Abstract

Symbol-level fiber-longitudinal power profile estimation (PPE) greatly reduces the implementation complexity compared with the waveform-level PPE using oversampled data. However, symbol-rate data cannot account for the inter-sample interaction, which leads to inaccuracy of the absolute power estimation. To realize an accurate symbol-level PPE, we provide an in-depth analysis of the differences between symbol-level and waveform-level perturbation matrices and propose a power calibration method based on the trace of the inverse matrix. Evaluated in the probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) 64QAM 130 Gbaud 5 × 50 km optical links, the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the symbol-level PPE decreases by 0.98 and 0.62 dB at erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) positions and all estimated positions with the aid of matrix calibration.
