OSNR Monitoring of a 1.28 Tbaud Signal by Interferometry Inside a Wavelength-Selective Switch

We demonstrate in-band OSNR monitoring using a reconfigurable wavelength-selective switch of ultrahigh bandwidth 1.28 Tbaud signals. Further experiments show the method's resilience against other impairments such as group velocity dispersion and differential group delay.
