ABSTRACT:
A method for determining signal quality in optical transmission systems, wherein the effective signal-to-noise ratio is determined by measuring amplitude histograms of a signal and by calculating characteristic histogram moments and additional interference is ascertained by comparing the characteristic histogram moments with the optical signal-to-noise ratio.
