Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical channel monitoring chip.
- an optical spectral analyzer with evaluation software adapted for this purpose is usually used, which determines the transmission parameters mentioned above.
- test signal which test signal has a wavelength outside the Wavelength range lies, which is usually used for the transmission of the electrical or optical signals.
- a variable that is difficult to measure is the so-called center wavelength or the relative channel position in a wavelength division multiplex system.
- the center wavelength is to be understood as the wavelength which indicates the center of the wavelength range (wavelength interval) occupied by a channel.
- a portion of the light representing the respective signal is usually first coupled out of the transmission channel in a broadband manner.
- the broadband portion is then over a wavelength dependent component, i.e. for example via an optical filter, divided into its spectral components, which are then analyzed.
- the techniques known to be used here are the use of a Fabry-Perot interferometer, a so-called Bragg grating or wavelength-dependent attenuators.
- a disadvantage of the known procedures is in particular that only the power of the individual signal components can be determined with the corresponding wavelengths.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of specifying an optical channel monitoring chip with which the Monitoring even the individual center wavelengths of the signal components is possible.
- optical channel monitoring chip with the features according to the independent claim.
- An optical channel monitoring chip for monitoring an input signal with a plurality of signals of different wavelength ranges has one

- an optical 1-9 coupler or also an up to 1:99 coupler i.e. an optical coupler in which the first intermediate signal each has a portion of the total amplitude and the second intermediate signal has 9 or 99 portions of the amplitude of the input signal.
- a first output connection is connected to an output of the optical coupler, at which the first intermediate signal can be tapped.
- An input of a DWDM demultiplexer is connected to a second output of the optical coupler, which is based on the principle of planar optical waveguides (Arrayed Waveguide Grating DWDM demultiplexer, AWG-DWDM demultiplexer).
- AWG-DWDM demultiplexer Arrayed Waveguide Grating DWDM demultiplexer
- the second intermediate signal which has all the signal components, that is to say all the frequency components, of the input signal is only divided into individual, independent signals with reduced amplitude, each of which has the signal components of transmission channels separated from one another, that is to say of different wavelength ranges.
- the DWDM demultiplexer thus clearly shows a spectral division of the frequencies in the second intermediate signal, which signal components can be provided at a second output connection, and which second output connection is connected to an output of the DWDM demultiplexer.
- the invention makes it possible for the first time with an AWG chip to record both the first intermediate signal and thus the input signal on-line with the respective individual signals in the different wavelength ranges and to compare them with one another.
- an optical detector unit on the optical channel monitoring chip, which has, for example, a large number of optical detector elements, preferably high resolution line scanners or photodiodes, which are preferably at a distance of typically at least 2.5 ⁇ r ⁇ or at least 0 , 1 ⁇ m are arranged locally from one another.
- optical detector unit makes it possible to directly convert optical signals (light signals) into electrical signals on an optical channel monitoring chip.
- photodiodes enable a very cost-effective implementation of an optical channel monitoring chip designed in the manner described above.
- An analog / digital converter is connected to one or more outputs of the optical detector unit, which is formed, for example, by means of the large number of optical detector elements, which thus clearly form a detector array.
- the analog / digital converter has a number of inputs which preferably corresponds to the number of outputs of the optical detector unit, preferably thus to the number of in optical detector elements, if each optical detector element has one output.
- the analog / digital converter can be equipped with any further evaluation logic and / or signal processing logic for generating a logic output signal which is a
- Output signal according to a predetermined processing function be coupled.
- the DWDM demultiplexer is preferably bevelled on the output side, as a result of which the individual optical elements are arranged
- Detector elements on the DWDM demultiplexer for receiving the individual output signals provided by the DWDM demultiplexer is reflection-free or reflection-reduced.
- the bevel on the output side is produced by grinding or polishing off the corresponding DWDM demultiplexer chip.
- the slope of the bevel can range from
- 0 ° ⁇ x ⁇ 10 ° preferably in the range of the so-called Brewster angle, i.e. in a range of 7 ° ⁇ x ⁇ 8 ° based on the surface of the optical channel monitoring chip, along which the wave propagation takes place.
- bevelling takes place horizontally or vertically to the surface of the optical channel monitoring chip.
- Figure 1 is a schematic equivalent circuit diagram of the individual components of the optical channel monitoring chip according to an embodiment of the invention.

- An output signal 118 is made available as an output signal of the optical channel monitoring chip 300 via an output 117 of the analog-digital converter 116.
- the analog-digital converter 116 can also be dispensed with, so that the photodiode array 305 is coupled to the respective outputs 303 of the AWG-DWDM demultiplexer 302 via a beveled edge 304, via which a division of the individual partial signals can be tapped locally at output connections 306 which are preferably arranged at a distance of 2.5 ⁇ m. 2, the calibration of the optical channel monitoring chip 300 is explained in more detail.
