Abstract
Description
An optical interconnection communication method and system TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of high-speed optical interconnection in data centers, and in particular to an optical interconnection communication method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the emergence and popularity of new, bandwidth-intensive network applications such as HDTV (High Definition Television), VR (Virtual Reality), teleconferencing, mobile Internet, and cloud computing, network traffic is growing rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of more than 22% per year. As the cornerstone of information bearing, transmission and exchange, optical fiber communication networks will also face tremendous pressure. In particular, under the trend of 5G commercialization, the construction of DCN (Data Center Network) and CDN (Content Delivery Network) is quietly changing the distribution of large data traffic in the network. Online live streaming, video transmission, and file sharing are the main data services that occupy the majority of Internet traffic. They are mainly carried and distributed through DCN and CDN, and do not need to be transmitted through long-distance networks in most scenarios. Therefore, the network traffic load is shifting from long-haul backbone networks to medium and short distance metropolitan area networks and data centers. Research shows that global data center-related IP traffic reached 6.8 ZB (1 ZB = 10 9 TB) in 2016, and is expected to grow to 20.6 ZB by 2021, with a growth rate of about 2 times in 5 years. In particular, in cloud computing data centers, the data traffic pressure is more obvious. It is estimated that by 2021, 94% of business will be processed in cloud data centers. However, more than 70% of the traffic in data center-related networks is terminated within the data center. It is clear that short-distance (less than 2 km), high-speed optical interconnection technology will play an important role in future data transmission and carrying.
[0003] In the face of the bandwidth upgrade demand of optical interconnection in data center, capacity, power consumption and cost are three important factors. The international mainstream standard organization has made corresponding specifications for optical modules used in data center. At present, based on short wavelength VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) and multi-mode fiber, 10 transmits and 10 receives are realized by using multi-core MPO (Multi Push On) connector, and finally about 100G optical interconnection is completed, but its transmission distance is usually limited to about 100 meters. For the connection scene in large data center, it needs to cover 5km. At this time, it is usually necessary to upgrade to the scheme combined with DML (Directly Modulated Laser) and single-mode fiber, and to use OOK (On-Off Keying) modulation scheme, such as MSA (Multi Source Agreement) 100G CWDM4 (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) standard optical module which can support 2km, 100G transmission, but 4 sets of transceiver equipment are needed for unidirectional transmission. For the next generation 400G, 2km or so interconnection demand, EML (Electro-absorption Modulated Laser) needs to be replaced by DML on the basis of single-mode fiber, combined with high-order PAM4 (4 Pulse Amplitude Modulation) modulation technology, the number of wavelengths increases to 8, and the cost and power consumption increase significantly. For further expansion and upgrade in the future, this IMDD (Intensity Modulation Direct Detection) technology will be in a dilemma, and the module size, power consumption and cost will become a challenge.
[0004] Compared with traditional IMDD, digital coherent optical communication has become the mainstream technology of future long-distance optical communication due to its better sensitivity, higher spectral efficiency and stronger damage compensation ability, and has been deployed on a large scale. However, the existing long-distance 100G / 200G coherent DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system cannot be directly used for short-distance optical interconnection in data centers, because the number of ports in data centers is huge, and the cost of transceiver modules is extremely sensitive. At the same time, the power consumption and size of long-distance modules are large, which further limits their application in high-density optical interconnection in data centers. Therefore, how to reduce the cost and power consumption of the existing coherent optical communication system is the primary problem faced by the coherent technology for short-distance data center optical interconnection scenarios.
[0005] Currently, there are three main types of low-cost coherent optical communication technologies. The first type is to use pure analog optical signal processing to avoid using high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and complex DSP ASICs (Digital Signal Processing Application Specific Integrated Circuit), in order to reduce cost and power consumption. However, this completely DSP-free scheme will have a large performance degradation, because it cannot compensate for the bandwidth limitations of the device, and it is difficult to adapt to higher-order modulation formats, and low complexity and no crosstalk polarization demultiplexing are one of the limiting factors for its application. [Journal of Lightwave technology, Vol. 35, no. 21, Design of Low-Power DSP-Free Coherent Receivers for Data Center Links]. The second type is to use a simplified 3x3 coupler to replace the traditional 90° coherent mixer in order to reduce the cost of some optical devices. [Journal of Lightwave technology, Vol. 36, no. 16, Comparison of low complexity coherent receivers for UDWDM-PONs]. The third type is to use a self-coherent method, in which the local oscillator light and the signal light are transmitted together from the transmitting end to the receiving end, and some method such as space division multiplexing fan-in fan-out or polarization separation is used to separate the local oscillator light from the signal light before coherent mixing. This can reduce the number and cost of lasers, and also simplify some of the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms at the receiving end [Optics Express, vol. 21, no. 2, investigating self-homodyne coherent detection in a 19 channel space-division-multiplexed transmission link]. Considering industrialization and module performance consistency, it is not difficult to find that low-cost and low-power coherent optical interconnection based on DSP is still the most expected scheme in the industry. However, in the second and third types of low-cost coherent systems, high-speed DA (digital-to-analog) and AD (analog-to-digital) sampling is involved, resulting in high power consumption, which makes it difficult to meet the power consumption requirements of data center pluggable optical modules. Reducing the system sampling rate, further simplifying the coherent DSP algorithm and architecture is a possible direction to reduce power consumption, and is also a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in data center high-speed coherent optical interconnection technology.
