Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a transponder comprising a transmitter and a receiver. The transponder further comprises a receiver input amplifier, a bypass line, and a control unit configured for determining the performance of the transponder in relation to an OSNR related parameter, by controlling the transponder to generate a noise signal to be received by the receiver. The receiver input amplifier is operated to thereby cause ASE in the receiver input amplifier to facilitate the determination. A test signal is generated at the transmitter Said noise signal and said test signal, and/or one or more respective replicas thereof, are superimposed to form a combined signal to be received by said receiver to further facilitate determination of said performance related parameter based on said combined signal, wherein for generating said combined signal, said test signal is fed from the transmitter to the receiver by means of said bypass line.
Abstract:
A received optical signal is coherently demodulated and converted into electrical complex samples (p(n); (px(n), py(n)), which are dispersion compensated in a compensation filter (11). A control circuit (12, 13, 14, 15) calculates comparison values (R1, R2) from corrected samples q(n) and an estimated error value (εMIN).A plurality of compensation function (T(M)) is applied according to a predetermined dispersion (CD) range and after a second iteration is the compensation filter (11) set to an optimum compensation function (T(M)).
Abstract:
A method for processing data in an optical network element is provided, wherein a multicarrier signal is linear pre-coded, and wherein the linear pre-coded signal is modulated. An according optical network element is also suggested.
Abstract:
A received POLMUX signal is rotated by fixed rotation parameters (Rot0, Rot1, Rot2) and the rotated POLMUX signal with optimal signal performance is selected and phase information is derived from both polarities. A pre-filter improves the timing accuracy.

Abstract:
Component signal values are derived from component signals and fed to at least one fixed equalizer which generates equalizer output signals. The signals are fed to phase error detectors generating phase error signals. The phase error signals are combined with further phase error signals derived by further error detectors receiving signal values from further equalizers and/or the component signal values directly from sample units.
