title: New bit-error-rate monitoring technique based on histograms and curve fitting.
abstract: We propose a new method for estimating the bit error rate (BER) of optical channels suffering from crosstalk and waveform distortion. We demonstrate experimentally that the new method can provide a good BER estimation with an error range less than one order of magnitude.
