Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to be operatively coupled to a first optical transponder and a second optical transponder. The processor is configured to receive, from the second optical transponder, a signal representing a skew value of an optical signal and a signal representing a bit-error-rate (BER) value of the optical signal. The skew value is associated with a skew between an in-phase component of the optical signal and a quadrature component of the optical signal. The processor is configured to determine, based on at least one of the skew value or the BER value, if a performance degradation of the first optical transponder satisfies a threshold. The processor is configured to send a control signal to the first optical transponder to adjust a pulse shaping or a data baud rate of the first optical transponder.

Claim (Index 21):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the wavelength characteristic of the transmitter channel includes at least one of a center wavelength value or a bandwidth.
