“…(2) where is the spontaneous emission factor, J s is the Planck's constant, Hz is the signal frequency, Hz is the noise bandwidth (equivalent to 0.1 nm), and is used to convert from watts to milliwatts. (in dBm) is defined as a constant to calculate the ASE noise power using the system bandwidth of 20 nm determined by the MUX/DEMUX-based OADMs [13], as follows:…”
