Two-way Time Transfer Using Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Optical Fiber Technology

We transport the standard time signal by using the single-mode fiber (SMF) media through the synchronous optical network (SONET)/ synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) data signal, in which the time signal generated from the atomic clock was inserted into the unused bytes in the overhead of the SONET/SDH OC-3 155 Mb/s frame. Based on the NIST MODEM architecture, which was developed by the National Institute of Standard and Technology in the States, the time transfer system is composed of the control unit of the OC-3 transceiver module and the time-signal transmiting/receiving unit. We design and fabricate the required time-signal transmitting/receiving circuits and the control and monitoring circuits. The personal computer (PC) can read/write and monitor the operation status of the optical transceiver module through the control circuit, and the 1-PPS (pulse per second) time signal can therefore be read/written from/into the transceiver module. The frequency stability of about 2.6E-16 within one day can be achieved for this 1310-nm optical-fiber-based time transfer system over a 35-km SMF link without using electronic regererator. Such stability performance is comparable with that of today¡¦s GPS-based time transfer system.
