Abstract
Systems and methods include causing perturbations across optical spectrum; probing responses across some or all of the optical spectrum after the perturbations; and determining a nonlinear transfer function based on the responses. The nonlinear transfer function can include a representation of any of end-to-end channel powers, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Noise-to-Signal Ratio (NSR), Bit Error Rate (BER), Q, and Mean Squared Error (MSE).
