Evaluation of fiber-optic error rates using a normalizing transform

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new approximate technique for evaluating performance of digital fiber-optic systems employing an avalanche photodiode receiver is presented. The essence of the new technique is a point transformation, the normalizing transform, which converts the signal-dependent noise associated with photodetection and avalanche gain fluctuations into signal-independent noise. The new technique is as simple as a Gaussian approximation yet is more accurate.
