All-Optical Performance Monitoring of Multi-Bitrate and Multi-Format Signals based on Optical Sampling for Transparent Optical Networks

摘要

All-optical performance monitoring based on optical sampling was proposed for multi-bitrate and multi-format signals in transparent optical networks. The performance of 42.7-Gb/s RZ DQPSK and 10.7-Gb/s RZ DPSK signals were successfully monitored and correlated with actually measured BER.
