Summary
Calibration Issues of OSA-180/500/501
Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSA) provide information of

the optical power over the wavelength.
All JDSU OSA-180/500/501/320 provide internal

wavelength and relative optical power calibration.
No recalibration of wavelength and relative optical power is required.

NOTE: As absolute optical power measurements mainly depend on the health of the optical interface an inspection of the optical front connector is recommended every two years.
26
Wavelength Calibration
OSA-180/500/501/320 provide built-in, physical constant wavelength reference for online interruption-free calibration.

Since the pattern of absorption pits of the Acetylene gas is a physical constant no wavelength recalibration is required over lifetime.
Power Calibration
The JDSU OSA modules OSA-180/500/501/320 are based on an internal calibrated optical power meter. The wavelength dependence and the linearity of the optical power meter are calibrated in the factory. Calibration data is stored individually for each instrument in internal memory. For measurement of relative power (OSNR, channel power difference ...) no recalibration is required.
NOTE: A recalibration period of two years is recommended for absolute power measurements The abs. optical power accuracy mainly depends on the condition (insertion loss) of the optical front connector. From experiences with physical contact optical connectors Acterna recommends a regular check of the front connector.
28
How to Check the abs. Power Accuracy

Use a stable narrow-band optical source in the wavelength range 1530-1560nm (e.g. DFB-Laser) DFB
source
1. Make a reference measurement of optical power with a DFB-laser and a calibrated power meter (e.g. OLP-55) 2. Connect DFB-source to OSA and perform a measurement. Initiate a recalibration if OSA peak level differs more than specified abs. power accuracy.
NOTE: even with bad optical front connectors accurate measurements of relative power (e.g. OSNR and power difference) can be made

New ROADM testing

Summary
OSNR as Signal Quality Parameter
In an amplified system, one limiting factor is the distance of the signal to the optical noise, called Optical-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio OSNR This is a signal quality parameter, not a parameter of any transmission components or test equipment.

Spectral Difference of Signal and Noise

66
Definition of OSNR
The signal quality parameter OSNR must be independent of the receiver or the test equipment. Therefore the OSNR is de facto standardized to 0,1nm noise bandwidth:
total average power of the optical signal OSNR =
power of the noise measured in 0,1nm-BW
67
Noise Power Measurement with JDSU OSAs

Each JDSU-OSA is calibrated during manufacturing in the factory The optical filter bandwidth (Bo) is calibrated and stored individually for each instrument By knowing the optical filter BW (Bo) it is possible to calculate the noise power at 0.1nm noise bandwidth
Noise bandwidth can be set in instrument parameter setup menu

The ROADM network challenge

OSNR is the performance limiting parameter NEMs and operators need credible OSNR measurement during system installation, verification and maintenance. The standard OSA indicates wrong OSNR values
8-10dB or higher than true OSNR
An instrument to measure OSNR must provide the true-OSNR for every network topology (ROADMs) (Cisco, Tellabs, Nortel ) Need for accurate method to measure the OSNR

New OPS-Method (Optical Polarization Splitting Method)

( based on the polarization nulling technique ) + overcomes PMD sensitivity problems
New Optical Polarization Splitting Method

Assumption: - ASE noise consists of non polarized light. - Signal consists of arbitrarily polarized light. Use polarization nulling technique
Solution:
Signal suppression with polarization filter to measure the noise at signal wavelength => in-band noise
The OPS method: Optical Polarization Splitting method (JDSU Pat pending)
Separation of polarized light from non polarized noise by using
Variable polarization controller Polarization beam splitter + filter
Off-center, narrowband optical filtering

Simultaneous Dual-SOP measurements

Challenge: Cascaded ROADMs and Effective Bandwidth

1 Flat-top Filter
Different technologies of ROADMs have different filter shapes: Flat-top and Gaussian filter shapes Cascading ROADMs will create rounded = Gaussian filter shapes Cascading ROADMs will reduce effective filter bandwidth After only 6 cascaded filters the effective filter-BW will be reduced by ~40%
1 Gaussian Filter
20 Flat-top filters
20 Gaussian Filters
In ROADM networks both, the effective bandwidth and the filter shape are unknown, this leads to an unknown noise distribution inside the channel pass band.
=> In-Band OSNR measurements need to be able to cope with any effective ROADM filter shape
JDSUs Full Polarization Nulling (pat pending)

Measure Signal + Noise trace = standard OSA trace
Measure I-OSNR trace: = trace based on accumulation of max suppressed signal of all measurements (up to 1000 different pol. measurements )

Measurements are taken over entire pass band for each channel I-OSNR trace is based on real measurements Robust to PMD due to narrow measurement bandwidth and accumulation of multiple measurements Fitting to any noise distribution => works for all kind of filter shapes (flat top / Gaussian)
=> JDSUs Full Polarization Nulling provides the True OSNR result in all kind of ROADM networks
Technical Background: Pol. Nulling with Overlapping Spectra

OSA-500R
Challenge: XT due to Overlapping Spectra

Transmission of high data rates in DWDM networks with tight channel spacing Effective signal bandwidth can be larger than channel bandwidth Overlapping signal spectra will create crosstalk (XT) This may happen e.g. at 40Gbps transmitted over 50GHz channel spacing
Crosstalk (XT) due to overlapping spectra

88
Overlapping spectra: 3 channels 40Gbps with 50GHz channel spacing Crosstalk (XT) due to overlapping spectra Not possible to measure OSNR with conventional out-of-band OSNR method => Need for In-Band OSNR measurement
JDSUs solution: Full Polarization Nulling

Measure I-OSNR trace: = trace based on accumulation of max suppressed signal of all measurements (up to 1000 different pol. measurements ) Crosstalk (XT) leads to higher noise values at the border of channel pass band But:
I-OSNR trace
True InBand OSNR
No XT in center of channel pass band => high suppression = accurate in-band noise floor
OSA-trace
Higher I-OSNR trace due to XT
Measurements are taken over entire pass band for each channel I-OSNR trace is based on real measurements
In-Band noise is approximated to I-OSNR trace in center of channel pass band
=> JDSUs Full Polarization Nulling provides the True OSNR result in DWDM networks with overlapping spectra !

Summary
Regular OSA could overestimate OSNR results by up to 10dB. Inaccurate OSNR measurements can not be used to show the margin for further system channel upgrades Even high OSNR measurements will result in service failure after system upgrade JDSUs OPS-method is the ONLY field method that provides accurate and reliable measurements of the true OSNR in all ROADM deployment scenarios. With the true OSNR it is possible to indicate system margin to predict service quality after system upgrade and to avoid system outage.
Benefit of JDSU OSA-500R Solution

Second Generation of OSA with in-band OSNR measurement capability (successor of OSA-320) First OSA to provide true OSNR measurements in ROADM networks and in 40G networks wth tight channel spacing

99
New design for field and lab use

Less than the size of OSA-320
Additional conventional OSNR measurement possible Multi-channel operation Covers all bands (1250-1650nm) Low input power operation Suitable to measure OSNR in a live system Data rate and modulation format transparency Outstanding wavelength accuracy with built in wavelength calibrator =>needs no recalibration over lifetime Ultra high optical resolution to measure in UDWDM networks at 25GHz channel spacing Platform supports all field fiber tests (OTDR, CD, PMD + transport DS-1 to 10GigE/40G Sonet
