Preparation for Commission

Commissioning Precautions

Before commissioning, the installation engineer must work out the hardware quality check report. The installation engineer must ensure that the quality of the installation project does not affect later commissioning. In particular, pay attention to how the installation engineer test the installed fibers. The instruments involved in testing need to be calibrated. The instruments that need to be grounded must be well grounded. The error introduced by the accessories involved in testing (including fiber jumpers and flange) must be calculated in the test values. Fibers must be cleaned during the system commissioning process. When you clean the fibers, you must use the special fiber cleaner, and use the fiber microscope to check whether the fiber interface is clean. Use lint-free wipes or (cassette cleaner) to clean the fiber jumper interface. Use the compressed air dedusting agent to clean the female connector. All paths must be involved in the system commissioning. You need to commission all wavelengths that transmit optical power, to ensure that all paths that are initially configured are in the optimum status. Record the commissioning data in details (optical amplifier unit, input and output optical power of the OTU).

1. Commissioning Requirement for Optical Amplifier Unit

Optical power

Adjust the average optical power level of input and output wavelengths to or close to the one-channel standard input and output optical power. Adjust the number of wavelengths that are greater than the average one-channel optical power to be equal to the number of wavelengths that are smaller than the average onechannel optical power. Adjust the flatness of each one-channel optical power, so that the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the optical power flatness meets the index requirement, the optical power flatness can be sacrificed to guarantee the signal noise ratio. The one-channel standard optical power means that one channel should be adjusted to a value that guarantees the optimum performance. This value is generated based on the OSNR and non-linear balance and is the maximum input and output one-channel optical power that an optical amplifier unit allows. OSNR requires higher optical power. The higher the optical power, the better the OSNR. Excessive optical power can result in non-linear impact. The lower the input optical power, the smaller the non-linear impact. The one-channel standard optical power can be calculated based on the maximum optical power index.

Calculation of one-channel standard optical power for optical amplifier unit


Suppose the one-channel standard optical power is S (mW), 10lgS (dBm). Suppose the maximum number of add or drop wavelengths is N for the optical amplifier unit and the optical power of each wavelength is the same, then Total optical power 10lgNS=10lgS+10lgNmaximum input and output optical power The one-channel standard input and output optical power 10lgSmaximum input and output optical power - 10lgN, where N is the number of input wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths. For example, the input optical power range of an optical amplifier unit is -32 to -3 dBm and the maximum output optical power is 20 dBm When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard input optical power is -3 - 10lg40 -19dBm When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard output optical power is 20-10lg404dBm Question: is the number of wavelengths when the system supports full wavelengths equals to the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths? No. For some WDM systems, the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths is not equal to the number of wavelengths when the system supports full wavelengths. For example, the C+L band 80-channel system and the C+L band 160-channel system.

2. Flatness Requirement in Commissioning One-Channel Optical Power Flatness requirement of one-channel optical power

Adjust the optical power of each wavelength to fall inside the range (-2 dB to 2 dB) of average one-channel optical power. Under special conditions (RAMAN/ROP/ULH has worse OSNR), the index requirement also apply. If the optical power flatness meet the index requirement, the optical power flatness can be sacrificed to guarantee the flatness of OSNR (or BER). adjust the transmit end based on the receive endmonitor the receive end and adjust the transmit end to ensure optical power flatness at the receive end. The purpose of adjusting the optical power flatness of each wavelength is to ensure that the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the designed OSNR is not met, the OSNR and flatness need to be further adjusted. Before an optical amplifier unit is adjusted, ensure that the attenuator of each wavelength has enough tunable range. Set the initial value according to tunable range. 1. Currently, you can adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength only when each wavelength has a tunable attenuator. If not in the case, you can only check, but cannot adjust the flatness of transmitted optical power. 2. After you adjust the one-channel average optical power of an optical amplifier unit, consider to adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength at the receive end.

3. Method of Commissioning One-Channel Optical Power

One-channel input optical power

If the one-channel average input optical power before you add an attenuator is higher than the one-channel standard input optical power, adjust the variable optical attenuator (VOA) to enable the one-channel average input optical power to reach the standard.

If the one-channel average input optical power cannot reach the onechannel standard input optical power, remove the VOA at the input end of the amplifier. In this way, the one-channel average input optical power remains the maximum optical power. Do not adjust the output optical power for optical amplifier units except the OAU. The one-channel optical power that is output based on fixed gain is the standard optical power.
For the E2OAU, set an EVOA to enable the one-channel output optical power to reach the standard. If the E3OAU and the C6OAU has an EVOA, set gainone-channel standard output optical power adjusted one-channel average input optical power

4. Method of Commissioning Total Optical Power

Definition of standard total optical power

The standard total optical power refers to the total optical power when you adjust one channel to reach the standard one-channel optical power.

