Abstract:
Using pump-probe measurements on multi-span optical links may result in the determination of one or more of the following: 1) wavelength-dependent power profile and gain evolution along the optical link; 2) wavelength-dependent dispersion map; and 3) location of regions of high polarization-dependent loss (PDL) and polarization-mode dispersion (PMD). Such measurements may be a useful diagnostic for maintenance and upgrade activities on deployed cables as well as for commissioning new cables.

Claim (Index 16):
The monitoring system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the first transmitter is to generate the first modulated optical carrier by modulating an in-service channel at the first wavelength to carry the pump pulses.
