Paper Abstract
In modern WDM telecommunications, optical signals undergo an evolutionary degradation as a result of
ultra-high data rates (>10Gbps), very long fiber links (800 km), attenuation, non-linear photon-matter
interactions, noise and jitter. BER, Q-factor, SNR, NF and optical power level are among the key
parameters that determine channel performance. Typical channel performance relies on EDC codes, which
have a limited error detection capability and require several frames to estimate BER (only); EDCs detect up
to sixteen errors and correct up to eight within a block of information. We present a method, which is based
on statistical estimation of synchronous data sampling to construct two virtual statistical distributions from
which all performance parameters (not BER only) and signal power levels are estimated in real-time and without service interruption.