Calculation of total standard optical power

Total standard optical power = one-channel standard optical power++10lgn+offset The definition of the one-channel standard optical power is the same as what is described in previous pages

n is the number of wavelengths contained in the signal that accesses an amplifier


Offset is the optical power compensation that is added for noise impact when you use the optical power meter to commission a system. The smaller the number of wavelengths, the lower is OSNR, the larger the compensation value.

4. Method of Commissioning Total Optical Power

Theoretical calculation of total optical power

Noise optical power = 10lgN1 = 10lg (40 x 8 x N) = 10lgS (output/input average onechannel optical power of the optical amplifier unit) 10lgS/N (local OSNR) + 10 x lg8 + 10 x lg40. N1 is the total noise optical power, N is 0.1 nm noise optical power. OSNR defines the noise as 0.1 nm.

Signal optical power = 10LgS1 = 10lgnS = 10lgS (output/input average one-channel optical power of the optical amplifier unit) + 10lgn. n is the current number of wavelengths, S1 is the total signal optical power, and S is the one-channel signal optical power.

Total optical power = 10lg (S1 + N1) offset = 10lg (S1+N1)10lgS1 = 10lg (1 + N1/S1), N1=40 x 8 x N, S1=nS offset10lg (1 + (40 x 8/n) x N/S) Note: This method can be used to verify the total optical power that is calculated by using the previous method.

Sample offset computation

For example, the one-channel standard output optical power of an optical amplifier unit is adjusted to +4 dBm. The OSNR is 22 dB. Totally there are two wavelengths. What is the total standard output optical power that should be commissioned?

OSNR = 10lgS/N = 22 dB N/S = 0.0063 offset = 10lg (1 +(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1 + (40 x 8/2) x 0.0063) = 3 dB offset is irrelevant to the input and output optical power, but is relevant to OSNR,

amplification range of an optical amplifier unit (for example, 320 nm, 1529 nm-1561
nm, 40 channel x 0.8 nm) and the number of current add/drop wavelengths.

The wavelength range is a fixed parameter for the optical amplifier unit. The higher OSNR, the less offset. The more wavelengths, the less offset.

For 10 channels, offset = 10lg (1+(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1+ (40 x 8/10) x 0.0063) = 0.8 dB

The OptiX 1600G III model system is a 40x10G system. The calculated onechannel standard input optical power is 20 dBm and +4 dBm. The empiric value of offset is approximately 1 dB and 1.5 dB. The total standard input and output optical power that are calculated are 13 dBm and 11.5 dBm. The value can be more correct if the OSNR calculation tool is used. you can adjust the VOA to enable the total input optical power to reach the standard value 13 dBm. the one-channel average optical power is calculated as the one-channel standard optical power 20 dBm. you can set gain = 4 (20) = 24 dB, and then query the total output optical power and the value is approximately 11.5 dBm.

power is 11.5 dBm.

Limitation of this commissioning method

The offset value is incorrect. As a result, commissioning may be incorrect. You can estimate the offset compensation value by means of OSNR and the OSNR can be estimated by using the OSNR calculation tool.

If the one-channel optical power deviation is large, the estimated offset may be largely different.

5. Improved Commissioning Method of Total Optical Power

Commissioning method by adjusting optical power by attenuation

A. As the OSNR of the input optical power of the optical amplifier unit at the OTM at the initial end is small, you can directly use it to calculate the total standard input optical power = one-channel standard optical power + 10lgN, where N is the number of wavelengths.
B. Adjust the total standard input optical power of the optical amplifier unit in the downstream direction = queried total optical power of the optical amplifier unit in the upstream direction(one-channel standard optical power of the optical amplifier unit in the upstream directiononechannel standard input optical power of the optical amplifier unit in the downstream direction). Adjust the VOA to enable the total input optical power in the downstream direction to be the total standard input optical power. If you fail to adjust the value to the standard value, remove the VOA to enable the input optical power to remain the maximum value. Then, you can query the total input optical power in the downstream direction.

Requirements

The switch gain of a Raman amplifier 10 dB The gain flatness of each channel should fall inside the 3 dB range. RPC has two pump and RPA has three pump. Amplification is the result of the functioning of all pump.

When the gain is guaranteed, set the pump optical power to a lower value for security.
The working current cannot exceeds the threshold.

