When light passes through a passive optical component, the decrease in optical power is termed insertion loss. This is a fundamental concept in optical transmission where every component like connectors, splices, splitters, or filters adds some level of power attenuation. Managing insertion loss is crucial to maintain overall system performance, especially in long-haul or dense WDM systems where accumulated loss can degrade the signal. HCIP-Transmission emphasizes the importance of measuring and minimizing insertion loss to ensure system stability and reach requirements are met.

In coherent transmission systems, the non-standard incident optical power is measured at the output port of the transmit-end OA board, making that board output the reference point.

In burst mode, an OTUk_DEG alarm is triggered when bit errors cause signal degradation, even if the error count threshold isn’t crossed.

In burst mode, the alarm also occurs if the number of bit errors within the detection window exceeds the configured threshold.
