    摘要: Method and apparatus for real time measuring of an optical signal to noise ration (OSNR) of an optical channel is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a fiber Bragg grating for reflecting a signal component of the optical channel and for transmitting a noise component of the optical channel therethrough. Two photodetectors are provided disposed at two ends of the fiber Bragg grating for detecting a fraction of the reflected signal component and the transmitted noise component respectively. Electrical outputs of the photodetectors are communicated to a microprocessor for determining the OSNR. The invention provides a simple, compact, reliable, relatively fast and inexpensive technique to monitor OSNR.

    摘要: Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) of an optical device, i.e. fiber or component is effected by launching a first pump laser beam of a fixed wavelength, a probe laser beam with a second fixed wavelength and a second pump laser beam having a variable wavelength and a polarization direction orthogonal to the other two beams into an optical device to generate three output signals which are input into a semiconductor optical amplifier to generate four-wave mixing (FWM) products. The average PMD of the device is computed by measuring the power of the FWM products versus the wavelength of the second pump laser beam.
