Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of relay stations for fiber optic optical frequency transfer, and particularly relates to a relay station for digitally locking a fiber optic link and real-time monitoring of phase noise. Background Art
[0002] In the field of fiber optic optical frequency transfer, in order to achieve remote optical clock comparison, long-distance optical frequency transfer requires a relay station to improve the transfer accuracy. By phase-locking the regenerated light source to the input light, optical regeneration amplification is achieved, which can effectively filter out noise outside the amplification bandwidth and improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
[0003] The circuit of the relay station consists of three parts: a link phase error compensation part circuit, a laser locking part circuit, and a main control circuit. The relay station serves to achieve long-distance fiber optic link locking, and high-precision long-distance link locking is required to achieve long-distance optical clock comparison.
[0004] Existing relay stations cannot achieve long-term locking and will have problems of fiber optic link unlocking under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. To determine the locking result, it is necessary to measure the phase noise power spectral density of the locked signal. Existing instruments for measuring phase noise power spectral density are large in volume and very heavy. This equipment is laid on a link of thousands of kilometers and requires fully automated monitoring. Large phase noise meters are not suitable for actual test requirements. The fiber optic link is laid along the highway, with a lot of noise, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio of the link error signal. As Figure 6 shown, the fiber optic link is prone to unlocking due to environmental impact interference, and the impact interference will directly damage the control bandwidth of the phase-locked loop, and the impact interference is very intense.

[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] This embodiment provides a relay station for digitally locking and real-time monitoring the phase noise of an optical fiber link, as Figure 1 shown in the principle block diagram of the relay station, which includes a main control circuit, a link locking circuit, and a laser locking circuit; the link locking circuit is bidirectionally connected to the main control circuit, the link locking circuit sends a link locking error signal to the main control circuit, and the main control circuit sends a link locking instruction to the link locking circuit; the laser locking circuit is bidirectionally connected to the main control circuit, the laser locking circuit sends a laser locking error signal to the main control circuit, and the main control circuit sends a laser locking instruction to the laser locking circuit;
[0052] The link locking circuit includes an optical frequency digital phase-locked loop. Refer to Figure 2 , and improve the digital phase-locked loop developed based on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) to a phase-locked loop suitable for an optical frequency transfer system.
[0053] Link noise compensation is carried out based on digital phase-locked loop technology. The optical frequency digital phase-locked loop consists of an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), I / Q (In-phase / Quadrature) demodulation, a low-pass filter, a coordinate rotation digital computing device, a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller, and a DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis).
[0054] The ADC is used to convert the analog phase error signal into a digital signal, laying the foundation for subsequent digital processing; the I / Q demodulator decomposes the digital signal into I / Q components, providing key data for subsequent phase error calculation; the low-pass filter effectively filters out high-frequency noise, improving the accuracy of phase error measurement, thereby ensuring that the subsequent PID controller and DDS can generate more accurate control signals; the coordinate rotation digital computing device uses the CORDIC algorithm to calculate the phase error based on the I / Q components, providing an input for the PID controller; the PID adjusts the control parameters according to the phase error signal to ensure the stability and accuracy of the phase-locked loop. The goal of the PID controller is to minimize the phase error, so that the output frequency and phase of the system are stabilized at the desired values; the adjusted control parameters are sent to the DDS, and the DDS generates precise control signals according to the control parameters to drive the acousto-optic modulator to achieve fine adjustment of the phase.
[0055] In a general phase-locked loop, the output is from the DAC. In this embodiment, for the phase-locked loop applicable to optical frequency transfer, this part is changed to a DDS, and the DDS circuit is integrated onto the circuit board. The DDS uses the radio frequency signal to drive the acousto-optic modulator. The acousto-optic modulator is located in the optical path part of the optical frequency transfer system. Strictly speaking, it is an optical device. Its function is to shift the frequency of the light, for example, from frequency f1 to f1 + f2, where f2 is the frequency of the DDS. As an actuator, the acousto-optic modulator adjusts the frequency and phase of the optical frequency signal according to the control signal.
[0056] The link locking circuit can enable the coordinate rotation digital computing device to work properly under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, and the link will not lose lock due to abnormal operation of the coordinate rotation digital computing device.
[0057] Suppress according to the phase error signal obtained by phase discrimination of the coordinate rotation digital computing device, and perform fast Fourier analysis on the phase error signal to obtain the phase noise power spectral density.
[0058] During the process of link noise suppression, it is possible to judge whether the noise has been suppressed to the theoretical noise suppression limit according to the magnitude of the phase noise power spectral density.
[0059] The meaning of laser locking is to phase-lock the regenerated light source phase of the laser on the input light phase, and then use the regenerated light as an amplified technology for the output light. Within a certain bandwidth, the output light phase is consistent with the input light phase, and the output light power is several orders of magnitude greater than the input light power, thereby realizing the regeneration and amplification of optical signals. The laser uses the PDH (Pound-Drever-Hall, the principle of laser frequency stabilization named after three developers) frequency stabilization principle for locking.
[0060] The main control circuit realizes the transmission and communication of control signals. Both the link locking signal and the laser locking signal need to be controlled through this main control circuit. The main control circuit will issue laser locking instructions and link locking instructions, and the error signal will be uploaded to the main control circuit for monitoring the locking state. In addition, the main control circuit will also monitor the temperature inside the chassis and the working state of the devices.
[0061] Embodiment 2
[0062] This embodiment provides a control method for a relay station that digitally locks an optical fiber link and real-time monitors phase noise, including the following steps:
[0063] When the optical fiber link is unlocked, the optical fiber link is automatically locked based on the link locking circuit using the link automatic locking algorithm;
[0064] After the optical fiber link is automatically locked, use the phase noise analysis and calculation method to check whether the signal noise of the optical fiber link after using the link automatic locking algorithm reaches the noise suppression limit.
