Eye graphing instruments are inaccurate in measuring extinction ratio

The accuracy of the extinction ratio measurement can be affected by offsets, including the dark level, generated within the instrument electronics, typically following the photo diode. Offsets add to the incoming signal changing the values of the one and zero levels. Learn more about the factors affecting IOP measurements in the eye doctor"s office and how even a patient"s. Extinction Ratio (ER) is the ratio of the optical power when the transmitter is in the logic 1 state (P₁) to the optical power when it is in the logic 0 state (P₀): Higher ER: Stronger contrast between “on” and “off,” making signals easier to detect. Lower ER: Weak contrast, leading to. The PAM Outer Extinction Ratio meas...
