Nonlinearity-tolerant in-band OSNR monitoring for synchronous traffic using gated-signal RF spectral analysis

We demonstrate a new in-band OSNR monitoring scheme using RF spectral analysis of gated framing-signal of synchronous traffic. The proposed technique is simple and robust to fiber-nonlinearity induced polarization rotation in WDM systems
