TL;DR
This paper introduces a novel in-band perturbation method for estimating optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) in single-channel amplified links by modeling perturbed spectra and separating noise components.
Contribution
It presents a new approach using in-band perturbations and least mean square fitting to accurately estimate OSNR, achieving low standard deviation.
Findings

Effective separation of nonlinear noise from ASE noise
Applicable to single-channel amplified optical links
Abstract
Perturbed spectra are modelled to estimate OSNR for a single channel amplified link. Perturbation-dependent nonlinear noise is separated from constant ASE noise using a set of propagated perturbed spectra. A least mean square fitting is used to estimate OSNR with standard deviation of 0.16 dB.
