Abstract :
An automatic threshold-level control (ATC) method for optimum decision operation in an optical repeater is studied using in-service error monitoring in the line code with the bit-inversion rule. Results of an experiment with a 110 Mbit/s optical repeater and a 10B1C line coder clarify that the ATC method is effective for maintaining the optimum decision threshold level.
