    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods for optical filter fault localization. The optical filter fault localization is based on: i) determining an accumulated noise density at frequencies where ASE noise is filtered out by a faulty optical filter in an optical signal; ii) comparing the accumulated noise density with predicted accumulated noise densities, the predicted accumulated noise densities representing noises predicted from a plurality of optical filters to a receiver; and iii) determining, based on the comparison of the accumulated noise density and the predicted accumulated noise densities, a location of the faulty optical filter.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring impairment includes: receiving a first received waveform sent by the coherent receiver; obtaining a second received waveform including a first sub-waveform and a second sub-waveform with a relative first delay therebetween according to the first received waveform; obtaining a template at a predetermined location on the fiber link according to the second received waveform, wherein the template is used for representing a nonlinear noise by a first sub-signal waveform and a second sub-signal waveform at the predetermined location that are respectively obtained from the first sub-waveform and the second sub-waveform and have the first delay therebetween; obtaining a correlation between the second received waveform and the template; changing a value of the first delay to obtain values of the correlation corresponding to different values of the first delay; and outputting a value of the first delay corresponding to a maximum value of the correlation as impairment estimation.
