1. Launched optical power is measured at the end of a two meter section of a 50/125
μ
m fiber (N.A.=0.20). The maximum and mini-
mum of the allowed range of average transmitter power coupled into the fiber are worst case values to account for manufacturing
variances, drift due to temperature variations, and aging effects. The minimum launched optical power specified assumes an infi-
nite extinction ratio at the minimum specified OMA.
2. Optical transition time is the time interval required for the rising or falling edge of an optical pulse to transition between the 20% and
80% amplitudes relative to the logical 1 and 0 levels. This is measured through a 4th order Bessel -Thompson filter with 0.75 * Data
Rate 3-dB bandwidth and corrected to the full bandwidth value.
3. Extinction Ratio is the ratio of the average optical power (in dB) in a logical level one to the average optical power in a logical level
zero measured under fully modulated conditions with a pattern of five 1s followed by five 0s, in the presence of worst case reflec-
tions.
4. Optical Modulation Amplitude (OMA) is defined as the difference in optical power between a logical level one and a logical level
zero. The OMA is defined in terms of average optical power (P
AVG
in
μ
W) and extinction ratio (ER) as given by OMA=2P
AVG
((ER-
1)/(ER+1)). In this expression, the extinction ratio, defined as the ratio of the average optical power (in
μ
W) in a logic level one to
the average optical power in a logic level zero measured under fully modulated conditions in the presence of worst case reflections,
must be the absolute (unitless linear) ratio and not expressed in dB. At 1.0625Gb/s, the specified OMA is equivalent to an average
power of -9 dBm at an extinction ratio of 9 dB.
5. RIN12 is the laser noise, integrated over a specified bandwidth, measured relative to average optical power with 12dB return loss.

7. Deterministic Jitter is defined in Ref [1][2].
8. Coupled Power Ratio is the ratio of the average power coupled into a multimode fiber to the average power coupled into a single
mode fiber. This measurement is defined in EIA/TIA-526-14A.
