System and method for measuring an amount of error associated with an optical amplifier

An optical signal having optical energy is received at an optical amplifier. The optical signal may be separated into a low frequency segment and a high frequency segment. The high frequency segment and the low frequency segment may be processed in order to determine a low frequency error signal and...

Zusammenfassung:An optical signal having optical energy is received at an optical amplifier. The optical signal may be separated into a low frequency segment and a high frequency segment. The high frequency segment and the low frequency segment may be processed in order to determine a low frequency error signal and a high frequency error signal. The low frequency error signal may be summed with the high frequency error signal in order to generate a total error change associated with the optical amplifier.
