June 10, 2015 at 9:23 am #21574 Gaurav RajaryaParticipant Gaurav RajaryaParticipantcan anyone please tell me why do we always take power 0 DBm as a default value of CW laser?

 You have raised a good question about continuous laser power.Usually we consider 0dBm power of laser source due the fact that low power levels of input signals are less vulnerable to non linear effects in optical fiber.No doubt with the increase of input power,system performance increase to some extent but it decrease after the power cross elastic limits of toleration and kerrs efects,FWM, SPM and XPM comes into play.There is great importance of systems operates at lower power level because these systems operates for long time and less prone to heating effects introduced by laser at higher power level.Basically these are some important reasons,Rest you can see other benefits over internet regarding this concept.Regards

 Because the nonlinear distortion depend on the launching power thus we required the minimum power
 In some of case for cw laser we use -4dBm or more less power.

 Here are some links which clearly elaborate why power of systems kept low.Please take a look

 you can take any value you need , this is a defult value
