1. An engineer is constructing a 5 km optical link using available components including a laser, fiber cables, connectors, and either a pin or APD receiver. The pin receiver has a sensitivity of -45 dBm and the APD has -56 dBm, with a required 6 dB operating margin. 2. The relationship between the 10-90% rise time of a receiver and the 3 dB electrical bandwidth is derived. 3. The relationship between the 3 dB optical bandwidth and the full width of a Gaussian pulse at the 1/e points is derived. 4. For a 90 Mb/s NRZ system using a laser with 1 nm spectral width and 2 ns rise time over a 7

Assignment – 4

1. An engineer has the following components available:


(a) GaAlAs laser diode operating at 850 nm and capable of coupling 1 mW (0
dBm) into a fiber.
(b) Ten sections of cable each of which is 500 m long, has a 4-dB/km
attenuation, and has connectors on both ends.
(c) Connector loss of 2 dB/connector.
(d ) A pin photodiode receiver.
(e) An avalanche photodiode receiver.

Using these components, the engineer wishes to construct a 5-km link operating at 20
Mb/s. If the sensitivities of the pin and APD receivers are –45 and –56 dBm,
respectively, which receiver should be used if a 6-dB system operating margin is
required?

2. Using the step response 𝑔(𝑡) = [1 − exp(– 2𝑝𝐵𝑒 𝑡)]𝑢(𝑡), show that the 10- to 90-
percent receiver rise time is given by 𝑡𝑟𝑥 = 0.35/𝐵𝑒 .
1 𝑡2
3. Show that, if 𝑡𝑒 is the full width of the Gaussian pulse, 𝑔(𝑡) = exp (− 2𝜎2 ) , at the
√2𝜋𝜎
1/e points, then the relationship between the 3-dB optical bandwidth and 𝑡𝑒 is given by
𝑓3𝑑𝐵 = 0.53/𝑡𝑒

4. A 90-Mb/s NRZ data transmission system that sends two DS3 (45-Mb/s) channels uses
a GaAlAs laser diode that has a 1-nm spectral width. The rise time of the laser
transmitter output is 2 ns. The transmission distance is 7 km over a graded-index fiber
that has an 800-MHz · km bandwidth-distance product.

(a) If the receiver bandwidth is 90 MHz and the mode-mixing factor q = 0.7,
what is the system rise time? Does this rise time meet the NRZ data requirement
of being less than 70 percent of a pulse width?

(b) What is the system rise time if there is no mode mixing in the 7-km link;
that is, q = 1.0?
