An Accurate and Robust PDL Monitor by Digital Signal Processing in Coherent Receiver

An accurate and robust PDL monitor based on receiver side DSP is proposed and experimentally verified. The standard deviation of monitor error is 0.1 dB and the method tolerates various imperfections, such as unsynchronized clock.
