    Extinction Ratio Experiment Report of Optical Emitter

    In this paper, a 16x40 Gbps WDM RoF system is assessed, with various Extinction Ratio (ER) values considered. Six ER values from 5 to 30 dB were simulated using Optisystem. Results suggest that the relationship of the Q-Factor (QF) with ER is positive, while that of BER with ER is. One parameter, extinction ratio, is used to describe optimal biasing conditions and how efficiently available laser transmitter power is converted to modulation power. As design/test margins get tighter, the challenges of making accurate and repeatable extinction ratio measurements become more apparent. Aiming at the measurement of the extinction ratio of a transparent component, this study proposes a measurement method for solving the extinction ratio. What is the polarization of light? Polarization refers to the phenomenon that the vibra-tion vector of shear wave (perpendicular to the propa-gation direction of wave) deviates in some certain directions. The longitudinal wave is not polarized. Light is a shear wave, that is, a wave whose vibration.
