Abstract:
In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor comprises code to cause the processor to determine, during a calibration of a coherent optical transmitter, a set of parameters associated with each tributary channel by sending a first signal to a digital signal processor (DSP) to adjust a scale factor of that tributary channel. The scale factor is associated with a tap characteristic of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter of the DSP. The code further causes the processor to determine a power imbalance between two tributary channels based on the set of parameters associated with each tributary channel. The code further causes the processor to send a second signal to the coherent optical transmitter to adjust a set of operational settings of the coherent optical transmitter based on the power imbalance and the set of parameters associated with each tributary channel.

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein:\n the processor is configured to:\n receive, in response to the first scale factor being adjusted to a first scale factor value, a fourth signal associated with a first total output power value of an optical signal at the first scale factor value, the optical signal being output by the optical transmitter, \n receive, in response to the first scale factor being adjusted to a second scale factor value, a fifth signal associated with a second total output power value of the optical signal at the second scale factor value; \n determine a slope of power change based on the first total output power value at the first scale factor value and the second total output power value at the second scale factor value; \n the determining the power difference between the first tributary channel and the second tributary channel is based on the slope of power change.
