Channel monitoring is an essential topic for optical WDM channels. In the first part of this thesis, a novel bit error rate (BER) estimation technique based on multi-Gaussian curve fitting on amplitude histogram is proposed. Computer simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the new...