[0006] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the DSP processing flow of the traditional coherent optical communication for long-distance transmission and the DSP processing flow of the traditional coherent optical communication for long-distance transmission respectively contain the part of sampling rate conversion, such as the up-sampling of FIG. 1 and the re-sampling of FIG. 2, which not only has a complex structure, but also has a large power consumption due to working under the condition of high sampling rate (more than baud rate). Especially, the calculation complexity of the functions of dispersion compensation, multi-tap adaptive equalization, frequency offset estimation and phase recovery of the receiver is large, which occupies most of the chip power consumption. Obviously, the traditional DSP architecture cannot be directly applied to the low-cost and low-power data center short-distance optical interconnection system. The modulation format of the signal is the common polarization multiplexed phase modulation or amplitude-phase modulation, such as PDM (Polarization Division Multiplexed)-PSK (Phase Shift Keying), PDM-QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), PDM-8QAM (8-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), PDM-16QAM (16-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), PDM-64QAM (64-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and the like.

[0070] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0071] In the present application, only the sending end is provided with a laser, which, compared with the prior art, uses self-coherent technology to avoid the use of an expensive narrow-line-width laser at the receiving end, and only one laser is used at the sending end, thereby reducing the cost of a short-distance optical interconnection system.
[0072] Further, the launch end adopts a DFB (Distributed Feedback laser) laser, which generally has a larger line width, is in the order of MHz, and is cheaper than an ECL (External Cavity Laser) laser. The ECL is generally a narrow line width laser, and has a line width in the order of KHz. At present, commercial coherent optical communication systems all need an ECL laser with a line width of about 100 kHz. Therefore, the use of the DFB laser further reduces the system cost compared with other lasers.
[0073] The polarization state of the local oscillator light is controlled by using a power balance detection and a polarization scrambler in combination, so as to avoid the risk of demodulation failure when the local oscillator light is exactly X or Y polarized, to realize polarization-independent coherent reception, and to solve the difficulty of control of the polarization state of the local oscillator light in a self-coherent system.
[0074] A coarse adjustable delay line and a fine adjustable delay line are used on an optical path to adjust the optical path difference between the local oscillator light and the signal light, to ensure the matching of the coherence length, thereby avoiding the estimation of frequency offset and the recovery of phase at the receiving end, and greatly simplifying the DSP algorithm and circuit at the receiving end.
[0075] In terms of DSP, on the one hand, a baud rate sampling rate DAC and ADC conversion are used to greatly reduce the power consumption of the coherent DSP chip; on the other hand, a set of extremely simple transceiver DSP signal processing procedures are proposed to simplify the complexity of the DSP and save the chip power consumption and area.
[0076] In the launch end DSP chip, polarization diversity precoding is used to artificially introduce correlation between the signals in two polarization states, which is expected to improve the tolerance to polarization-dependent loss, and to solve the performance loss problem of low-cost devices used in a coherent system to a certain extent.
[0077] In the receiving end DSP chip, an FFE (Forward Feedback Equalizer) is used to compensate for the ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) problem caused by fiber dispersion and device bandwidth limitation, and then a single-tap butterfly filter is used to realize polarization demultiplexing, and then deprecoding is performed to recover the symbols in X and Y polarization states. The entire DSP algorithm is greatly simplified compared with the traditional coherent DSP algorithm, and all algorithm sub-modules work at a single sampling rate, so that the power consumption of the DSP chip is expected to be greatly reduced.
[0078] And, based on the DSP processing of the sending end, different high-order modulation formats such as QPSK, 8QAM, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, etc. can be applied, and multiple information rates such as 100G, 200G, 400G, 600G, 800G, etc. can be applied.
[0079] In conclusion, the application finally realizes the beneficial effect of realizing low-cost, high-speed and low-power short-distance optical interconnection, which is very suitable for the optical interconnection scene in the data center which is sensitive to cost and power consumption.

[0095] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0096] An embodiment of an optical interconnection communication method is provided, specifically comprising:
[0097] In the transmitting direction, the binary bit stream signal to be transmitted is converted into an analog electrical signal after DSP processing. A laser is used to provide a direct current optical carrier for optical interconnection communication, and also as a local oscillator light for coherent detection. Specifically, the laser outputs two optical signals, one of which is used as an optical carrier of an integrated dual-coherent optical transmitter, and the analog electrical signal obtained by DSP processing is modulated into a complex optical field signal; the other is used as a local oscillator light for time delay adjustment. The time delay of the local oscillator light transmission line can be adjusted by a coarse adjustable delay line to match the length of the complex optical field signal transmission link, so as to ensure that the complex optical field signal and the local oscillator light are near the coherence length.
