Abstract
The bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an optically preamplified peak detecting
burst mode (BM) receiver is analyzed. The analysis takes into account amplified
spontaneous emission (ASE) noise and, for the first time with this receiver
architecture, interchannel crosstalk. Furthermore, the ASE beat noises are more
appropriately included through the use of a noncentral chi-square (NCCS) distribution in
contrast to earlier attempts, which used a Gaussian approximation (GA), though a GA is
also developed here for the interchannel crosstalk case, for comparative purposes.
Results are presented in terms of BER and penalty curves. The peak detector-based BM
receiver shows larger threshold acquisition (TA) penalty than an integrator-based BM
receiver in the presence of ASE. Also ASE beat noise modeling using the NCCS
distribution shows greater power penalty for interchannel crosstalk than does the GA.
The sum of separate crosstalk and TA penalties is found to be less than the combined TA
penalty obtained in the presence of interchannel crosstalk.
