Abstract

An optical signal measurement method includes: measuring a power pi of a first optical signal on a target frequency band at a moment Ti, and measuring a power qi of a second optical signal on the target frequency band at a moment Ti+Δt, where the first optical signal is a signal detected in an optical signal transmission source, the second optical signal is a signal detected on a to-be-measured node, and Δt is a transmission duration of transmitting an optical signal from the optical signal transmission source to the to-be-measured node. The method further includes determining an optical signal-to-noise ratio on the to-be-measured node based on a power array P=[p1, pN] of the first optical signal on the target frequency band and a power array Q=[q1, qN] of the second optical signal on the target frequency band.
