Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) components, manufacturing methods, and communications devices. [Background technology]
[0002] Optical fiber communication is a common communication technology. For example, in wireless communication systems, optical fiber communication is widely applied between base stations, between core networks and base stations, between core network devices, and between baseband units and radio units of base stations.
[0003] Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology used to combine multiple optical signals of different wavelengths through a multiplexer and then couple the signals into the same optical fiber for data transmission.
[0004] A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is an optical module that can implement optical-electrical conversion, i.e., modulate an electrical signal into a light wave to obtain an optical signal, and / or demodulate an optical signal to obtain an electrical signal. A single-channel single-wavelength optical signal output by the SFP or input into the SFP is carried on an optical fiber for transmission. To improve the transmission efficiency, through WDM, the single-fiber single-wavelength signal output by the SFP and the single-fiber single-wavelength signal input into the SFP can be combined into a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal for transmission.
[0005] Currently, industrial applications of dual small form-factor pluggable (DSFP) are being implemented due to the advantages of dual channel interface and the same encapsulation style as small form-factor pluggable SFP. Although limited by the optical fiber density that can be supported by the SFP encapsulation style, DSFP can currently support dual channel single fiber bidirectional optical signaling, i.e. BiDi (bidirectional) optical signaling.

For example, by way of example and not limitation, the access network device may be a gNB, a transmission reception point (TRP), an evolved NodeB (eNB), a radio network controller (RNC), a NodeB (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (e.g., a home evolved NodeB or home NodeB, HNB), a baseband unit (BBU), a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) access point (AP), etc. In a network structure, the access network device may include a RAN device including a central unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, or may be a RAN device including a CU control plane node (CU-CP node), a CU user plane node (CU-UP node), and a DU node.
[0080] An access network device provides services to a cell. A terminal device communicates with the access network device by using a transmission resource (e.g., a frequency domain resource, in other words, a spectrum resource) used for the cell. A cell may be a cell corresponding to an access network device (e.g., a base station), and a cell may belong to a macro base station or a base station corresponding to a small cell. A small cell in this specification may include a metro cell, a micro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, etc. These small cells have characteristics of small coverage and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-rate data transmission services.
[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the core network device is a device in a core network (CN) that provides service support to a terminal device. Currently, some examples of core network devices are an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, a session management function (SMF) entity, a user plane function (UPF) entity, etc., which are not described one by one in this specification. For example, the AMF entity may be responsible for the access management and mobility management of the terminal. The SMF entity may be responsible for session management, such as user session establishment. The UPF entity may be a functional entity on the user plane, and is mainly responsible for connecting to an external network.
[0082] It should be noted that entities in this application may also be referred to as network elements or functional entities. For example, an AMF entity may also be referred to as an AMF network element or an AMF functional entity. In another example, an SMF entity may also be referred to as an SMF network element, an SMF functional entity, etc.
[0083] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application may be applied to optical fiber communications in a communication system, including, but not limited to, optical fiber communications between access network devices, optical fiber communications between access network devices and core network devices, optical fiber communications between CU nodes and DU nodes, optical fiber communications between core network devices, optical fiber communications between BBUs of access network devices and radio units (RUs), etc.
[0084] Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that combines multiple optical signals of different wavelengths through a multiplexer and couples this signal into the same optical fiber for data transmission. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is used to combine optical carrier signals of two or more wavelengths (carrying various information) at the transmitting end through a multiplexer and couple this signal into the same optical fiber of an optical line for transmission. At the receiving end, the optical carriers of different wavelengths are separated through a demultiplexer and then processed by an optical receiver to restore the original signal. WDM is characterized by high capacity, long distance, and low cost. High capacity means that the light in the optical fiber is composed of multiple wavelengths, and each of the wavelengths can carry different information independently. In this way, more information can be transmitted. Long distance means that the optical transmission loss is much lower than the electrical transmission loss. Low cost means that the cost of manufacturing optical fiber is low. WDM can be classified into dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM). In DWDM systems, the spacing between wavelengths is small, for example 0.8 nm, 0.4 nm, or 0.2 nm. In CWDM systems, the spacing between wavelengths is large, for example 20 nm. Currently, DWDM is mainstream. The amount of optical wavelengths that can be used for transmission in a single fiber is 32, 40, 80, 96, 106, or 160. Currently, 40-wavelength and 80-wavelength systems are mostly used.
[0085] A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is an optical module that can implement optical-electrical conversion, i.e., modulate an electrical signal into a light wave to obtain an optical signal, and / or demodulate the electrical signal from the optical signal. A single-channel single-wavelength optical signal output by the SFP or input into the SFP is carried on an optical fiber for transmission. To improve the transmission efficiency, through WDM, the single-fiber single-wavelength signal output by the SFP and the single-fiber single-wavelength signal input into the SFP can be combined into a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal for transmission.
[0086] Currently, industrial applications of dual small form-factor pluggable (DSFP) are being implemented due to the advantages of dual channel interface and the same encapsulation style as small form-factor pluggable (SFP). Although limited by the optical fiber density supported by the SFP encapsulation style, DSFP currently supports dual channel single fiber bidirectional optical signaling, i.e. BiDi (bidirectional) optical signaling.
