    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods for detecting mirror crosstalk between frequency bands equally above and below the center frequency of a Digital Subcarrier Multiplexing system include: a transmitter configured to insert zero-power symbols on half the frequency bands below center frequency, and insert other zero-power symbols, partially overlapping in time with the first zero-power symbols, on the other half of the frequency bands above center frequency. A receiver zeroes out ASE and other noises during the overlapping portion of all the zero-power symbols, then uses the power detected during the remaining portion of each zero-power symbol in each frequency band to accurately evaluate the mirror crosstalk from the corresponding frequency band on the opposite side of center frequency.
