Definition of Terms
SBS suppression - effective linewidth
Specifies the peak-to-peak change of the periodically modulated
wavelength resulting from the SBS suppression feature, expressed in
Hertz.
Side-mode suppression ratio
The ratio of optical power in the main mode to the optical power of the
highest sidemode, expressed in dB:
Conditions:
Within a distance from 0.1 to 6 GHz to the signal's optical frequency.
Measurement:
Using the Agilent Lightwave signal analyzer, by analyzing the heterodyning
between the main signal and the highest sidemode.
Signal to source spontaneous emission ratio
Specifies the ratio between signal power and maximum spontaneous
emission (SSE) power. The SSE power is determined in a specified
bandwidth within a ±3 nm window around the signal wavelength, where
±1 nm around the signal wavelength are excluded, expressed in dB per
nm.
