Abstract:
We experimentally characterize SOA nonlinear transmission penalty using a real-time transceiver. Novel realistic models accurately predict the nonlinear penalty in system simulations. A closed-form Gaussian Noise model with working point-dependent effective parameters quantitatively explains the observations.
