Abstract
Feature
Issue on Optical Performance Monitoring (OPM). We report on the
performance of an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) monitor with the
polarization-nulling technique. The results show that this monitor was robust to
polarization-mode dispersion and in-band cross talk. For a demonstration, we
monitored the OSNR of the optical signal transmitted through a 2×60 km long aerial
fiber link for one week and confirmed that the OSNR could be measured with accuracy
better than ±0.3 dB (when the OSNR is lower than 26 dB).
