  • Sensitivity Analysis of Optical Receiver Module

    Sensitivity Analysis of Optical Receiver Module

    Sensitivity is the minimum average optical power in dBm to achieve a desired bit-error-rate (BER). Always compare back-to-back (transmitter directly to receiver) with maximum fiber length. For example, SONET specifies that the BER must be 10 -10 or better. Receiver sensitivity is defined by how weak an input signal can be to prevent the Bit Error Rate (BER) from exceeding a specific value which is set by the MSA standards. Exceeding the BER value indicates signal degradation, rendering it unsuitable for data communication. A general mathematical model of the receiver sensitivity that fits to analytical as well as measured data is. cle provides an analysis of receiver optical sensitivity.