[0098] In the receiving direction, the above-mentioned complex optical field signal and local oscillator light are received by a polarization-independent coherent optical receiver, and coherent mixing is performed to move the modulated signal to the baseband to obtain a baseband electrical signal. The polarization state of the local oscillator light is controlled by feedback polarization scrambling to avoid the polarization state of the local oscillator light falling into the X and Y directions, thereby causing the loss of data in one of the polarization states, and ensuring correct demodulation of polarization multiplexed data. The electrical signal after mixing is processed by DSP to recover the binary bit stream signal. After mixing, four electrical signals are obtained, which are two X-polarized and Y-polarized electrical signals and their respective in phase and quadrature.
[0099] The polarization state of the local oscillation light controlled by the feedback disturbance specifically comprises: the polarization-independent coherent light receiver divides the received local oscillation light into two polarization state perpendicular branches, the local oscillation light in each branch is divided into two paths according to different power ratios, the path with smaller optical power of the local oscillation light in each branch is extracted, the power difference of the extracted two paths of the local oscillation light is obtained, and the power difference is converted into a photocurrent amplitude; when the absolute value of the photocurrent amplitude is greater than a preset threshold, a control signal proportional to the absolute value is used to disturb the local oscillation light.
[0100] Based on the above embodiment, a DSP processing embodiment in the transmission direction and the receiving direction is further provided. The binary bit stream signal to be transmitted is processed by digital signal processing, specifically comprising the steps of:
[0101] S101. The binary bit stream signal to be transmitted is subjected to FEC (Forward Error Correction) encoding.
[0102] S102. The data after FEC encoding is subjected to independent constellation mapping for X and Y two polarization states (i.e. horizontal and vertical two polarization states) according to a preselected modulation format, to generate two independent complex signal streams [X1, Y1] T .
[0103] S103. The complex signal streams [X1, Y1] T are subjected to polarization diversity precoding, to output two precoded symbol streams [X2, Y2] T ; the precoding rule is:
[0104] [X2, Y2] T = H·[X1, Y1] T , wherein, is a precoding matrix, and ad-bc≠0 is satisfied.
[0105] S104. The two precoded signals are subjected to orthogonal separation, to obtain corresponding four signals, which represent the real part and the imaginary part of the X and Y polarization states respectively, and then are subjected to time domain pre-compensation by an FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter in a real number field respectively, to adjust the relative time delay between the signals and compensate for the bandwidth of part of the optoelectronic devices.
[0106] Preferably, to ensure low complexity and power consumption, the number of taps of the FIR is not more than 3.
[0107] S105. The four signals after pre-compensation are sent into a DAC for digital-to-analog conversion with a baud rate as a sampling rate, to obtain an electrical signal to be modulated.
[0108] In the receiving direction, the mixed electrical signal is processed by digital signal processing, which includes the following steps:
[0109] S201. The four-way electrical signal output by the polarization-independent coherent receiver is converted into four-way digital signals by analog-to-digital conversion at a sampling rate of the baud rate.
[0110] S202. The four-way digital signals are processed by digital anti-aliasing filtering with a low-pass filter to remove signal spectrum aliasing that may be caused by single sampling.
[0111] S203. The filtered signals are pre-fed and equalized to compensate for the influence of inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by bandwidth limitation and short-fiber dispersion, and the time difference between channels.
[0112] S204. The signals after pre-fed equalization are clock-synchronized to restore the optimal sampling clock and phase, and the clock-synchronization algorithm needs to work at a single sampling rate.
[0113] S205. As shown in FIG. 3, Xin, Yin, Xin', and Yin' represent input and output signal vectors of adaptive equalizers X and Y for two polarization states, respectively, and Wxx, Wxy, Wyx, and Wyy are four sets of tap coefficients of the butterfly filter, representing the influence of X polarization input on X polarization output, the influence of Y polarization input on X polarization output, the influence of X polarization input on Y polarization output, and the influence of Y polarization input on Y polarization output, respectively. According to certain tap adaptive updating rules and updating periods, single-tap adaptive equalization is implemented to realize polarization demultiplexing, and the two-way signals after equalization are [A1, B1] T .
[0114] Preferably, a single-tap adaptive filter is used to adaptively equalize the signals after clock recovery, such as a single-tap 2x2 complex butterfly filter.
[0115] S206. A matrix is used to perform depolarization diversity precoding processing on [A1, B1] T to obtain [A2, B2] T , and the rule of depolarization diversity precoding is [A2, B2] T = H'·[A1, B1] T , where H' is the inverse matrix of the precoding matrix H.
[0116] S207. According to a pre-selected modulation format, the demapping of the signals after precoding is completed, and the recovered symbols are converted into binary bits.
