摘要: The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to monitoring performance of optical networks. Transmitted and received optical channel signal has both low-power gaps and an amplitude modulation pilot tone applied. The low-power gaps are applied at a gap frequency with gap power being lower than a signal power of the optical channel signal. The pilot tone is applied to the optical channel signal at a pilot tone modulation frequency, which is different from the gap frequency. Described methods include determining pilot tone modulation depth based on detected gap power in low-power gaps of the received optical channel signal. Amplifier spontaneous emission and nonlinear noise in optical link are detected separately. This permits determining and monitoring of optical signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要: The disclosed systems, apparatuses and methods are directed to controlling optical channel signal and an optical network equipment in optical networks. The methods comprise adjusting an optical channel spectrum based on bit error rates (BER) measured for a dithered optical channel signal. The optical channel spectrum is dithered such that a signal reference frequency is alternated between a first second signal reference frequency and a second signal reference frequency. BER is measured and analysed separately for the dithered signal reference frequency being detuned to the first and to the second signal reference frequencies. Based on a BER difference between BER at the first signal reference frequency and BER at the second signal reference frequency, the optical channel spectrum is shifted with regards to frequency in order to improve optical network performance.

摘要: The application provides a method for measuring a dispersion coefficient of an optical fiber. A network device sends a first optical supervisory channel (OSC) measurement signal and a second OSC measurement signal, where wavelengths of the first OSC measurement signal and the second OSC measurement signal are different. The network device receives the returned first OSC measurement signal and second OSC measurement signal, where the first OSC measurement signal and the second OSC measurement signal are transmitted through a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber to return to the network device, and the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber are a to-be-tested optical fiber. The network device determines a delay difference between the received first OSC measurement signal and second OSC measurement signal. The network device determines a dispersion coefficient of the to-be-tested optical fiber based on the delay difference.

摘要: A system for monitoring optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is provided. In some specific examples, the system may use a pilot tone power of a signal modulated with pilot tone to derive the pure signal power and the variance of the whole electric field to derive the total power (pure signal power plus amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power of the signal). The ASE power can be obtained by subtracting the pure signal power from the total power (ASE+pure signal). Once the ASE power and the pure signal power are known, the OSNR can be calculated.

摘要: The disclosure is directed at a method and system for optical telecommunications performance monitoring via a dual frequency pilot tone. By applying a dual frequency pilot tone, with a first pilot tone frequency selected from a low frequency band and a second pilot tone frequency selected from a high frequency band, either simultaneously or alternatively, to a wavelength channel, one of the pilot tone frequencies may be adaptively selected to improve wavelength channel monitoring. More specifically, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) caused crosstalk and chromatic dispersion (CD) caused pilot fading which adversely affect performance monitoring of the wavelength channel may be reduced.

摘要: A method to determine the types of optical fibers forming a link of an optical communication network. By scanning a signal's bit error rate at a receiver end, as a function of a pre-dispersion applied to a signal at a transmitter end, local minimums in the curve indicate the presence of amplifiers, and therefore fiber span extremities. By determining the accumulated dispersion at each fiber extremity, a ratio of dispersion per span length can be obtained and the span's coefficient of chromatic dispersion be inferred, thereby identifying the type of fiber. Alternatively, a signal's signal-to-noise ratio can be scanned, instead of its bit error rate. In a typical network, the required instrumentation is pre-existing.
