Optical Coherent Receiver Sensitivity Analysis

Compatibility:

optical_coherent_receiver_performance_analysis_main

Optical coherent receiver technology can provide theoretical sensitivity levels to the order of 10’s of photons/bit. This application note provides an overview of common coherent receiver architectures (including homodyne, heterodyne and differential detection) and compares BER waterfall sensitivity curve simulations with theoretical results.
