Abstract: A method for providing a maximum channel capacity per optical channel in an optical wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, transmission system is described. The WDM transmission system includes transceivers using multiple optical channels in a WDM channel grid to transport optical signals modulated with a modulation format with a signal symbol rate, SR, via an optical transmission link, OTL, along an optical path from a transmitting transceiver to a receiving transceiver. A channel capacity of the optical channel is maximized while a calculated channel margin, CM, is maintained above a preset minimal channel margin value.

Abstract: A chromatic dispersion compensation apparatus for automatic compensation of chromatic dispersion of signals transmitted via an optical link at predetermined wavelengths of WDM channels within a predetermined band. A tapping unit taps optical signals received by the chromatic dispersion compensation apparatus via the optical link at predetermined wavelengths and supply them to an optical coherent receiver adapted to tune its local oscillator to WDM channels to generate corresponding analog electrical signals of the WDM channels which are sampled by an analog digital converter to provide digital signal samples of WDM channels processed by a digital signal processor of the chromatic dispersion compensation apparatus to calculate an estimate residual chromatic dispersion value of the received optical signals. A tuneable dispersion compensation module is set to perform optical compensation of a residual chromatic dispersion of the received optical signals depending on calculated estimate residual chromatic dispersion value of the received optical signals.

Abstract: A method for determining a maximum transmission capacity, TCAPMAX-OL, of an optical link, OL, within an optical network includes loading an optical transmission spectrum of the optical link, OL, being partially occupied by at least one data traffic carrying channel, CH, with amplified spontaneous emission, ASE, noise spectrally shaped such that the transmission performance of the optical transmission spectrum fully occupied with data traffic carrying channels, CHs, is matched. The method further includes determining the maximum transmission capacity, TCAPMAX-OL, of the optical link, OL, on the basis of measured link data transported through the optical link, OL, via the at least one data traffic carrying channel, CH.

Abstract: The length of the optical fiber section under tension expands by a certain amount that is proportional to the level of tension applied to it. Monitoring the variations in the phase of the arriving signal allows to discover a fiber that is subject to a certain level of mechanical tension. With the method and apparatus according to the present invention it is possible to protect optical communication channels against failures in an optical transmission fiber that are caused by any kind of mechanical disturbances.
