Abstract
An optical receiver can be characterized from 'Sensitivity’. i.e. the optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) required to achieve a given bit error rate. The sensitivity testing is as performance measuring tool in many optical communication systems and this paper concentrate on such optical communication systems. The sensitivity depends on receiver’s characteristics and the shape of the received pulse. In this paper BER versus SNR of wireless optical system is analyzed..
