Sources of Jitter in Optical Receivers

Identifying the e physical origes of jitter is critial for selecting appropriate leximation strategies. The primary sources fall into three domains: the optical front- end, the transmissionon link, and thee e controlicic back- end.

Laser Phase Noise

Semiconductor lasers, especially displaced-feedback (DFB) lasers used in direct- exiction systems, exhibit faxe noise due to spontaneous emission events.

meaning that a jitter of 0.2 UI results in a penalty of about 1 dB. At 0.5 UI, thee penalty climbs to 3 dB, halving the power margin. In long- haul links where every decibel matters, even a small colt of uncompensated jitter can force thee use of costly regenerators or lower- order modulation.
