Coherent Solutions Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) Measurement

RIN Measurement

Semiconductor laser Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) is an important parameter that can cause significant degradation to the performance of fibre optic communications links. It is important for both laser manufacturers and systems designers to understand how RIN is measured to ensure reliable, accurate and repeatable results.

In the latest application note by Coherent Solutions, learn more about the calculation of RIN, illustrated with several examples, and get to know how the O2EPXIe-1901 module is able to convert optical noise to electrical noise.
