Young, "BER of optical communication system using fiber source," 1995.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/20152Conference paperWe analyze the bit-error rate (BER) of an optical communication system using the superfluorescent fiber source (SFS). The counting statistics of thermal light give improved performance relative to the Gaussian statistics that predict a BER floor. We consider a spectrum-sliced wavelength-division multiple access (WDMA) system that employs the SFS.engoptical fiber communicationbit-error rate (BER)superfluorescent fiber source (SFS)wavelength-division multiple access (WDMA)Conference paperoptical fiber communicationbit-error rate (BER)superfluorescent fiber source (SFS)wavelength-division multiple access (WDMA)
