Abstract
A mathematical model is formulated for an optical PCM system. Using the signal-to-noise ratio at the decision circuit as the performance criterion, the optimization of a nonlinear detector is carried out. Closed-form expressions for the jointly optimum electrical filtering and biasing, and for the maximum signal-to-noise ratio are obtained.
