From the network operators point of view, monitoring techniques are required to estab
35、lish connections, protection, restoration, and/or service level agreements. In order to establish these functions, the monitoring techniques used should satisfy some general requirements: in-service (non-intrusive) measurement, signal deterioration detection (both SNR degradation and waveform distor
36、tion), fault isolation (localize impaired sections or nodes), transparency and scalability (irrespective of the signal bit rate and signal formats), and simplicity (small size and low cost). There are several approaches, both analog and digital techniques, that make it possible to detect various imp
37、airments: bit error rate (BER) estimation 1,2, error block detection, optical power measurement, optical SNR evaluation with spectrum measurement 3, 4, pilot tone detection 5,6, Q-factor monitoring 7, pseudo BER estimation using two decision circuits 8,9, and histogram evaluation with synchronous ey
38、e diagram measurement 10. A fundamental performance monitoring parameter of any digital transmission system is its end-to-end BER. However, the BER can be correctly evaluated only with outside service BER measurements, using a known test bit pattern in place of the real signal. On the other hand, in
39、-service measurement can only provide rough estimates through the measurement of digital parameters (e.g., BER estimation, error block detection, and error count in forward error correction) or analog parameters (e.g., optical SNR and Q-factor). What has been much desired and studied is some methods
40、 for signal quality monitoring that will provide a good measure of signal quality without the complexity of termination. When the system BER is too low to be measured within a reasonable length of time, it is useful to adopt Q-factor measurements. However, all sampling-based methods require synchron
41、ization and then some analysis, which makes them similar to protocol-aware termination in terms of cost and complexity. In fact, synchronous sampling requires timing extraction by complex equipment that is specific to each BER and each format. The above situation has, fortunately, very recently begu
42、n to change. A simple, asynchronous histogram method was developed for Q-factor measurement 11,12. Different degradation types (i.e., SNR degradation and wavelength distortion due to chromatic dispersion) can be monitored 13, thus providing information about the origin of the degradations 14. Asynch
43、ronous sampling allows bit-rate independent Q-factor monitoring, and the same equipment covers bit rates of up to 160 Gbit/s 15. Moreover, the monitoring is applied to both NRZ and RZ optical signals 11, and is independent of the bit rate and signal format used by the wavelength division multiplexed
44、 (WDM) channel 16. Performance monitoring can be performed at different monitoring points such as optical line repeaters, regenerators, or optical switching nodes (requires pre-measurement) 17. In other words, this method is expected to be applied to the monitoring points where electrical terminatio
45、n is impossible. If we think of the future all-optical network, an optical switching node has performance monitoring without electrical regeneration. Average Q-factor, Qavg, measurement through asynchronous sampling is a cost-effective alternative to BER measurements. This is one of the promising pe
46、rformance-monitoring approaches for intensity modulated direct detection (IM-DD) optical transmission systems. This method can be utilized for monitoring both relative and absolute values of optical signal quality. EN 61280-2-11:2006 6 With the averaged Q-factor obtained from amplitude histogram par
47、ameters (the standard deviation and average level), the over-all effect of the optical signal quality degradations due to the integral of the causes (such as ASE and Chromatic dispersion) can be monitored. Due to asynchronous sampling scheme, the averaged Q-factor is insensitive to the optical signa
48、l quality variations created by timing jitter. The following sections define the averaged Q-factor and provide a procedure to measure the optical signal quality via the averaged Q-factor. With the amplitude histogram parameters, it is also possible to distinguish the origins of the BER degradation (
49、SNR degradation, waveform distortion). The information about the dependence of the amplitude histogram parameters on OSNR and chromatic dispersion is shown in Annex F (informative). 0.2 Averaged Q-factor formula Figure 1 uses a typical asynchronous eye-pattern and its amplitude histogram, obtained by asynchronous optical sampling, to illustrate th
