Novel Method for Optical Amplifier Noise Figure Characterization using the Electrical Technique

D.M. Baney, R.L. Jungerman

Abstract

A novel method is presented allowing for measurement of optical amplifier noise figure using the electrical method. The use of an optical intensity noise-standard combined with a generalized noise figure relation provides a simple method for base-band noise figure characterization.
