In-Band Estimation of Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio From Equalized Signals in Digital Coherent Receivers

We propose a novel method of in-band estimation of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) using a digital coherent receiver, where OSNR is determined from second- and fourth-order statistical moments of equalized signals in any modulation format. Our proposed method is especially important in recently...
