Quality of Transmission (QoT) refers to the measure of the effectiveness and reliability of data transmission over a communication network, particularly in optical networks. It assesses how well the transmitted data maintains its integrity and accuracy from the sender to the receiver. QoT is influenced by various factors such as signal degradation, noise, and distortions that occur during transmission.

Optical Line Physical Parameters Calibration in Presence of EDFA Total Power Monitors

A method is proposed in order to improve QoT-E by calibrating the physical model parameters of an optical link post-installation, using only total power monitors integrated into the EDFAs and an OSA at the receiver.
