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 20):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a plurality of electrical components including a finite impulse response (FIR) filter; a plurality of optical components including an optical modulator having a first tributary channel and a second tributary channel; and a processor operatively coupled to the plurality of electrical components and the plurality of optical components, the processor configured to: send, to the FIR filter, a first signal to adjust a first scale factor of the first tributary channel, the first scale factor associated with a tap characteristic of the FIR filter, determine, based on the first scale factor being adjusted, a power imbalance between the first tributary channel and the second tributary channel, send, to at least one of the plurality of electrical components or the plurality of optical components, a second signal to adjust, based on the power imbalance, an operational setting of the at least one of the plurality of electrical components or the plurality of optical components to reduce the power imbalance between the first tributary channel and the second tributary channel.
