Factors affecting the receiver sensitivity of optical modules

Abstract - The sensitivity characteristics of optical receiver frontends for high-speed data communications depend on modulation format, detector type, and specific operational constraints. A larger receiver sensitivity indicates poorer receiver performance. What Is BER? The bit error rate (BER) measures the data transmission precision within. In optical communication systems, sensitivity is a measure of how weak an input signal can get before the bit-error ratio (BER) exceeds some specified number. For example, SONET specifies that the BER must be 10 -10 or better. It denotes a module's capability to function in challenging environments and aids network operators in determining the system's...
