[0036] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments based on the embodiments are intended to be used to explain the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0037] References to "one embodiment" or "an example" or "an example" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment itself may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in the present application. The appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0038] In optical fiber sensing technology, spectroscopic optical signal sensors or tunable filter optical signal sensors are usually used to measure the wavelength and amplitude changes of optical signals transmitted in optical fibers. These two types of optical signal sensors have many disadvantages, such as the inability to achieve real-time monitoring of optical signals, slow spectral scanning rate, slow modulation rate, and low resolution.

[0039] Currently, there is an optical signal sensor that adopts a chip-type design and takes into account the polarization sensitivity of the optical waveguide chip. The optical signal is first passed through a spectral perturbation structure, which simultaneously perturbs the optical components of the optical signal in two different polarization states (i.e., TE polarized light and TM polarized light). A polarization beam splitter cascaded after the spectral perturbation structure is then used to separate the TE polarized light and the TM polarized light and send them to corresponding photodetectors respectively. The photodetector obtains electrical signals of different polarization components and sends them to a signal processor. The signal processor obtains the spectra of different polarized lights to reconstruct the spectrum of the input optical signal, thereby realizing the measurement of the input optical signal.

[0040] The inventors of the present application have found that although the above-mentioned optical signal sensor has made great progress in many aspects such as achieving real-time monitoring of optical signals, improving spectral scanning rate, improving modulation rate, and improving resolution, the actual spectral measurement effect is still poor.

[0041] In this regard, the inventors of the present application proposed after research that the reason why the above-mentioned optical signal sensor has a poor spectral measurement effect is that it requires a spectral perturbation structure to have good perturbation quality for both TE polarized light and TM polarized light. However, the refractive index difference between TE polarized light and TM polarized light is large. When actually designing a spectral perturbation structure, it is difficult to take into account both the perturbation quality for TE polarized light and the perturbation quality for TM polarized light, resulting in a situation where the perturbation quality for one polarized light is good but the perturbation quality for another polarized light is poor.

[0042] The inventor of the present application further proposed that two input optical signals of different polarization states are separated by using a polarization separation rotator, and then the two polarized light signals obtained after separation are respectively input into two spectral perturbation chips. In this way, the two spectral perturbation chips can independently perform perturbation processing on the polarized light signals passing through themselves, and there is no need to consider how to balance the perturbation quality for TE polarized light and the perturbation quality for TM polarized light. Subsequently, the two perturbation light signals obtained by the two spectral perturbation chips are respectively input into two photodetectors, and the two photodetectors respectively detect the electrical signals corresponding to the two polarization state light signals after perturbation. Finally, the signal processor can obtain the optical signal measurement result according to the two electrical signals, which improves the spectral measurement effect while greatly saving the design cost of the spectral perturbation chip.

[0043] As a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a method for measuring an optical signal is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0044] Step S110, inputting the optical signal to be measured into a pre-built optical signal sensor to obtain the optical signal measurement result output by the optical signal sensor; wherein the optical signal sensor includes a polarization separation rotator PBRS, two spectral perturbation chips, two photodetectors and a signal processor, the polarization separation rotator PBRS performs polarization state separation processing on the input optical signal to be measured to obtain two polarized light signals, the two spectral perturbation chips respectively perform perturbation processing on the two polarized light signals to obtain two perturbed light signals, the two photodetectors respectively detect the two perturbed light signals to obtain two electrical signals, and the signal processor outputs the optical signal measurement result according to the two electrical signals.

[0045] like Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of an optical signal sensor provided in an embodiment of the present application, the optical signal sensor includes a polarization separation rotator PBRS, two spectrum perturbation chips, two photodetectors and a signal processor.

[0046] When using the optical signal sensor, the optical signal in the optical communication link (such as optical fiber) is input as the optical signal to be measured into the polarization separation rotator PBRS. The polarization separation rotator PBRS performs polarization state separation processing on the input optical signal to be measured to obtain two polarized light signals, one of which is input into one of the spectrum perturbation chips, and the other is input into the other spectrum perturbation chip. The two spectrum perturbation chips respectively perform perturbation processing on the polarized light signals passing through themselves to obtain two perturbed light signals, one of which is input into one of the photodetectors, and the other is input into the other photodetector. The two photodetectors respectively detect the perturbed light signals passing through themselves to obtain two electrical signals, and the two electrical signals are input into the signal processor. The signal processor outputs the optical signal measurement results according to the two electrical signals.

[0047] It is understandable that the polarization splitter rotator PBRS, the spectrum perturbation chip, and the photodetector may include an optical waveguide (or optical input / output port) for transmitting optical signals between each other, but the embodiments of the present application are not described in detail. As a preferred embodiment, the optical input port of the spectrum perturbation chip can use a single-mode waveguide, which can be efficiently coupled with the single-mode optical fiber used in the optical communication link.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, there is no particular limitation on the type of spectrum perturbation chip. As a preferred embodiment, the spectrum perturbation chip can be a planar optical waveguide chip. In the embodiments of the present application, there is no particular limitation on the waveguide material in the spectrum perturbation chip. For example, the waveguide can include silicon nitride waveguide, silicon waveguide, silicon oxide waveguide, thin film lithium niobate waveguide, polymer waveguide, etc.

