  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the requirements for optical performance monitoring in all-optical networks. Investigations show that current monitoring technologies are not sufficient for the optically switched networks and that several performance monitoring operations need to be moved down to the physical layer. Furthermore, three experimental examples of optical performance monitoring are presented; dispersion monitoring, OSNR monitoring and all-optical parity checking.
