Optimizing Optical Networks with ALLEGRO: Advancing Power Optimization & AI in QoT Estimation

In ALLEGRO, we’ve been diving deep into innovative methods to enhance pre-tilt power optimization and improve AI-driven GSNR and LP QoT estimation. Our latest study demonstrates how solving interrelated inverse differential equations can optimize pre-tilt power, achieving:

Fast computation – Optimal power levels per span in just seconds
Enhanced GSNR – Boosting average channel GSNR by up to 0.5 dB
Maximized span capacity – Ensuring a uniform OSNR while mitigating Interchannel SRS (ISRS) effects

🔍 Key Findings:
📌 Pre-tilt power strategies outperform uniform launch power in terms of span capacity and OSNR uniformity
📌 A 0.5 dB GSNR improvement per span enables up to 30% of LPs to upgrade to higher modulation formats
📌 Implementing optical gain equalizers in ROADMs and inline amplifiers balances the trade-off between performance gains and economic feasibility

As the industry pushes toward more efficient optical networks, these advancements in power optimization and AI-driven models mark an important step forward. Exciting times ahead!
