<p>Techniques are provided for estimation of the chromatic dispersion (CD) in an optical signal received by an optical receiver. The techniques involve iteratively adjusting dispersion compensation coefficients of one or more filters configured to compensate for the CD in the received optical signal. At each iteration of the dispersion compensation coefficient adjustment, electrical domain signals are filtered to generate digitally-filtered signals. The electrical domain signals are generated based on the received optical signal. Also at each iteration of the dispersion compensation coefficient adjustment, an amplitude histogram of the digitally-filtered signals is generated. The amplitude histograms generated at each iteration are evaluated to generate an estimate of the chromatic dispersion in the received optical signal.</p> |