[0087] FIG. 1 is a diagram of a WDM structure connected with BiDi-DSFP. In this figure, an example is used in which there is a three-channel BiDi-DSFP. The three-channel BiDi-DSFP component processes signals of wavelengths λ1 to λ6 of six channels. CWDM is used as an example. For example, the wavelengths λ1 to λ6 are 1270 nm, 1290 nm, 1310 nm, 1330 nm, 1350 nm and 1370 nm. Each BiDi-DSFP component of a channel processes signals of two channels having two wavelengths. For example, both signals of the two channels processed by the BiDi-DSFP of the first channel include λ1 and λ4, both signals of the two channels processed by the BiDi-DSFP of the second channel include λ2 and λ5, and both signals of the two channels processed by the BiDi-DSFP of the third channel include λ3 and λ6. In order to combine six channel signals each having two wavelengths processed by a three channel BiDi-DSFP component into two channel signals each having six wavelengths, the WDM structure shown in FIG. 1 uses six 1×2 WDM components and two 1×6 WDM components, and the three 1×2 WDM components obtain six signals processed by one 1×6 WDM component, and the six signals each have wavelengths from λ1 to λ6. The arrows in the accompanying drawings of this application indicate light wave combining, but may be understood not to represent the transmission direction of the signals carried by the light waves. The signals carried by the light waves may be in the same direction, or some signals may be opposite to other signals. For example, the signals carried by λ1 and λ4 may be opposite. This is not limited in this specification.
[0088] It can be seen that in the solution of FIG. 1, multiple WDM components are required to form a WDM structure. For example, in addition to two 1×6 WDM components, six 1×2 WDM components are also required. In this case, the cost is high, the link insertion loss is large, the link configuration is complicated, and the manual configuration cost is increased. However, in the current WDM components, a single WDM component does not support multiple channel single fiber multi-wavelength optical signals (also called multiple path single fiber multi-wavelength optical signals or multiple single fiber multi-wavelength optical signals), for example, multiple channel (also called dual path) single fiber multi-directional optical signals of DSFP.
[0089] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide multiple WDM components so that a single WDM component can support multiple-channel single-fiber multi-wavelength optical signal multiplexing processing. Multiplexing processing and demultiplexing processing may be understood as two inverse processing. The WDM components provided in the embodiments of the present application can also support demultiplexing processing, which splits a single-fiber multi-wavelength optical signal into multiple-channel single-fiber multi-wavelength optical signals. In the following embodiments, only multiplexing processing is used as an example for explanation, and demultiplexing processing can be obtained by reversing the multiplexing processing. Details will not be described again. By using the WDM components provided in the embodiments of the present application, optical signal processing costs, link insertion losses, and link configuration complexity are reduced. Thus, manual configuration costs are reduced.
[0090] FIG. 2 is a diagram of a structure of a WDM component according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0091] WDM components use band-stop filters, which reflect only wavelengths within a specific range and transmit wavelengths outside this specific range.
[0092] FIG. 2 is explained by using an example where a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal processed by a WDM component contains N channels, each of which contains M wavelengths, with an offset of N wavelengths between any two wavelengths in the M wavelengths. Through the multiplexing process of the WDM component, M*N A single-fiber multi-wavelength signal can be obtained having wavelengths of M=N, M=M, N=N, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
[0093] For example, when the WDM component implements CWDM, a three channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal may be included, and the wavelengths included by the three channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal are λ1 and λ4, λ2 and λ5, and λ3 and λ6, respectively.
[0094] The WDM components are: a first input port group 103, the first input port group including N first input ports 1003; N bandstop filter groups 101, each of the N bandstop filter groups 101 including M bandstop filters 1001; a first low-pass or high-pass filter group 102 including M low-pass or high-pass filters 1002, each of which may be a low-pass or high-pass filter, but is not limited herein; A first common port 104 and may include.
[0095] The M wavelengths contained in each single-fiber, multi-wavelength signal of a channel are respectively within the stopband ranges of the M band-stop filters 1001 for processing the single-fiber, multi-wavelength signal. In this way, by passing through the M band-stop filters 1001 successively, the single-fiber, multi-wavelength signal of a channel can be split into M single-wavelength signals of the channel.
[0096] The M band-stop filters 1001 in the band-stop filter group of the N channels are also arranged correspondingly. Specifically, the single-wavelength signal of one channel obtained through splitting the single-fiber multi-wavelength signal of each of the channels passes through the corresponding band-stop filter 1001 in another band-stop filter group to obtain a signal of one channel having N wavelengths. For example, a single-channel single-wavelength signal, e.g., λ1, obtained through splitting a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal of a first channel, passes through a band-stop filter 1001 in a band-stop filter group of a second channel and is combined with a single-channel single-wavelength signal, e.g., λ2, obtained through splitting a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal of the second channel to obtain a single-channel multi-wavelength signal, e.g., λ1 and λ2, and then passes through a band-stop filter 1001 in a band-stop filter group of a third channel and is combined with a single-channel single-wavelength signal, e.g., λ3, obtained through splitting a single-fiber multi-wavelength signal of the third channel to obtain a single-channel multi-wavelength signal, e.g., λ1, λ2, and λ3. The rest can be deduced by analogy. In this way, N wavelengths, e.g., λ1 to λ3, are combined with the single-channel single-wavelength signal, e.g., λ1 to λ3, to obtain a single-channel multi-wavelength signal, e.g., λ1, λ2, and λ3. N In this way, M channel signals each having N wavelengths are obtained.
[0097] The M low-pass or high-pass filters 1002 in the first low-pass or high-pass filter group 102 are also arranged corresponding to the M band-stop filters 1001 in each band-stop filter group of the channel, to successively reflect the input light wave to the next low-pass or high-pass filter 1002 to obtain a single-channel signal having M*N wavelengths, and input the single-channel signal having M*N wavelengths to the first common port 104.
[0098] Optionally, in the WDM component shown in FIG. 2 , the first low-pass or high-pass filter 1002-1 in the first low-pass or high-pass filter group 101, i.e. the first low-pass or high-pass filter corresponding to the band-stop filter from which the first single-wavelength signal is obtained through splitting in the M band-stop filters 1001 of each of the channels, is a total reflector.
[0099] By using the WDM component shown in Figure 2, a single WDM component can combine multiple channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signals into a single channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal. This reduces optical signal processing costs, link insertion losses, and link configuration complexity. Thus, manual configuration costs are reduced.
[0100] The amount of wavelengths included in the single-fiber, multi-wavelength signal of N channels processed by the WDM component in this embodiment of the present application may be determined separately. In other words, the amount of wavelengths may be the same or different, and the wavelength values included in the single-fiber, multi-wavelength signal of N channels may also be determined separately. For example, the amount of wavelengths and the wavelength values may be determined based on system setting requirements, which are not limited in this specification.
[0101] Therefore, based on the principle of the WDM building block of FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application may provide a more general WDM building block.