Before you turn on a pump laser, you need to enable IPA for the purpose of security. The T2000 disables IPA. You must enable IPA to turn on the pump laser. Fiber Type (by standard) P1 (power of pump group 1) 24.0 dBm 23.0 dBm P2 (power of pump group 2) 24.0 dBm 22.5 dBm

6. Commissioning Requirement and Method on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier

Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier gain 1. After you connect fibers, when you have not turned on a pump laser, use the optical spectrum analyzer to monitor the MON port on a Raman amplifier and test the optical power of a one-channel signal. 2. Set the pump optical power to a recommended value. You need to set it for two pump groups. 3. Turn on the two groups of pump lasers and read the optical power of the one-channel signal by using the optical spectrum analyzer. 4. Compare the optical power of the one-channel signal when the pump laser is on and that when the pump laser is off, and calculate the switch gain. 5. If the switch gain is less than 10 dB, you can moderately increase the two groups of output pump optical power by 0.1 dB at a time, until the minimum channel switch gain is large than 10 dB. Note: As you must enable IPA by using the T2000, a direct test on SYS enables IPA and shuts down the Raman pump. As a result, you cannot commission the optical power of the Raman amplifier. Notes: The working current threshold crossing alarm indicates that you set a high value for the pump optical power and need to set it to a lower value. The pump optical power that you set cannot generate this alarm. If this alarm is generated and the gain cannot reach the value of 10 dB, you need to shut down the laser and check or replace fibers.

6. Commissioning Requirement and Method on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier

Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier gain flatness

1. After you adjust the switch gain to meet the value of 10 dB, compare the gain flatness of each channel and check whether they fall inside the range of 3 dB. If so, usually you need not adjust the gain flatness. 2. If the gain flatness of each channel exceeds 3 dB, or wavelengths concentrate on a wavelength, and you cannot correctly verify whether the gain spectrum is flat, you need to use ASE spectrum to verify it.

3. After you stop the signals at the transmit end, keep the same pump settings, and turn on the pump laser. Use the optical spectrum analyzer to test the SYS port. The test result is the ASE spectrum.
4. Compare the two wave peaks of 1535 nm and 1560 nm wavelengths in ASE spectrum. See if the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is approximately 1.2 dB (0.7 dB to 1.7 dB ) higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength. If the compared value falls inside this range, you need not adjust the gain flatness.

Note 1: Generally, you need not adjust the gain flatness. This method of adjusting gain flatness cannot be performed by using the T2000 because stopping signals at the transmit end turns off the pump of the Raman board.

Hence, when you turn on the laser, you must set the IPA auxiliary detection of Raman, to ensure that IPA does not shut down Huawei Confidential the laser during testing.

If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is 1.7 dB higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, decrease the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and increase the pump optical power of pump laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference meets the requirement. 6. If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is less than 0.7 dB higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, increase the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and decrease the pump optical power of pump laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference meets the requirement. 7. After you adjust the gain flatness, you need to re-test the switch gain. If the switch gain of all channels cannot be large than 10 dB, you need to re-adjust the switch gain in the way as described previously. Note: Adjusting the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 changes the optical power of the 1535 nm wavelength.

Raman line requirements

The Raman amplifier has a high requirement on the near-end line fiber loss. There should be no connector in the circumference of 0 km to 20 km except at one end of the ODF. The two ends of fibers at all connection points must be fusion spliced.

Before you use a Raman amplifier, you must use OTDR to test the fibers on the line. It is recommended that the additional loss of the single-point loss event of fibers and cables in the line should meet the following criteria: the single-point additional loss is less than 0.1 dB (G652) or 0.2 dB (G655) in the circumference of 0 km to 10 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 0.2 dB (G652) or 0.4 dB (G655) in the circumference of 10 km to 20 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 0.4 dB in the circumference of 20 km to 30 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 1 dB in the circumference of 30 km to 40 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 2 dB in the circumference of more than 40 km. In addition, the single-point return loss cannot be less than 40 dB.
The fiber connector must be clean. If a spot appears on the fiber connector, the connector may easily be blown out.

The bending radius of a fiber jumper should be more than 4 cm. A large bending radius can blow out the fiber jump.

Commissioning precautions

The negative output optical power of a Raman amplifier can be 27 dBm. When you insert and remove a fiber end, ensure that the laser is off as the laser exposure can cause permanent eye damage. Currently, Raman amplifiers use backward pump structure. Strong pump lights are accessed to fibers through the input end (line) instead of the output end (SYS).

