Abstract
The results are described of experiments carried out to determine the effects of transient losses caused by working party operations on British Telecom´s current and future optical networks. Results show that even systems operating with 19 dB of optical margin above the nominal 10-9 bit error rate operating point can still be affected by transient attenuation losses