[0107] The W second band-stop filters in the second band-stop filter group are 1,1 From signal M 1,X1 The single-wavelength signals of X1 channels are respectively represented as signals N 1,1 From signal N 1,Y1 This is combined with the Y1 channel single wavelength signal to obtain the W1 channel multi-wavelength signal T 1,t1=1…W1 where W1 is the greater of X1 and Y1. When X1 is greater than Y1, the W1 second bandstop filters include the Y1 second bandstop filters. When X1 is less than Y1, the W1 second bandstop filters are part of the Y1 second bandstop filters. When X1 is equal to Y1, the W1 second bandstop filters are the Y1 second bandstop filters. The j1th second bandstop filter among the Y1 second bandstop filters is a j1th second bandstop filter of the signal M input to the j1th second bandstop filter. 1,i1 and transmit the multi-wavelength signal T 1,t1 The multi-wavelength signal T 1,t1 is the Eth 1,i1 and F 1,j1t1 is an integer ranging from 1 to W1.
[0108] The first low-pass or high-pass filter group includes Z1 first low-pass or high-pass filters, and the multi-wavelength signal P 1,k1=1…Z1 to obtain a single-channel multi-wavelength output signal Q1. 1,k1=1…Z1 A multi-wavelength signal P with W1 channels in 1,t1=1…W1 The multi-wavelength signal P of the t1st channel in 1,t1 is the multi-wavelength signal T with W1 channels. 1,t1=1…W1 The multi-wavelength signal T of the t1st channel in 1,t1 The Z1 first low-pass or high-pass filters include W1 first low-pass or high-pass filters. 1,t1=1…W1 are within the stopband range of the corresponding first low-pass or high-pass filter among the W1 first low-pass or high-pass filters. The t1-th first low-pass or high-pass filter among the W1 first low-pass or high-pass filters is 1,t1 and transmit a signal input to a first low-pass or high-pass filter of a different wavelength, t1, where k1 is an integer ranging from 1 to Z1, and Z1 is an integer greater than or equal to W1.
[0109] The first common port is configured to output the single-channel multi-wavelength output signal Q1 obtained by the first low-pass or high-pass filter group.
[0110] X1=Y1=Z1=W1=M, and the Eth wavelength included in X1 wavelengths 1,1 from the wavelength of E 1,X1 The wavelengths of λ1 and λ 1+N …, λ 1+(M-1)*N and the Fth wavelength included in the Y1 wavelengths is 1,1 from wavelength F 1,Y1 The wavelengths of λ2 and λ 2+N , …, λ 2+(M-1)*N , the WDM component may be understood to be the WDM component shown in FIG.

