Abstract:

The performance of optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system is limited by a complex combination of noise. In this paper we present a theoretical framework for the optical receiver in OTDM system based on the moment generation function. The proposed receiver model is showed to be more accurate in predicting the bit error rate (BER) performance than the former ones. Its validity is also verified by the experimental results.
