Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of time synchronization, and in particular to a dual-fiber bidirectional asymmetric optical fiber timing method and device. Background Art

[0002] Fiber-optic timing technology often uses an exclusive optical fiber method. In this case, single-fiber bidirectional transmission does not need to consider the issue of fiber asymmetry. However, the existing fiber-optic transmission network is dual-fiber bidirectional. Generally, the round-trip optical fibers are of unequal lengths, that is, the round-trip optical fibers are asymmetric. Since the optical transmission network is equipped with amplifiers, ODTR technology cannot be used to measure the length of a single-pass optical fiber. Instead, it uses the characteristic that optical fiber dispersion changes with distance. By measuring the difference ΔD in the dispersion values ​​of two or more wavelengths after passing through an optical fiber of length L, the fiber length can be calculated. In the invention patent application number CN201610270697.3, entitled "Method for Measuring Transmission Delay of Asymmetric Fiber Links," a method for measuring transmission delay of asymmetric fiber links using dispersion effects is described in detail. However, this method has the following problems: 1) Before synchronization, the master and slave devices have different time bases. Therefore, the time difference caused by dispersion cannot be directly calculated by subtracting the slave time from the master time. 2) Dispersion is measured in nanoseconds, while the dispersion difference is on the order of picoseconds. Conventional clocks, such as high-precision crystal oscillators, drift very quickly, so the measurement process cannot be too long. The above-mentioned patent uses a method of first sending a fiber signal with a preset wavelength for measurement, and then sending a fiber signal with a different wavelength for measurement. The time in between often causes clock drift to affect the dispersion time measurement. 3) The use of IEEE1588v2 technology to measure dispersion is impractical because the typical timing error of IEEE 1588v2 is tens of nanoseconds, far exceeding the dispersion value.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, a dual-fiber bidirectional asymmetric optical fiber timing method and device are urgently needed to solve them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a dual-fiber bidirectional asymmetric optical fiber timing method, comprising:

[0005] Use the first method to calculate the uplink optical fiber length from the master device to the slave device:

[0006] The signal source in the master station device generates a first pulse-per-second electrical signal, which is modulated into two optical signals after electro-optical conversion. The two optical signals have different wavelengths and are respectively recorded as a first optical signal and a second optical signal;

[0007] The two optical signals are combined to obtain an optical signal, which is input into an optical fiber for transmission to the slave station device; the slave station device receives the optical signal transmitted from the optical fiber and performs wavelength demultiplexing to obtain the first optical signal and the second optical signal; the first optical signal is subjected to photoelectric conversion to obtain a first electrical signal; the second optical signal is subjected to photoelectric conversion to obtain a second electrical signal; the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal are input into a high-precision TIC, and a corresponding first time delay is output;

[0115] Furthermore, the preset technology is ODTR technology.

[0116] The specific embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0117] The signal source 201 in the master station generates a pulse-per-second signal. Two electro-optical converters 202 modulate the pulse-per-second signal into optical signals with wavelengths λ1 and λ2, respectively. The two optical signals are combined by a combiner 203 to produce a single optical signal, which is then input into an optical fiber for transmission. After receiving the optical signal, the slave station demultiplexes it by a demultiplexer 204 to produce optical signals with wavelengths λ1 and λ2. Due to chromatic dispersion, the electrical signals carried by the optical signals λ1 and λ2 are already delayed. The two optical signals with wavelengths λ1 and λ2 are then photoelectrically converted by an electro-optical converter 205 to produce first and second electrical signals. These signals are then fed into a high-precision time interval counter (TIC) for precise time delay measurement. Since the first and second electrical signals are generated simultaneously at the master station, their delay is zero at the master station. Therefore, the high-precision TIC can directly read the time delay of the first and second electrical signals.

[0118] The time when the first optical signal arrives at the slave device is T S1 , the wavelength is λ1, the dispersion is D1, then we have:

[0119] T S1=D1×L d ×λ1

[0120] The time when the second optical signal arrives at the slave device is T S2 , the wavelength is λ2, the dispersion is D2, then:

[0121] T S2 =D2×L d ×λ2

[0122] Thus T S2 ―T S1 =L d ×(D2λ2―D1λ1), which is:

[0123]

[0124] Among them, (T S2 ―T S1 ) can be accurately read out by high-precision TIC, and the wavelength and dispersion of the first optical signal and the second optical signal can be obtained by measurement, so the uplink optical fiber length from the master station device to the slave station device can be calculated;

[0125] Similarly, the time when the third optical signal arrives at the master station device is T m1 , the wavelength is λ3, the dispersion is D3, then we have:

[0126] T m1 =D3×L u ×λ3

[0127] The time when the fourth optical signal arrives at the master station device is T m2 , the wavelength is λ4, the dispersion is D4, then:

[0128] T m2 =D4×L u ×λ4

[0129] Thus (T m2 ―T m1 )=L u ×(D4λ4―D3λ3), which is:

[0130]

[0131] Among them, (T m2 ―T m1 ) can be accurately read out by high-precision TIC, and the wavelength and dispersion of the third optical signal and the fourth optical signal can be obtained by measurement, so the downlink optical fiber length from the master station device to the slave station device can be calculated.

[0132] Use ODTR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) technology to calculate the total length of the upstream and downstream optical fibers between the master station and the slave station, which is recorded as Lt , and then use the following formula to improve the accuracy of the upstream fiber length and the downstream fiber length, including:

[0133]

[0134] L′ d The adjusted uplink optical fiber length from the master device to the slave device;

[0135]

[0136] L′ u The adjusted downlink optical fiber length from the master device to the slave device.

[0137] When L′ is obtained d or L′ u Then, the delay compensation amount is calculated using the following formula, including:

[0138]

[0139] ΔT s The delay compensation amount for sending signals from the master device to the slave device, n is the refractive index of the signal in the optical fiber, and c is the speed of light;

[0140]

[0141] ΔT m The delay compensation amount for the slave device to send signals to the master device.

[0142] Finally, the delay compensation amount calculated by the above formula is used to perform delay compensation, thereby achieving high-precision dual-fiber bidirectional asymmetric optical fiber timing.