[0112] FIG. 3 is a diagram of the structure of a WDM component according to an embodiment of the present application, namely a double density WDM component.
[0113] Based on the WDM component shown in FIG. 2, the WDM component may further include a second input port group 103', a second low-pass or high-pass filter group 102', and a second common port 104'.
[0114] The second low-pass or high-pass filter group 102' may include M second low-pass or high-pass filters 1002', and the second input port group 103' includes N second input ports 1003'.
[0115] The WDM component shown in FIG. 3 is explained by using an example in which the light waves input by the N second input ports 1003′ are the same as the light waves input by the N first input ports 1003, respectively.
[0116] The N band-stop filter groups 101 in the WDM component further process the N-channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal input through the second input port group 103'. The processing process is the same as that of processing the N-channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal input through the first input port group 103 to obtain M-channel signals each having N wavelengths. The specific processing process will not be described again in this specification.
[0117] The M second low-pass or high-pass filters 1002' have the same functions as the M first low-pass or high-pass filters 1002 in Figure 2, and successively reflect the input light wave to the next low-pass or high-pass filter 1002' to obtain a single-channel signal having M*N wavelengths, and input the single-channel signal having M*N wavelengths into the second common port 104'.

[0119] By using WDM components, multiple channel double-density single-fiber multi-wavelength signals can be combined into a single channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal, or a double-density single-channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signal can be split into multiple channel single-fiber multi-wavelength signals. This reduces optical signal processing costs, link insertion losses, and link configuration complexity. Thus, manual configuration costs are reduced.

