Abstract :
Optical communication in fiber and photonic devices is subject to power loss and signal distortion due to linear and nonlinear phenomena. We provide an analysis of factors that affect the signal quality and we describe a method to estimate the signal bit error rate based on eye diagram sampling and statistical estimates.
