Abstract
We present a field trial of an inband OSNR monitor based on polarization extinction. The field trial was carried out at the GIGA network, in the presence of significant artifacts due to the use of dispersion compensators based on FBG technology. The monitor is demonstrated to measure OSNR values from 5 to 35 dB with ±0.6 dB accuracy, for optical power levels above -40 dBm.
