  • Can an optical module with too high a luminous power still be used

    Can an optical module with too high a luminous power still be used

    If the received light level is too high for the detector in an active node, the result of overdriving the detector can cause noise in the signal, or worse case even damage to the unit. Overload optical power, also known as saturated optical power, refers to the maximum average input optical power that can be received by the receiver of an optical module under a certain bit error rate (BER, which is usually 10 -12).
