Abstract

We present optical performance monitoring from the equalizer filter setting of an FPGA-based realtime 43 Gb/s polarization diverse coherent receiver. Chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion of the optical transmission link are independently estimated from the blindly adapted equalizer filter. The accuracy of the estimates is demonstrated based on measurements.
