We design a quadrature phase-shift keying training sequence (QPSK-TS) for monitoring both optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and chromatic dispersion (CD) in a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system.

Description
Summary:We design a quadrature phase-shift keying training sequence (QPSK-TS) for monitoring both optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and chromatic dispersion (CD) in a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system. By applying fast Fourier transform on the QPSK-TS, a comb-like spectrum with discrete peaks can be obtained. OSNR can be calculated by measuring the power of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise in the gaps between these peaks. Moreover, we search the optimal order in the fractional domain to calculate the CD after applying fractional Fourier transform on the QPSK-TS signal. The proposed method shows large ASE noise and optical nonlinearity tolerance in simulation results (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$&lt;$</tex-math></inline-formula>1.0 dB error within 24 dB after transmission over 1000 km with 3 dBm per channel launch power, and <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$&lt;$ </tex-math></inline-formula>90 ps/nm error within 33400 ps/nm). Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrate high accuracy of the proposed method (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\leq$</tex-math></inline-formula>1.0 dB error within 28 dB and <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$&lt;$</tex-math></inline-formula>40 ps/nm error within 1670&#x00A0;ps/nm after 100 km single channel transmission).
