23、nalogue or digital signals. It can reduce the signal-to-noise ratio and increase the bit error rate, therefore degrading system performance. Laser intensity noise can vary significantly depending on the properties of the laser and back reflections. In order to optimize communication links, it is ess

24、ential to accurately characterize the laser intensity noise, compare it with the signal strength, and if necessary allow an appropriate power budget.

29、 system 1 Scope This part of IEC 62150 specifies test and measurement procedures for relative intensity noise (RIN). It applies to lasers, laser transmitters, and the transmitter portion of transceivers. This procedure examines whether the device or module satisfies the appropriate performance speci

30、fication. The procedure is applicable to single longitudinal mode (SLM). An optional section of the procedure presents a controlled return loss to the device-under-test, but is only applicable to devices coupled to SMF. The method described in this standard, using a time-domain detection system, pro

31、vides a single value for RIN that averages the noise over the transmission bandwidth. The measurement is made on a modulated laser capturing the RIN value under normal operating conditions. It also measures RINOMA, an alternative definition, as described in IEEE 802.3-2005. An alternative RIN measur

32、ement method uses a photoreceiver and electrical spectrum analyzer and provides RIN vs. electrical frequency. This method provides a RIN value averaged over particular electrical band determined by a filter. For a filter bandwidth and characteristic that duplicates the filtering in a transmission sy

33、stem, this technique provides a result that is appropriate to determine the noise for such a system. This method is based on the measurement of total intensity noise including and does attempt to subtract the effects of thermal and shot noise. Background on laser intensity noise is given in Annex A.

In that case the “0” and “1” levels consist of two compo

BS EN 62150-4:201062150-4 IEC:2009(E) 13 Annex A (informative) Background on laser intensity noise In a receiver, laser intensity fluctuations can create noise that exceeds the thermal noise of the lo

46、ad impedance and/or the shot noise of the photodetector. It therefore can become a limiting factor for the power budget of an optical link. If so, then careful characterization of such fluctuations becomes essential to optimize system performance. Intensity fluctuations come primarily from the spect

47、ral properties of a laser. At very low power levels a laser emits mostly spontaneous emission, which, similar to the light coming from an LED, covers a range of wavelengths. Above its lasing threshold, a laser emits mostly stimulated emission and only a small amount of spontaneous emission. The stim

48、ulated emission is concentrated at or around one wavelength and contains most of the power used for sending information along an optical fibre. In a photodetector the stimulated emission interacts with any residual spontaneous emission, effectively creating noise that can be observed electrically. P

49、hotodetectors create an output current that is proportional to the optical power, which in turn is proportional to the square of the electric field. Because of this nonlinear relationship between optical field strength and photodetector current, photons with different optical frequencies create “beat signals.“ The signal “beats“ with the spontaneous emission and the spontaneous emission beats with itself. However, with todays semiconductor lasers a
