This paper proposes and demonstrates an Optical Signal Noise Ratio(OSNR) monitoring scheme using the signal power nonlinear transformation and Deep Neural Networks(DNN). The features of signal after 2

transformation and corresponding Fast Fourier Transformation(FFT) depend on the OSNR of signal. By utilizing the DNN to extract those OSNR depended specific features
the OSNR value can be estimated. Simulation results for 28 Gbaud Polarization Division Multiplexing(PDM)-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(QPSK)