In this way, a double-density WDM component can be implemented to further reduce optical signal processing costs, link insertion losses, and link configuration complexity. Thus, manual configuration costs are reduced.
[0137] Optionally, a second low-pass or high-pass filter thin film plated on the bevel of a third triangular prism filter disposed in the piano edge of the notch used for the second common port is used for total reflection, i.e., the first second low-pass or high-pass filter 1002'-1.
[0138] The above WDM component shown in Figure 4 is implemented based on a Z-block structure. An embodiment of the present application further provides a WDM component based on a thin-film filter (TFF).
[0139] FIG. 5 is a diagram of the structure of a TFF used for bandstop filtering.
[0140] The TFF includes four ports, which are port a, port b, port c, and port d, respectively.
[0141] Optionally, the TFF may include a sleeve and two fiber collimators.
[0142] The bandstop filter 1001 is fixed to the TFF and may optionally be placed between two fiber collimators of the TFF.
[0143] For example, a single multi-wavelength signal having wavelengths λ1 to λ6 is input through port a of the TFF, and the band-stop filter 1001 reflects wavelength λ1 and transmits the other wavelengths. Port b outputs a single multi-wavelength signal having wavelength λ1. Port d outputs signals having wavelengths λ2 to λ6.
[0144] Optionally, the TFF may further implement demultiplexing processing for the multi-wavelength signals of another channel. For example, if a single multi-wavelength signal having wavelengths λ1 to λ6 is input through port c, port d outputs a single multi-wavelength signal having wavelength λ1, and port b outputs signals having wavelengths λ2 to λ6.
[0145] Based on the TFF shown in FIG. 5, the WDM components provided in the embodiment of the present application are shown in FIG.
[0146] The WDM building block includes a band-stop TFF group 101 of N channels, which corresponds to the band-stop filter group 101 of Figure 2 or Figure 3, respectively. Each TFF group of channels includes M band-stop TFFs 1001, which corresponds to the band-stop filters 1001 of Figure 2 or Figure 3, respectively.
[0147] The WDM component further includes a TFF group 102 of one channel, for example, a first low-pass or high-pass TFF group 102, corresponding to the first low-pass or high-pass filter group 102 in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3. The first low-pass or high-pass TFF group 102 includes M first low-pass or high-pass TFFs 1002, which respectively correspond to the first low-pass or high-pass filters 1002 in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3. In other words, the first low-pass or high-pass filter 1002 is fixed to the M first low-pass or high-pass TFFs 1002.
[0148] Optionally, the WDM component may further include a TFF group 102' of one channel, for example, a second low-pass or high-pass TFF group 102', corresponding to the second low-pass or high-pass filter group 102' in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3. The second low-pass or high-pass TFF group 102' includes M second low-pass or band TFFs 1002', which respectively correspond to the first low-pass or band filter 1002' in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3. In other words, the second low-pass or band filter 1002' is fixed to the M second low-pass or high-pass TFFs 1002'.
[0149] The connection relationships between the TFFs included in the WDM component are shown in Fig. 6. For the vth band-stop TFF in each of the columns of the N-channel band-stop TFF group 101, i.e., in the vth row, a signal having multiple wavelengths is input through port a of the band-stop TFF. For example, the multiple wavelengths are λ v , λ v+N , …, λ v+(M-1)*N or a combination thereof, where v∈{1,2,...,N}, M and N are integers equal to or greater than 2, and a signal having multiple wavelengths is output from port b. For example, the multiple wavelengths may be λ v , λ v+1 , λ v+2 , …, λ v+(N-1) or a combination thereof, where v∈{1,2,...,N}. The port d of the vth band-stop TFF is connected to the port a of the next band-stop TFF in the row in which the vth band-stop TFF is located. For example, if the vth band-stop TFF is located in the uth column, then the next band-stop TFF is the band-stop TFF in the (u+1)th column. Thus, for example, u is an integer ranging from 1 to M, and λ v , λ v+N , …, λ v+(M-1)*N The wavelength λ within the stopband range of the band-eliminating TFF in the vth row and uth column of v+(u-1)*NThe wavelengths other than λ are input to the next band-stop TFF in the row in which the vth band-stop TFF is located, i.e., the band-stop TFF in the vth row and the (u+1)th column, where v∈{1,2,...,N}, and M and N are integers equal to or greater than 2. Port b of the band-stop TFF in the vth row and the uth column is connected to port c of the band-stop TFF in the (v+1)th row and the uth column. In this way, the band-stop TFF in the Nth row and the uth column is connected to multiple wavelengths λ v From λ v+(N-1) to the first low- or high-band TFF group 102, for example to port a or port c of the u-th first low- or high-band TFF 1002 in the first low- or high-band TFF group 102. For example, when u=1, the signal is input to port a of the first low- or high-band TFF 1002, or when u≠1, the signal is input to port c of the first low- or high-band TFF 1002. Port d of the u-th first low- or high-band TFF 1002 is connected to port a of the (u+1)-th first low- or high-band TFF 1002, and thus the last first low- or high-band TFF 1002, i.e., the multiple wavelength λ v , λ v+N , …, λ v+(M-1)*N The port d of the Mth first low-band or high-band TFF 1002, which corresponds to the TFF from which the last wavelength was obtained, splits the multiple wavelengths λ1 to λ M*N , v∈{1,2,…,N}. N is within the passband range of the first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002. 1+N From λ N+N is within the stopband range of the u-th first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002. N*u is within the passband range of the u-th first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002. 1+N*u From λ N+N*u is within the stopband range of the u-th first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002. By analogy, λ1 to λ N*(M-1)is within the passband range of the Mth first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002, and λ 1+N*(M-1) From λ N+N*(M-1) is within the stopband range of the Mth first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002, and therefore the port d of the Mth first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002 is within the stopband range of the Mth first low-pass or high-pass TFF 1002 from wavelength λ1 to λ N*M The signal output has the following characteristics:
[0150] Optionally, when the WDM component includes a second low-band or high-band TFF group 102′, the port d of the Mth band-stop TFF 1001 of each of the N-channel band-stop TFF groups 101 in the WDM component receives a multi-wavelength signal, e.g., a wavelength λ v , λ v+N , …, λ v+(M-1)*N , where v∈{1,2,...,N}, M and N are integers equal to or greater than 1, and each port c of the band-stop TFF in the N-channel band-stop TFF group is further configured to output a signal having a corresponding wavelength. In other words, each of the band-stop TFFs in the N-channel band-stop TFF group is further multiplexed to perform a multiplexing / demultiplexing process in the opposite direction to the above, and thus the band-stop TFFs in the first row of the uth column are ... v From λ v+(N-1) to the second low- or high-band TFF group 102', for example to port d or port b of the u-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002' in the second low- or high-band TFF group 102'. For example, when u=M, the signal is input to port d of the second low- or high-band TFF 1002', or when u≠M, the signal is input to port b of the second low- or high-band TFF 1002'. Port a of the u-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002' is connected to port d of the u-1-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002', and thus port a of the first second low- or high-band TFF 1002', i.e., port a of the u-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002', i.e., port b of the u-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002', is connected to port d of the u-1-th second low- or high-band TFF 1002'. v , λ v+N , …, λ v+(M-1)*NThe first and second low- or high-band TFFs 1002' correspond to the TFFs from which the first wavelength was obtained through splitting a plurality of wavelengths λ1 to λ M*N , v∈{1, 2, …, N}.
[0151] By using the above WDM components based on TFF, the optical signal processing cost, link insertion loss, and link configuration complexity are reduced, thus reducing the manual configuration cost.
[0152] In the above embodiments shown in Figures 2 to 6, the WDM component is implemented based on a band-stop filter. An embodiment of the present application further provides a WDM component, which is implemented based on a band-stop filter.

