  • Publication number: 20250132828
    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.

  • Patent number: 11539431
    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.

  • Patent number: 11405104
    Abstract: Systems and methods for longitudinal performance monitoring of an optical communication line communicably connecting a transmitting device to a receiving device for transmitting a signal therebetween. The method comprises receiving the signal at the receiving device, the signal having been affected by propagative impairments accumulated along the optical communication line, generating, at the receiving device, a linear signal based on the received signal, generating, based on the linear signal, a plurality of signal templates, and determining correlation values between the received signal and each signal template of the plurality of signal templates, each correlation value being indicative of a local longitudinal performance of the optical communication line.
