Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310250628.2, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on June 21, 2013 and entitled "OPTICAL PATH PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS".TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to optical fiber network technologies, and in particular, to an optical path processing method and apparatus.BACKGROUND

[0003] As an access network involves a large quantity of end users and complexly distributed optical link branches, and an all-fiber passive network is used for an entire network, how to implement appropriate monitoring and maintenance on optical links becomes a technical problem that needs to be urgently resolved by an operator. Currently, a monitoring system of an operator mainly uses an optical time domain reflectometer (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, OTDR for short) to test a link. A relatively mainstream manner of the testing is: using a 1×N optical switch and a dense wavelength division multiplexer (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer, DWDM for short) to access N access ends. Specifically, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a principle of a monitoring system in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring system may be placed in a central office optical distribution frame (Optical Distribution Frame, ODF for short), and monitors multiple passive optical networks (Passive Optical Network, PON for short), where the PONs include an optical line terminal (Optical Line Terminal, OLT for short), and the monitoring system includes an OTDR 11, a 1×N optical switch 12, and N WDMs 13. An operating principle of the monitoring system is as follows: The OTDR 11 is connected to an input end of the 1×N optical switch 12; after the OTDR 11 inputs OTDR test light to the 1×N optical switch 12 by using the input end of the 1×N optical switch 12, the OTDR test light may be switched to a particular output channel by using a control system; then, by using a WDM 13 corresponding to the particular output channel, the OTDR test light is coupled to a corresponding PON, and is transmitted downstream to an ONU to generate backscattering, where backscattered light coupled to the PON is transmitted upstream to the WDM 13 and is returned to the OTDR 11.

[0004] However, each output end of a 1×N optical switch needs one WDM, and therefore, when a large-split ratio optical switch is used, costs of the monitoring system and difficulty in managing a fiber patch cord between the optical switch and a WDM may be increased. In addition, space pressure on an equipment room whose space resource is already tight is also increased.

[0005] CN 102 369 679 A describes multi-channel optical assembly that comprises a light channel array, a first light gathering element, a filtering device and a light path transforming device; wherein the light channel array comprises a plurality of first light channel mediums, a plurality of second light channel mediums and third light channel mediums, and the N is an integer greater than 1. A first light signal passing through at least one first light channel medium of the first light gathering element is gathered to a first position, a second light signal comes from the third light channel medium is transmitted to the light path transforming device, and a third light signal returned by the light path transforming device is transmitted and outputted to the first light gathering element.SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0021] FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an optical path processing apparatus according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the optical path processing apparatus in this embodiment may be an optical switch, where the optical switch includes a fiber array (Fiber Array, FA for short) 21, a lens array (Lens Array, LA for short) 22, an aspheric lens 23, a filter 24, and a reflector 25. The FA 21 includes a test optical channel 211, where the test optical channel 211 is configured to receive test light, and enable the test light to be incident through the LA 22 and the aspheric lens 23 to a surface of the filter 24. The filter 24 is located between the aspheric lens 23 and the reflector 25, and is configured to perform transmission on the test light. The reflector 25 is at a distance of less than or equal to a first preset value away from a focus of light transmitted through the aspheric lens 23, and is configured to reflect, at a preset angle, the test light transmitted through the filter 24 to a specular surface of the reflector 25, so that reflected light corresponding to the test light passes through the filter 24, the aspheric lens 23 and the LA 22, and is output through a particular channel.

[0022] The test light is OTDR test light, where the OTDR test light is within a transmission band whose range is 1610 nm to 1675 nm. The first preset value is 1mm.

As shown in FIG. 3, the test light is input through the test optical channel 211, and the test light is incident through the LA 22 and the aspheric lens 23 to the surface of the filter 24 and is transmitted through the filter 24. The reflector 25 is placed less than or equal to 1mm behind a focus f2 corresponding to a wavelength of the test light. After the test light is incident to the specular surface of the reflector 25, the reflector 25 reflects the test light at the preset angle. The reflected light corresponding to the test light passes through the filter 24, the aspheric lens 23 and the LA 22, and is output through the particular channel of the FA. It should be noted that, for a same lens (a lens may be a spherical lens or an aspheric lens), after different bands are incident, a focus shift occurs. A focus of light with a short wavelength is located before a focus of light with a long wavelength.

[0024] In this embodiment, test light is received by using a test optical channel, and is incident through an LA and an aspheric lens to a surface of the filter; the filter then transmits the test light to a reflector located behind the filter; and the reflector then reflects, at a preset angle, the test light transmitted to a specular surface of the reflector, so that reflected light corresponding to the test light passes through the filter, the aspheric lens and the LA, and is output through a particular channel, where a distance between the reflector and a focus of light transmitted through the aspheric lens is less than or equal to a first preset value.