[0065] The principle of suppressing the phase noise of the optical fiber link is that the reference arm of the local signal transmitter and the transmission link form an unequal-arm Michelson interferometer. In this interferometer, the optical signal (frequency f) is divided into two paths: one path is transmitted to the receiver through the optical fiber link (frequency f1), and the other path remains at the transmitter as the reference light.
[0066] The optical signal f is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver through the optical fiber link f1. At the receiver, part of the transmitted light is reflected by the Faraday mirror and returns to the transmitter along the original optical fiber line. This returned optical signal has experienced two transmissions of the optical fiber link, so its frequency becomes f + 2×f1, where 2×f1 is the phase noise introduced by the optical fiber link.
[0067] At the transmitter, the returned optical signal (frequency f + 2×f1) and the reference light (frequency f) are subjected to beat frequency detection. This beat frequency process generates a signal with a frequency of 2×f1, which represents the phase noise on the double-pass optical fiber link. To suppress this noise, the transmitter uses an acousto-optic phase modulator to generate a modulation signal with a phase opposite to the noise (frequency -2×f1).
[0068] By controlling the acousto-optic phase modulator, the modulation signal generated by it is made to completely cancel the phase noise on the optical fiber link. In this way, the optical signal obtained at the receiving end only has the original frequency f and no longer contains the phase noise introduced by the optical fiber link.
[0069] The core of the whole principle lies in ensuring that after the signal light is transmitted through a hundred-kilometer optical fiber, its line width and phase will not be lost, realizing high-precision transmission.
[0070] As Figure 3 shown, the method for analyzing the phase noise power spectrum density includes the following steps:
[0071] Store the phase error signal obtained by phase discrimination of the coordinate rotation digital computing device in the variable ;
[0072] Phase discrimination uses the CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) algorithm to identify the phase value of a signal at each moment. The principle of CORDIC is to make the accumulated rotated angle infinitely close to the target angle through an iterative method. It is a method of numerical calculation approximation. Thus, the phase angle value can be obtained, which is the phase error signal.
[0073] Apply the Hamming window function to prevent spectral leakage. By introducing smooth transitions at the beginning and end of the signal, discontinuities are reduced. Applying the Hamming window function to the link phase error signal can reduce the sidelobes in the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) result, thereby improving the accuracy of spectral estimation.
[0074] The Hamming window function is:
[0075]
[0076] where is the value of the Hamming window at the m-th sampling point, is a constant, , N is the window length, and π is a mathematical constant;
[0077] The result of the Hamming window function of the variable is:
[0078]
[0079] where is the result of the Hamming window function of the variable, is the variable, is the Hamming window function.
[0080] Select the number of sampling points \(n\) for FFT. \(n\) is the recording length of the discrete-time signal. Here, \(n\) is a power of 2 and \(n = 1024\).
[0081] Calculate the fast Fourier transform of, and obtain ;
[0082] Calculate the power spectral density:
[0083]
[0084] where is the result of the fast Fourier transform, \(f\) is the sampling frequency, \(n\) is the number of sampling points, \(n = 1024\), is the symmetric two-sided spectrum, and abs is the modulus length;
[0085] Subsequently, perform unilateral correction to obtain , that is, only display the unilateral power spectral density;
[0086] As Figure 4 shown, display the result on the host computer interface according to the frequency range and the amplitude range of the power spectral density. Figure 4 In, PSD represents Power Spectral Density, that is, power spectral density, Frequency represents frequency, the \(e\) in \(1e + 01\), \(1e + 02\), \(1e + 03\) represents the base of the natural logarithm, dBc / Hz represents the ratio of the phase noise within each hertz bandwidth to the carrier power, dBc represents the ratio of the power at this frequency in dB to the total power (or carrier power), and Hz represents the frequency unit.
[0087] As Figure 5 shown, the link automatic locking algorithm includes the following steps:
[0088] 1. Observe the link phase error signal on the control panel of the main control circuit and determine whether the phase error signal is within the first locking interval \([-a, a]\). If it is within the interval, it indicates that the phase error is small and perhaps no additional adjustment is needed, then proceed to step 3; if it is not within the interval, it indicates that the phase error is large and measures need to be taken to reduce the error, then proceed to step 2;
[0089] 2. The main control circuit sends a command to control the activation of the tracking amplitude stabilization filter. After the filter is activated, determine again whether the link phase error signal is within the first locking interval \([-a, a]\). If it is within the interval, it indicates that the filter is effective, then proceed to step 3;
[0090] The tracking amplitude stabilization filter is arranged between the main control circuit and the link locking circuit and is used to preprocess the signal to reduce the phase error;
[0091] 3. Send commands from the main control circuit to write the proportional parameter P = 100, integral parameter I = 700, and derivative parameter D = 10 into the link locking circuit; these parameters are the parameters of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, which are used to adjust the behavior of the link locking circuit to further reduce the phase error.
[0092] 4. Determine again whether the link phase error signal is within the second locking interval [-b, b] (b < a). At this time, the error signal appears as a straight line (or very close to a straight line), indicating that the phase error has been stabilized within a very small range. If the phase error signal is within the second locking interval, it means that the link has been locked and the algorithm terminates.
[0093] The link automatic locking algorithm can automatically adjust the PID parameters according to the phase error signal to achieve fast and stable locking of the link. In the case of link unlocking, the link automatic locking algorithm can achieve automatic locking of the link, which is of great significance for long-term testing.