[0156] A bandpass filter is configured to transmit wavelengths within a particular range and reflect wavelengths outside of this particular range.
[0157] Optionally, the positions of the two bandpass filters 2001 are diagonal and the positions of the two total reflection structures 2002 are diagonal.
[0158] The wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 are used as examples. The first band filter 2001 in the two band filters 2001 is configured to transmit one of the wavelengths λ2 and λ5, e.g., λ2, and reflect the other as well as the incident wavelengths λ1 and λ4, which may come from the first incident port 203. The second band filter 2001 in the two band filters 2001 is configured to transmit another wavelength, e.g., λ5, different from the wavelengths transmitted by the first band filter 2001 in the wavelengths λ2 and λ5, and reflect the wavelengths transmitted by the first band filter 2001, e.g., λ2, as well as the wavelengths λ1 and λ4. The two total reflection structures 2002 are separately configured to reflect signals from the two band filters 2001, so that signals with wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 can be obtained at the first common port 204.
[0159] Optionally, the wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 are λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 in the CWDM described above.
[0160] A more general description of this solution is provided as follows.

[0170] In the more general solution above,1,1 and E 1,2 The wavelengths of F correspond to the wavelengths λ2 and λ5 in FIG. 1,1 and F 1,2 may be understood to correspond to the wavelengths λ1 and λ4, respectively, of Figure 7. The first bandpass filter corresponds to the bandpass filter in the upper left corner of Figure 7, and the second bandpass filter corresponds to the bandpass filter in the lower right corner of Figure 7.
[0171] By using the WDM components provided in the above embodiment, the synthesis of two channels of dual wavelength signals can be implemented, that is, a signal of one channel having four wavelengths is obtained. In this way, the optical signal processing cost, the link insertion loss, and the link configuration complexity are reduced. Therefore, the manual configuration cost is reduced.
[0172] Furthermore, based on the WDM components shown in FIG. 7, in the embodiment of the present application, the components may be further extended to combine three channel dual-wavelength signals into one channel six-wavelength signal.
[0173] As shown in FIG. 8, based on the WDM component shown in FIG. 7, the WDM component may further include a second combiner splitter structure 201-2.
[0174] Based on the more general description of FIG. 7, in the WDM component, The second combiner splitter structure 201-2 may include two bandpass filters and two total reflection structures.
[0175] The two bandpass filters included in the second combiner splitter structure include a third bandpass filter and a fourth bandpass filter.