[0049] The disturbance processing of the spectral perturbation chip refers to adjusting the power distribution of the polarized light signal in the frequency domain. As the number of disturbances increases, the multiple disturbance light signals obtained are highly uncorrelated, which is beneficial for the photoelectric detector and the signal processor to perform spectral reconstruction on the measured light signal to obtain the light signal measurement result. The embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated here.

[0050] The optical signal measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application pre-constructs an optical signal sensor including a polarization separation rotator PBRS, two spectral perturbation chips, two photodetectors and a signal processor, and inputs the optical signal to be measured into the pre-constructed optical signal sensor, wherein the polarization separation rotator separates the optical signals to be measured of two different polarization states, and then the two polarized light signals obtained after separation are respectively input into the two spectral perturbation chips, so that the two spectral perturbation chips can independently perform perturbation processing on the polarized light signals passing through themselves, and there is no need to consider how to balance the perturbation quality for TE polarized light and the perturbation quality for TM polarized light. Subsequently, the two perturbed light signals obtained by the two spectral perturbation chips are respectively input into the two photodetectors, and the two photodetectors respectively detect the electrical signals corresponding to the two polarization state light signals after perturbation, and finally the signal processor obtains the optical signal measurement result according to the two electrical signals, which improves the spectral measurement effect while greatly saving the design cost of the spectral perturbation chip.

[0051] The inventors of the present application further proposed that the polarization separation rotator PBRS separates the input optical signal to be measured into two polarized light signals, and converts one of the polarized light signals into an optical signal of another polarization state so that the two polarized light signals obtained belong to the same polarization state. It is possible to design a spectral perturbation chip only for one of the polarization states, which can further save the design cost of the spectral perturbation chip.

[0052] Accordingly, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the polarization separation rotator PBRS performs polarization state separation processing on the input optical signal to be measured to obtain two polarized light signals, which may include:

[0053] Step S210, the polarization separation rotator PBRS separates the input optical signal to be measured according to different polarization states to obtain a separated optical signal of a first polarization state and a separated optical signal of a second polarization state, and performs polarization state conversion on the separated optical signal of the second polarization state to obtain a converted optical signal of a first polarization state; wherein the two polarized optical signals include the separated optical signal of the first polarization state and the converted optical signal of the first polarization state.

[0054] The inventor of the present application further proposes that, as a preferred implementation that is easier to implement, the first polarization state includes a TE polarization state, and the second polarization state includes a TM polarization state.

[0055] The inventor of the present application further proposes that by cascading multiple active tunable spectrum perturbation units and providing a phase modulator on each active tunable spectrum perturbation unit as a spectrum perturbation chip, the phase modulator is controlled by a control signal of a signal processor to tune the phase of the optical signal passing through the active tunable spectrum perturbation unit where the optical signal is located, so that different disturbances can be generated on the optical signal in timing. In this way, the spectrum perturbation chip can obtain different output optical signals (i.e., perturbed optical signals) for different input optical signals (i.e., polarized optical signals) in timing.

[0056] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the spectrum perturbation chip includes a plurality of cascaded active tunable spectrum perturbation units and a phase modulator disposed on each of the active tunable spectrum perturbation units, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two spectrum perturbation chips respectively perform perturbation processing on the two polarized light signals to obtain two perturbation light signals may include:

[0057] In step S310, each phase modulator, under the control of the signal processor, tunes the phase of the optical signal passing through its own active tunable spectrum perturbation unit, so that the last active tunable spectrum perturbation unit cascaded in the spectrum perturbation chip outputs a perturbed optical signal.

[0058] like Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of a spectrum perturbation chip provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the spectrum perturbation chip comprises a plurality of cascaded active tunable spectrum perturbation units, each of which is further provided with a phase modulator ( Figure 5 not shown).

[0059] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no special limitation on the number of phase modulators provided on each active tunable spectrum perturbation unit, and the number can be 1 or 2.

[0060] The inventor of the present application further proposes that all types of the multiple active tunable spectrum perturbation units cascaded in the spectrum perturbation chip can be any one of the following or a combination thereof: a microring resonant cavity structure, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Figure 6a , Figure 6b , Figure 6c Schematic diagrams of three different implementations of the spectrum perturbation chip provided in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 6a As shown in FIG. 1 , four MZIs are cascaded in the spectrum perturbation chip, and two phase modulation structures (i.e., phase modulators) are arranged on each MZI. Figure 6bAs shown, the spectrum perturbation chip cascades one MZI and three micro-ring resonant cavity structures, two phase modulation structures (i.e., phase modulators) are arranged on each MZI, and one phase modulation structure (i.e., phase modulator) is arranged on each micro-ring resonant cavity structure. Figure 6c As shown, four micro-ring resonant cavity structures are cascaded in the spectrum perturbation chip, and a phase modulation structure (ie, phase modulator) is arranged on each micro-ring resonant cavity structure.

[0061] Understandably, Figure 6a , Figure 6b , Figure 6c Four active tunable spectral perturbation units (either MZI or microring resonant cavity structure) are shown in the figure, but they are all exemplary descriptions. The number of active tunable spectral perturbation units cascaded in the spectral perturbation chip in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0067] In some embodiments, the processor 101 , the memory 102 , and the I / O interface 103 are connected to each other via a bus 104 , and further connected to other components of the computing device.
