Abstract

The invention pertains to optical fiber transmission systems, and is particularly relevant to transmission of large volumes of data over long distances at high rates. An apparatus and method for improved bit-error-rate (BER) performance when transmitting optical data over long distances using is disclosed. In particular, the improvement teaches the proper decision threshold setting of the optical signal at the receiver module.
