the degradation of transmission performance. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a polarization demultiplexing method and system based on the rotation angle and phase delay estimation of the Stokes space, so as to solve the problems of high complexity, high cost, high power consumption, etc. of the traditional polarization state estimation method in the prior art, especially the high sampling rate analog-to-digital conversion unit and the digital signal processing process, which will significantly increase the complexity of the IMDD architecture; at the same time, the scheme of polarization demultiplexing using the pilot is mainly to add a pilot to the signal at the transmitting end, and realize polarization demultiplexing by controlling the pilot power. However, this method of adding the pilot will affect the performance of the transmission signal, resulting in the problem of degradation of the transmission performance.

[0019]

[0020] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the present application further provides a polarization demultiplexing system based on the estimation of the rotation angle and phase delay in Stokes space, comprising: an optical beam splitter, a Stokes vector receiving and processing unit, a polarization control plate, and a first polarization beam splitter, wherein:

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application uses a Stokes vector receiving architecture to calculate the Stokes vector of a dual-polarization IMDD signal in a polarization multiplexing IMDD optical fiber transmission system. After the received Stokes optical vector signal passes through a low sampling rate and low bandwidth analog-to-digital converter, a polarization demultiplexing algorithm is used to estimate the rotation angle and phase delay, thereby eliminating the change in polarization state rotation. Among them, the Stokes vector is a Stokes vector, which uses four parameters to describe the intensity and polarization state of the light wave.

[0046] The system provided in the embodiment of the present application mainly operates near the 1310nm wavelength of the O band, thereby ensuring that the system will not be affected by the fiber dispersion. In the polarization multiplexing signal modulation process at the transmitting end, two independent electrical signals are modulated to two polarization states respectively. In the transmission scenario inside the data center, the polarization multiplexing optical signal is transmitted in a single optical fiber. After the signal light is transmitted through the optical fiber, it is divided into two parts by an optical beam splitter at the receiving end, one of which is used to calculate the polarization state of the polarization multiplexing signal light through the Stokes vector receiving and processing unit, and the other part is used to adjust the polarization state of the signal light through the polarization control plate. It should be pointed out that the calculated polarization state of the signal light is demodulated by the polarization control plate. After the polarization state demodulation of the optical signal, it passes through the polarization beam splitter to restore two independent electrical signals. If the transmitted electrical signal adopts the modulation format of PAM4, the subsequent clock recovery and signal judgment can be completed using the traditional PAM4 digital signal processing chip. Thereby realizing the reuse of the traditional client-side PAM4 digital signal processing chip, maintaining the low power consumption and low cost characteristics of the IMDD system. This solves the problems of high complexity, high cost, high power consumption, etc. in the traditional polarization state estimation method in the prior art. In particular, the high sampling rate analog-to-digital conversion unit and the digital signal processing process will significantly increase the complexity of the IMDD architecture. At the same time, the solution of using pilots for polarization demultiplexing is mainly to add pilots to the signal at the transmitting end, and realize polarization demultiplexing by controlling the pilot power. However, this method of adding pilots will affect the performance of the transmitted signal, resulting in the problem of degradation of the transmission performance.

[0047] In order to realize polarization multiplexing IMDD transmission and maintain the low-cost characteristics of the IMDD architecture, it is necessary to use a simple digital signal processing method to realize polarization compensation. In this application, the polarization multiplexing IMDD system operates near 1310nm in the O band, so in short-distance scenarios, the system will not be affected by dispersion. This application focuses on realizing the polarization function in the polarization multiplexing system and does not affect the transceiver architecture of the current IMDD system. The specific method is to use a Stokes vector optical receiver at the receiving end to receive the polarization multiplexing signal and estimate the state of the polarization state. Based on the estimated polarization state, the polarization control plate is adjusted to achieve polarization demultiplexing.

