OSNR/GSNR Prediction in Brownfield Links via a DLM-Anchored Hybrid Physics/ML Model

Agastya Raj, Venkata Virajit Garbhapu, Hiroyuki Ishihara +5

We present a DLM-anchored hybrid physics/ML framework for brownfield optical links that accurately predicts per-channel power, OSNR, and GSNR. Calibrating span/ILA boundaries via D…
