    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for applying pilot tone modulations to optical signals by introducing bias bits to data frames carried on the optical signals. Since the modulation is done by modifying data, the modulation depth is accurate, and there is no need for calibration or feedback control, which can improve power monitoring accuracy and simplify implementation. In an embodiment, a transmitter determines a period of a pilot tone modulation for tracking or identifying an optical channel. The transmitter inserts a sequence of bias bits, periodically according to the determined period, in a plurality of frames comprising original data bits. The amplitudes of the optical signals carrying the frames are modulated at a higher frequency than the pilot tone modulation. The optical signals are then transmitted including the bias bits within the frames.

    Abstract: During optical performance monitoring in low SNR conditions, the detection of pilot data may be more difficult because the detector may mistake noise for the pilot data signal. Systems and methods are disclosed herein that try to address this problem. In one embodiment, a pilot tone detector processes the received signal to determine a maximum correlation peak, and then performs tracking of the correlation peak over time. Unlike the pilot data signal, noise is typically more transient in nature. Therefore, if a correlation peak does not actually correspond to the pilot data signal, but instead corresponds to noise, then the correlation peak typically disappears over time when tracked. A search for a new correlation peak may then be performed. When a correlation peak is determined that actually corresponds to the pilot data signal, then the correlation peak typically remains when tracked.
