OSNR and nonlinear noise power estimation for optical fiber communication systems using LSTM based deep learning technique

Abstract

The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and fiber nonlinearity are critical factors in evaluating the performance of high-speed optical fiber communication systems. Recently, several deep learning based methods have been put forward to monitor OSNR of a fiber communication system. In this work, we propose a long short-term memory (LSTM) network based method to simultaneously estimate OSNR and nonlinear noise power caused by fiber nonlinearity. In the training step, LSTM network extracts the essential features in frequency domain of the input signal. Then, with the built model in the training step, the LSTM output the OSNR and nonlinear noise power of the signal under test. The simulation by VPI software is carried on a 5-channel long haul optical transmission system with the launched optical power of -3.0~ + 3.0dBm per channel. The results show that the test error of OSNR is less than 1.0dB with the reference OSNR from 15 to 30dB for QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM signal. The test error of nonlinear noise power is less than 1.0dB for QPSK and 16QAM signal when the Laser linewidth is 6 KHz and 100 KHz respectively. The proposed method is a promising candidate for nonlinearity-insensitive OSNR and accurate nonlinear noise power estimation in multi-channel long haul optical fiber communication systems.

A Density Clustering Algorithm for Simultaneous Modulation Format Identification and OSNR Estimation

“…It can be explained that the ASE noise power is too low and the algorithm cannot extract the change of density information of clusters. As a result, OSNR estimation will have more deviation [45]. Table 1 shows the neighborhood parameters of five different MFs.…”

AI-Based Modeling and Monitoring Techniques for Future Intelligent Elastic Optical Networks

“…The mean absolute error can be significantly reduced from 0.4 to 0.04 dB compared with other ML algorithms. In [65], OSNR and nonlinear noise power are monitored simultaneously based on frequency domain signals. In [66], to identify the impairment causing the transmission degradation, SVM can accurately make classifications between CD, PMD and noncoherent crosstalk.…”
