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 10):
The method as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising averaging the measurement on the probe pulse for the varying polarization states to obtain an averaged measurement, wherein calculating physical properties of the pump pulse from the measurement on the probe pulse comprises calculating the physical properties of the pump pulse from the averaged measurement.
