Experimental Dataset

This dataset has been developed within the framework of the project AI-NET-PROTECT (KIS8CEL010, FKZ 16KIS1282), funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the project B5G-OPEN (grant agreement 101016663), funded by the European Commission.

Overview

The presented dataset is a set of experimental traces generated in a laboratory testbed. All samples were collected from laboratory experiments carried out within the systems laboratory of the Photonic Networks and Systems Department at Fraunhofer HHI. Each sample is comprised of an experiment from a straight-line coherent optical setup, where the configuration is defined by a permutation of the parameters in Table 1. The dataset contains QoT information, constellation diagrams and other relevant data from the physical layer such as digital signal processing (DSP) results and spectral profiles for each distinct scenario.
