Probability of symbol error of Multi Slot Amplitude Coding (MSAC) technique in optical communication system

This paper reports a novel method on the probability of symbol error estimation for high speed Multi Slot Amplitude Coding (MSAC) technique in optically amplified communication system. The system setup is based on simple intensity modulation and direct detection scheme which is cost effective. In this proposed method, possibility of symbol error is estimated based on individual probability density function of particular signal level and slot of MSAC symbol. This proposed method is validated by the symbol-to-symbol error technique.
