Blumenthal Lecture 15, Slide 5 Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) ? OSNR is an extremely important parameter in optically amplified systems ? A poor OSNR cannot in principle be improved at the receiver ? It is mainly determined by: ? Useful signal level ? ASE noise level ? OSNR is typically measured using an Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) ? The resulting quantities are thus time averaged ? The OSNR is defined on a given resolution bandwidth Δf (an example standard requires 0.1 nm =12.5 GHz) f ( )fPOSA WDM optical channels OSNR fΔ ECE228B, Prof. D. J. Blumenthal Lecture 15, Slide 6 Optical Amplifier OSNR ? The signal at the output of an optical amplifier in response to a noise free signal at the input is EDFAPin Pout = GPin+mPN ? The following formulation accounts for all noise terms that can be treated as Gaussian noise due to the optical amplifier optspN BGhnmP )1( != G = amplifier gain nsp = spontaneous emission factor m = number of polarization modes (1 or 2) PN = mean noise in bandwidth Bopt ECE228B, Pro
