Assuming a data rate of 400 Mbaud (Bandwidth, B = 200 MHz), the noise parameter
Z
n
may be calculated as:
1
(8)
where Z is the ratio of
RMS
noise output to the peak response to a single hole-electron
pair. Assuming 100% photodetector quantum efficiency, half mark/half space digital
transmission, 850nm lightwave and using Gaussian approximation, the minimum
required optical power to achieve 10
-9
BER is:
(9)
where h is Planck’s Constant, c is the speed of light,
λ
is the wavelength. The
minimum input current to the SA5211, at this input power is:
(10)
Choosing the maximum peak overload current of I
avMAX
= 60
µ
A, the maximum mean
optical power is:
(11)
Thus the optical dynamic range, D
O
is:
(12)
1.
