    Optical Receiver Front End

    The optical front end (OFE) is a critical part in most Optical Wireless Communica-tion (OWC) systems. It captures the incoming light flux, converts it and amplifies it into an electrical signal. We present the design, fabrication, and measurement of a monolithically integrated optical receiver analog front end, where low power operation is a primary consideration with a goal of supporting 56 Gbaud intensity modulated direct detect transceivers. The term direct detection refers to the receiver configuration, where the received.

  • Sensitivity of the optical receiver module

    Sensitivity of the optical receiver module

    Receiver sensitivity is the lowest optical power level at which an optical receiver can successfully decode data with acceptable bit error rates (BER). It's a core parameter in optical transceiver specifications, indicating the module's capability to detect weak incoming signals. Understanding what each parameter represents is fundamental before applying them in optical link design. For example, SONET specifies that the BER must be 10 -10 or better.

  • What does AGC mean in an optical receiver

    What does AGC mean in an optical receiver

    Automatic Gain Control (AGC) was implemented in first radios for the reason of fading propagation (defined as slow variations in the amplitude of the received signals) which required continuing adjustments in the receiver's gain in order to maintain a relative constant output signal. Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator. AGC keeps output levels steady, so you don't have to keep fiddling with the volume knob every time the signal changes. It's one of those features you barely. Even when wavelengths undergo gain amplification or attenuation, or when the optical signal fluctuates, it will not affect the optical power of other channels. This can prevent bit errors caused by changes in the upper and lower wavelengths.