[0180] The fourth total reflection structure is the G 1,1 The optical fiber is configured to reflect wavelengths of 100 nm to 150 nm.

[0182] The single-channel multi-wavelength signal Q1 output by the first common port is 1,1 and G 1,2 The wavelengths of the .lambda.
[0183] In the above description, the Gth wavelength in the third channel input signal C1 having two wavelengths is 1,1and G 1,2 may be understood to correspond to wavelengths λ3 and λ6, respectively, in FIG. 8. The first band filter in the first combiner splitter structure 201-1 in FIG. 8 is the band filter in the upper left corner, transmits wavelength λ5 and reflects wavelengths λ1, λ2, and λ4. The second band filter in the first combiner splitter structure 201-1 is the band filter in the lower right corner, transmits wavelength λ2 and reflects wavelengths λ1, λ4, and λ5.

In this way, signals having wavelengths λ1 to λ6 are obtained. In this way, the first common port 204 may output signals having wavelengths λ1 to λ6 that are obtained by the fourth bandpass filter. It may be understood that FIG. 8 is a specific example. There may be other settings for a specific passband range of the bandpass filter, for example, settings based on the wavelengths that need to be processed. This is not limited in this specification.
[0184] By using the WDM components provided in the above embodiment, the synthesis of three-channel dual-wavelength signals can be implemented, that is, one channel signal with six wavelengths is obtained. The optical signal processing cost is further reduced.
[0185] Furthermore, based on the WDM component shown in FIG. 7, the embodiment of the present application further provides a double density WDM component.
[0186] As shown in FIG. 9, the WDM component is based on the WDM component shown in FIG. 7, and at least one group of combiner splitter structures further includes a third combiner splitter structure 201-3, at least two second input ports 203', and a second common port 204'.

For example, the fifth band filter 2001 transmits the wavelength λ1, and the sixth band filter 2001 transmits the wavelength λ4, or vice versa. The two total reflection structures in the second combiner splitter structure 201 are configured to reflect all input signals. In this way, the fifth band filter in the second combiner splitter structure is further configured to output signals having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 to the second common port 204'.

[0206] The third combiner splitter structure includes two bandpass filters and two total reflection structures.
[0207] The two band filters included in the third combiner splitter structure include a fifth band filter and a sixth band filter.
[0208] The two total reflection structures included in the third combiner splitter structure include a fifth total reflection structure and a sixth total reflection structure.

