Explicit expressions for the dependence of signal-to-noise ratio on the optical filter bandwidth and its slope have been obtained. The resulting expressions were confirmed experimentally. The dependencies of critical symbol rate on two parameters, namely the bandwidth and roll-off factor, were studied both for the case of one and several filters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
