Proactive and Nondisruptive Channel Probing for Wavelength Switching in Optical Transmission

Proactive and nondisruptive channel probing is investigated for the measurement of channel power, amplifier channel gain, and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) without disrupting established wavelength-division multiplexed channels. Using a nondisruptive probe signal over a three-span link, wavel...
