Abstract

A technique for the estimation of an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) using machine learning algorithms has been proposed. The algorithms are trained with parameters derived from eye-diagram via simulation in 10 Gb/s On-Off Keying (OOK) nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data signal. The performance of different machine learning (ML) techniques namely, multiple linear regression, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) for OSNR estimation in terms of mean square error and R-squared value has been compared. The proposed methods may be useful for intelligent signal analysis in a test instrument and to monitor optical performance.
