Polarization-nulling method for monitoring OSNR in WDM network

This paper reviews the current status of the OSNR monitoring techniques based on the polarization-nulling method. The results show that the polarization-nulling method can be used for monitoring OSNR in a dynamic WDM network and enhance its operation and maintenance
