Main objective of this presentation is to provide the characteristics of the optical receiver in terms of maximum achievable trans-impedance, bandwidth, and minimum achievable noise, considering limiting factors of Si-PIN and CMOS technologies. Our goal is to develop equivalent circuit models that will accurately describe the noise performance of an optical receiver. Once we have. OSNR for each level and for complete signal can be defined The signal at the output of an optical amplifier in response to a noise free signal at the input is The following formulation accounts for all noise terms that can be treated as Gaussian noise due to the optical amplifier At the receiver. ABSTRACT: The performance of an optical receiver in a digital optical communication link is studied. In the design of an optical receiver, it is vital that the module is capable of converting and shaping the optical signal while meeting or surpassing the maximum BER. Technical characteristics provided in this. Analysis of optical amplifier noise in coherent optical communication systems with optical image rejection receivers.