[0215] By using the WDM components provided in the above embodiment, the synthesis of two-channel dual-wavelength signals can be implemented, i.e., a signal of one channel with four wavelengths is obtained. In addition, the synthesis of two-channel double-density dual-wavelength signals can also be implemented, i.e., a signal of two channels with four wavelengths is obtained. This further reduces the optical signal processing cost.
[0216] It may be understood that based on the WDM components shown in any one of Figures 7 to 9, more combiner splitter structures and corresponding input ports may be further included to support the combination of more channel dual-wavelength signals and the combination of more channel double-density dual-wavelength signals. The specific solutions will not be described again in this specification.
[0217] The above WDM components based on bandpass filters may also be implemented based on TFFs.
[0218] FIG. 10 is a diagram of the structure of a TFF configured to implement a bandpass filtering function.
[0219] This structure is similar to the solution shown in Fig. 5. The difference is that the band-stop filter disposed in the TFF is replaced with a band-pass filter 2001. In this case, for example, port a is still configured to input wavelengths λ1 to λ6, and the pass-band range of the band-pass filter includes the wavelength λ1 but not other wavelengths. Based on the characteristics of the band-pass filter, port b of the TFF is configured to output wavelengths λ2 to λ6, and port d is configured to output wavelength λ1. If port c of the TFF is configured to input wavelengths λ1 to λ6, then port d is configured to output wavelengths λ2 to λ6, and port b is configured to output wavelength λ1.
[0220] Based on the TFF of FIG. 10, an embodiment of the present application may provide a TFF-based WDM component.
[0221] FIG. 11 is a diagram of the structure of a WDM component based on band TFF.
[0222] The WDM components may implement the functions of the WDM components shown in FIG.
[0223] The WDM component may not only combine two-channel dual-wavelength signals into one-channel four-wavelength signal, but also combine two-channel double-density dual-wavelength signals, i.e., obtain two-channel four-wavelength signals.
[0224] It can be understood that the WDM component includes four band TFFs, and every two band TFFs form a combiner splitter structure shown in Figure 7 or Figure 9. For example, the two lower band TFFs in the four band TFFs in Figure 11 may form the first combiner splitter structure 201-1 shown in Figure 7 or Figure 9, and the two upper band TFFs may form the third combiner splitter structure 201-3 shown in Figure 9. The third combiner splitter structure 201-3 is optional.
[0225] The upper band TFF in the first combiner splitter structure 201-1, i.e., the first band TFF (corresponding to the first band filter), transmits the wavelength λ2 among the wavelengths λ2 and λ5 input through the port a to the port d, reflects the wavelengths λ1 and λ4 input through the port c to the port d, and reflects the wavelength λ5 among the wavelengths λ2 and λ5 input through the port a to the port b. The port b is connected to the port a of the lower band TFF, i.e., the second band TFF (corresponding to the second band filter). The port d is connected to the port c of the second band TFF. The second band TFF transmits the wavelength λ5 to the port d, and reflects the wavelengths λ1, λ2, and λ4 input through the port c to the port d to obtain a signal having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 output by the port d. The first common port 204 outputs signals having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 from port d of the second band TFF.
[0226] Optionally, the upper band TFF in the third combiner splitter structure 201-3, i.e., the fifth band TFF (corresponding to the fifth band filter), transmits to port b the wavelength λ1 among the wavelengths λ1 and λ4 input through port c, and reflects to port d the wavelength λ4 among the wavelengths λ1 and λ4 input through port c. The port b is connected to port a of the lower band TFF, i.e., the sixth band TFF (corresponding to the sixth band filter). The port d is connected to port c of the sixth band TFF. The sixth band TFF transmits to port b the wavelength λ4 and reflects to port b the wavelength λ1 input through port a to obtain a signal having wavelengths λ1 and λ4 output by port b. The port b of the sixth band TFF is connected to port c of the first band TFF, and the signal having wavelengths λ1 and λ4 is input to the first band TFF.
[0227] Optionally, port b of the second band TFF is further configured to input signals having wavelengths λ1 and λ4, and port d of the sixth band TFF is further configured to input signals having wavelengths λ1 and λ4, such that port a of the fifth band TFF may further output signals having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 to obtain a signal having four wavelengths of the second channel.
[0228] It may be understood that the connection of the above band TFFs may be changed due to the structural symmetry of the TFFs. For example, the connection of the TFFs shown in FIG. 11 may be changed to the connection shown in FIG. 12. Specifically, the port b of the sixth band TFF may be connected with the port a of the first band TFF. The port c of the first band TFF is configured to input signals having wavelengths λ2 and λ5, and the port b of the second band TFF is configured to output signals having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5. Optionally, when the WDM is a double-density WDM, the port d of the second band TFF is further configured to input signals having wavelengths λ2 and λ5.
[0229] Optionally, a WDM component may be further provided for combining three-channel dual-wavelength signals into one-channel six-wavelength signal, similar to the structure shown in Fig. 11. Furthermore, a double-density WDM component may be further provided for combining three-channel double-density dual-wavelength signals, i.e., for obtaining two-channel six-wavelength signals.

That is, a combiner splitter structure is added, which includes the two lowest band TFFs in Figure 13, and is configured to input signals having wavelengths λ3 and λ6, and combine the wavelengths λ3 and λ6 with the wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5 input to the combiner splitter structure to obtain signals having wavelengths λ1 to λ6.

That is, in the structure shown in FIG. 7, the band-stop filter may be configured to combine two channels of dual-wavelength signals. In the first combiner splitter structure, the filter at the upper left corner is the first band-stop filter, and the filter at the lower right corner is the second band-stop filter. The first band-stop filter and the second band-stop filter reflect one and the other of the wavelengths λ2 and λ5, respectively. For example, the first band-stop filter reflects the wavelength λ2, and the second band-stop filter reflects the wavelength λ5. Both the first band-stop filter and the second band-stop filter transmit the wavelengths λ1 and λ4. In this way, the second band-stop filter may be configured to output signals having wavelengths λ1, λ2, λ4, and λ5.
[0232] Correspondingly, the structures shown in Figures 8 and 9 can also be applied to band-stop filters, in which case only the corresponding wavelengths in the passband range need to be changed to wavelengths in the stopband range, and the wavelengths in the stopband range need to be changed to wavelengths in the passband range.