[0048] In the self-coherent optical transmission system of the data center, a polarization control board is added to the transmission link to realize polarization demultiplexing of polarization multiplexed signals in the optical domain. The main innovation of this application is that the polarization demultiplexing operation is completed in the optical domain, that is, all changes to the system are made in the optical domain, so that the two-way signal at the receiving end can be received completely independently, and the demodulation of the transmitting end signal can be realized by using the traditional PAM4 digital signal processing chip, ensuring the low-cost characteristics of IMDD.

[0049] The control principle of the dual-polarization optical signal polarization control board is to use a low-bandwidth, low-sampling-rate ADC to collect three Stokes vectors respectively. Then, a digital signal processing algorithm is used to calculate the rotation angle θ and phase delay of the optical signal polarization state. Finally, based on the calculated rotation angle θ and phase delay To adjust the polarization control plate, it is ensured that after the optical signal passes through the polarization control, the two polarization multiplexing signals are successfully separated to realize two independent signals.

[0050] Figure 1 The overall system diagram implemented for this application is as follows, Figure 1 The left side describes the transmission of optical signals in two polarization states on the same wavelength through polarization multiplexing at the transmitting end. The right side of the system obtains two polarization multiplexed signals transmitted on the same wavelength through optical fiber transmission, and divides the two polarization multiplexed signals into two parts, the first optical signal and the second optical signal, according to a preset ratio of 10:90. 10% of the first optical signal enters the Stokes vector receiving and processing unit, and based on the first optical signal, the rotation angle θ and the phase delay are calculated using a digital signal processing algorithm. According to the calculated rotation angle and phase delay, corresponding control voltages V1 and V2 are obtained, and the control voltages are output to the polarization control plate, so that the polarization control plate is adjusted by using the obtained control voltage, so that after the second optical signal passes through the polarization control plate, the two polarization multiplexing signals of the second optical signal part are separated, thereby realizing two independent signals. The second optical signal received by the last receiving end after passing through the polarization control plate is demodulated by the first polarization beam splitter, and finally two independent output optical signals are obtained, so as to be further demodulated by two direct detection receivers respectively. Figure 1 In the figure, MZM is Mach-Zehnder modulator.

[0061] In some embodiments, the derivation of the calculation process for obtaining the Stokes vectors S1, S2, S3 includes:

[0062]

[0063] Where X / Y represents the X / Y polarization of the signal, Re(·) and Im(·) represent the real and imaginary parts of the complex variable, respectively, the superscript * represents the complex conjugate, and (S1, S2, S3) is the mapping of (X, Y) in the Stokes space, i.e., the Stokes vector.

[0064] In some embodiments, due to the combination of the received signal and the noise, (S1, S2, S3) cannot completely fall into a plane. To solve this problem, this embodiment adopts a method of finding the least squares surface (LSP) formed by the minimum distance from each Stokes vector (SV), wherein the value ∑ i d i 2 The smallest plane, d i represents the distance from the plane to the i-th SV. Assuming that the plane equation is Ax+By+Cz=0, then the normal vector of the plane is Its relationship with SV is shown in formula (2):

[0065]

[0066] Regarding the optimization problem of the above algorithm, this embodiment adopts the method of singular value decomposition (SVD). SVD is a powerful matrix decomposition technology. By decomposing the matrix into the product of three matrices, the rank defect problem of the matrix can be effectively handled and the calculation process can be simplified. Specifically, this embodiment decomposes the data matrix into the product of an orthogonal matrix and a diagonal matrix through SVD, thereby extracting the normal vector of the plane and determining the equation of the plane. This method can not only minimize the residual sum of squares, but also has high numerical stability and accuracy. Through SVD, high-precision rotation angle and phase delay estimation can still be achieved in the case of limited bandwidth resources. This provides an efficient and reliable solution for polarization state monitoring and compensation in optical communication systems.

[0067] Specifically, the calculation of the rotation angle and phase delay of the current state after analog-to-digital conversion includes: confirming that the LSP equation is Ax+By+Cz=D through the SVD algorithm, so that the normal vector of the LSP can be determined as The calculated rotation angle θ and phase delay It can be calculated as:
