Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to send a stimulus signal at a frequency that corresponds to a first frequency value to a tributary channel of a coherent optical transponder. The processor is configured to adjust an amplitude of the stimulus signal and receive a first plurality of output optical power values. The processor is configured to adjust the frequency of the stimulus signal and receive a second plurality of output optical power values. The processor is configured to determine a bandwidth limitation and a modulation nonlinearity, and then send a first signal to a first filter to reduce the bandwidth limitation and a second signal to a second filter to reduce the modulation nonlinearity.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:\n receive, during a calibration mode of a coherent optical transponder, a test signal having a plurality of amplitude values and a plurality of frequency values; send the test signal to a tributary channel from a set of tributary channels of the coherent optical transponder; receive a first plurality of output optical power values in response to an amplitude of the test signal being adjusted between a first amplitude value of the plurality of amplitude values and a second amplitude value of the plurality of amplitude values when a frequency of the test signal is at a first frequency value from the plurality of frequency values; receive a second plurality of output optical power values in response to the amplitude of the test signal being adjusted between the first amplitude value of the plurality of amplitude values and the second amplitude value of the plurality of amplitude values when the frequency of the test signal is at a second frequency value from the plurality of frequency values; determine, based on the first plurality of output optical power values and the second plurality of output optical power values, a bandwidth limitation associated with the tributary channel and a modulation nonlinearity associated with the tributary channel; and send a signal to at least one of a plurality of electronic components or a plurality of optical components of the coherent optical transponder to reduce the bandwidth limitation or the modulation nonlinearity.
