Abstract:
Two polarization-independent Michelson fiber inter
ferometers
with different optical delays were used to measure
the in-band OSNR of an
optical signal from 5 to 30dB within an accuracy of
0.5dB. Using an
expansion of the amplitude autocorrelation function
of the signal around
zero delay, it was possible to perform measurements
without any prior
knowledge of the signal. The system is shown to be
immune to the effects
of modulation frequency (up to 10G), partially and
fully polarized noise,
chromatic dispersion and poorly biased modulators.
