A Methodology for Calculating Performance in an Optical Fiber Communications System

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract:In this paper, we outline a methodology for calculating the performance — in particular the bit error rate — in optical fiber communications systems. We propose the development of an interlocking set of mutually-validating models that range from approximate and system-specific models that are computationally rapid to slower and generic models that are highly accurate. Experimental validation plays an important role in the methodology. We describe the progress in our research group toward fulfilling the goals prescribed by the methodology.
