- Abstract
A simple analytical expression is derived to calculate the Bit-Error Rate in lightwave systems with optical amplifiers. According to this expression the Bit-Error Rate can be estimated by the signal power and the ASE spectrum density before the receiver. The theoretical calculation agrees with the experiment very well, so it can provide a method to judge the quality of the optical channel in the optical communication system with optical amplifiers. Futhermore, the impact of the ASE noise on the receiver sensitivity is discussed. It is important to select proper receivers in practical systems.
