Abstract:
We demonstrate longitudinal power monitoring with piecewise linear fitting for a PON using a simplified coherent receiver employing Alamouti coding. Simulation results and experimental validation gives a lumped loss / splitter localisation of 0.16 km and 0.28 km respectively and an accuracy of 0.04 dB.
