System impact of Parametric Gain: A novel method for the BER evaluation


Abstract:

A novel method to evaluate the Bit Error Rate (BER) in optical links is described. It analyzes systems limited by Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise, enhanced by the non-linear Parametric Gain (PG) effect, and allows to compute the exact error probability, given a generic optical noise spectral density at the input of a direct detection optical receiver. The method has been employed to evaluate the impact of PG on a 10 Gb/s per channel long-haul multi-wavelength system. It has also been used to show how the system performance evaluation based on the Q-factor Gaussian approximation may lead to erroneous BER evaluations.