The Raman amplifier (all amplifier units on release 5.0 NEs) provides the automatic restart function after the laser is off for five minutes. This function must be disabled for Raman amplifiers and HBA high optical power units on the field.
For the purpose of security, you must set IPA by using the latest version of the T2000 before you can turn on the Raman pump lights. Do not add non-fiber equipment and units, such as an attenuator and fiber jumper, at the input end of SSE1RPA/C. Use the special APC fiber connector. If you use the PC fiber connector, great reflection can blow out the fiber connector.

7. Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power In the Event of No Amplifier (e.g. CWDM)

Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power In the Event of No Amplification (e.g. CWDM)

You need not commission the optical power in the line for the wavelengths that do not pass the amplifier, and need not ensure the optical power flatness of each wavelength in the line.

If an amplifier is not installed at the local transmit end but one is installed at the opposite receive end, you need to adjust the flatness of launched optical power of each wavelength to a high value as much as possible.

If an amplifier is not installed at the local receive end, you need not use a VOA to adjust the optical power of the dropped wavelengths in the line.

CWDM has no amplifier as CWDM has wide wavelength frequency that results in a high cost to install an amplifier.

Commission Requirement and Method for OTU

1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU

Basic commissioning requirements The input optical power of the OTU must meet the requirement of receiver sensitivity+3 to overload point5. The received optical power of the OTU should be in the level of the middle value between the overload point and the sensitivity. Multiple types of OTU boards should be normalized whenever possible for easy management. The bit error rate before error correction of an OTU should be less than -7. The value that is less than -11 is better. Method Test the received optical power of the OTU, and add, change or remove a fixed optical attenuator according to the requirements on the optical power. Notes During commissioning, it is forbidden that the optical power that exceeds the overload point is accessed into the receive interface on the OTU. Otherwise, the optical module may be blown out. Exercise caution when you use the OTDR. When you use the OTDR, you should disconnect the fiber on the opposite ODF. Though the optical power that the OTDR tests is small, the optical power of a pulse signal can transiently be up to 20 dBm. If the optical power that exceeds the overload point is accessed into the local equipment by mistake or the fiber on the opposite ODF is not disconnected, the optical module is easily blown out.

Commissioning requirements on special OTU

The boards (the last letter of a board name is s) that support Super WDM and the same type of boards that do not support Super WDM have inconsistent transmitted waveform due to inconsistent transmitting modules and coding methods. The boards that support Super WDM has a better OSNR tolerance and can be interconnected with the same type of boards that do not support Super WDM. The way of commissioning the optical power for the boards that support Super WDM is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power of other OTU boards. When you use an optical spectrum analyzer to test the optical power, use the special instrument, such as Aglint86145B. The signal peak bandwidth that you need to set is 0.5 nm and the noise RES bandwidth is 0.1 nm. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards without FEC. Be aware that the OTU boards without FEC cannot be interconnected with the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC. The designed OSNR tolerance for the OTU boards without FEC and that for the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC are better.

1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU

Commissioning requirements on special OTU There is no difference in the commissioning requirements and methods for 10G OTU and 2.5G OTU boards. But, the dispersion tolerance that you configure for 10G OTU boards is smaller than that you configure for 2.5G OTU boards. Hence, you need to add DCM for dispersion compensation. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that support GE services is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that support SDH services. You need to use smartbits to test bit errors. In addition, set the same auto-negotiation mode for both ends. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU board at the 50 GHz spacing is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU board at the 100 GHz spacing. The 50G CRZ signal cannot be directly tested by using the optical spectrum analyzer. Only the integral test method can be used. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with the optical tunable transponder is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for other OTU boards. You can use the T2000 to set wavelengths.

Actions in commissioning OTM transmit optical power


Test the optical power of the interconnected SDH equipment of the ODF. The optical power is 2dBm. Be informed that the client-side of the LWF is the PIN receive optical module, and the optical power should between -6 and -12dBm. Add 7dB fixed attenuation. The tested optical power of the LWF-RX is -9dBm. Operations in this step can be performed during the service cutover. After the SDH signals are access or after the lights are forced to emit, test the optical power of LWF-OUT to see whether the optical power is normal. Test the optical power of M40-M0/M40-OUT. The typical insertion loss of M40 is about 6dB. Test the optical power of OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA to set the average single-wavelength optical power of OBU-IN to -19dBm (OBU-3 single-wavelength standard optical power). Test the optical power of OBU-OUT. The average single-wavelength optical power is about =4dBm. Test the optical power of FIU-RC/FIU-OUT/ SC1-TM/FIU-RM and ODF to set whether the FIU insertion loss and fiber jumper attenuation are normal.

