Digital Link:-
– In the operation of a digital optical fiber link, first a light source launches a certain amount of optical power into a fiber.

– The optical signal becomes attenuated due to loss mechanisms in the fiber at connectors. 

-The optical power level at the end of a link defines the signal to noise ratio at the receiver which is used to measure the performance of both analog and digital communication systems.

POINT TO POINT LINK:-
-It is the simplest kind of lightwave systems.

-It is used to transport information in the form of a digital bit stream from one place to
another.
-The length of the link vary from less than a kilometer to thousands of kilometer.

LINK POWER BUDGET:-

– It is used to ensure that enough power will reach the receiver to maintain reliable performance during the entire system lifetime.
– The receiver sensitivity is the minimum average power required by the receiver..
– It takes simple form in decibel units with optical powers expressed in dBm units

RISE TIME BUDGET:-

– It is used to ensure that the system is able to operate properly at the intended bit rate.
– If the bandwidth of the individual system components exceeds the bit rate then the total system may not be able to operate at that bit rate.

POWER PENALTY:-
– Some sources of power penalty are-
• Modal Noise
• Dispersive Pulse Broadening
• Mode-Partition Noise
• Frequency Chirping
• Reflection Feedback and Noise

ANALOG LINK:-

A carrier to noise ratio analysis is used instead of a signal-to-noise ratio analysis.
– If the time-varying analog drive signal is s(t), then the output optical power P(t) is
P(t) = Pt[1 + ms(t)] Here Pt is optical power level at the bias current point, and the modulation index
is given by

m=ppeak/pt

– For a sinusoidal received signal, the carrier power C at the output of the
receiver is
C=1/2(mRMPo)2
where P0 is the average received optical power.

– The carrier-to-noise ratio then is given by

CNR=C/RIN(RPo)2Be+2qrM2FMPoBe+(4kBT/Req)BeFt
where the noise terms in the denominator are due to RIN, shot, and thermal
noises respectively.
