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 1):
A method, comprising:\n sending, to a finite impulse response (FIR) filter of an optical transmitter, a first signal to adjust a first scale factor of a first tributary channel of the optical transmitter, the first scale factor associated with a tap characteristic of the FIR filter; determining a first set of parameters associated with the first tributary channel based on the first scale factor being adjusted; determining a power imbalance between the first tributary channel of the optical transmitter and a second tributary channel of the optical transmitter based on the first set of parameters and a second set of parameters associated with the second tributary channel, the second set of parameters associated with a second scale factor of the second tributary channel and the tap characteristic of the FIR filter; and sending, to at least one of an optical component of the optical transmitter or an electrical component of the optical transmitter, a second signal to adjust, based on the power imbalance, an operational setting of the at least one of the optical component or the electrical component to reduce the power imbalance between the first tributary channel and the second tributary channel.