This value is smaller than 33dB, the planned attenuation. This fact indicates that the line attenuation, FIU, and the connected fiber are all normal. Test the single wavelength optical power of FIU-TC. The value is -28dBm, smaller than 20dBm (E3OAUC03E standard single wavelength input optical power). Remove the VOA and use the short fiber jumper to directly connect the FIU-TC/OAU-IN. Set the gain as follows: 4- (-28)32dB. Test the single wavelength optical power at OAU. The tested output single wavelength optical power should be between 3.5 and 4.5dBm. Adjust the VOA in front of the DCM so that the average input single wavelength optical power of the OBU is -19dBm.

Test the optical power of the line ODF/FIU-IN/FIU-TC/FIU-TM/SC2-RM1. The attenuation=upstream FIR-RC optical power-local FIU-TC optical power=32dB. This value is smaller than 33dB, the planned attenuation. This fact indicates that the line attenuation, FIU, and the connected fiber are all normal. Calculate the single wavelength optical power of OAU-IN. The evaluated offset = 0.3dB. The general standard optical power = -20+10lg2+0.3 = -16.7dBm. The tested FIU-TC optical power is 24.7dBm, smaller than -16.7dBm. Remove the VOA in front of the OAU.

The largest optical power is -6dBm and others are about -6.5dBm, -8dBm, and -8,5dBm. If the wavelength dropped from the OUT is received by APD, you need to add 10dBm attenuation. (For the Metro 6100, you need to add the fixed attenuation, and add a 10dBm attenuator for LWF. The input optical power of LWF is about -8dBm.) Use the spectrum analyzer to test the single wavelength optical power of the OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA between the west and east OADMs so that the average single wavelength optical power of the pass-through wavelengths is -19dBm (standard OBU single wavelength optical power) at the transmit OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA between the MR2 and each LWF-OUT with wavelengths added so that the single wavelength optical power of each added wavelength is -19dBm on the OBU-IN. You can use the MON port of the OAU to perform the commission without interrupting the signals of the wavelengths dropped, added and passing through the local NE.

To equalize the OSNR, you can elevate the OSNR because the optical power of pass-through wavelengths are comparatively low.

Question

1. If there is temporarily no pass-through wavelength on an OADM, can the pass-through VOA of the east and west MR2s not be adjusted, or can it be directly connected with a fiber?

2. If there are two channels of add/drop wavelengths and two

channels of pass-through wavelengths, but four wavelengths are


tested at the east MO. Why does this happen considering there should only be two wavelengths passing through?

Inside a ROAM board is actually a PLC ROADM plus a coupler that is used to implement the optical power division. One channel is dropped at the local site, and the other channel is transmitted to the opposite ROAM. The PLC ROADM in the ROAM controls the pass-through optical signals. The PLC ROADM in the ROAM board has the power detection function. So the optical power detection and MON port are not configured.

RMU is mainly used together with WSS to realize the wavelength adding at the local site and the inter-ring connections from multiple directions. Normally, you only need to cascade MI and MO to add or drop the local wavelength through the Add port. If the optical power budget for some adding signals is tight, you can cascade an amplifier between MI and MO. For example, if the optical power becomes low after a 10G signal experiences the duel fed and selective receiving at the OLP, the optical power may be too low for an add wavelength. In this case, you need to cascade an amplifier to solve the problem.

MON

RMU
Add

When the RMU is used for inter-ring interconnection, only the Add to MO section is involved. Hence, if the WSS+RMU is used in inter-ring interconnection, the default pass-through port is no longer the IN port, but one of the Add ports.

RMU also supports cascading multiple levels and adding/dropping more wavelengths. But this way of configuration is not recommended because in this scenario, the optical power budget is very tight.
The optical detection function and MON port are configured at the IN and MO ports of the RMU. They are used to supervise the optical signals and detect the in signals and out signals by using the external meters or the MCA functional unit.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 102

ROADM Commission
The RMU is used to play the part of the multiplexing function of WSS. Since the Add port is insensitive to the wavelengths, RMU enables any wavelengths to be added from any port. RMU includes a 1*2 combiner and a 1*8 combiner. When it is used as an intra-ring ROADM, the MI and

MO can be directly connected, and an amplifier can be cascaded. The


1*8 combiner is used to combine the adding signals, and the 1*2 combiner is used to combine the local signals with the pass-through signals. When it is used as an inter-ring ROADM, the MI and OUT ports

are not involved in the channel combination. Only the 1*8 combiner is
used to combine the signals from different directions.
