ABSTRACT
Exchange of information between any two devices across a communication channel involves using some type of electrical or
optical signal which carries the information. Parameters considered while analyzing the optical link are desired transmission
distance, data rate or channel bandwidth and BER. This paper presents variation in the BER with the change in the transmission
distance and the length of the fiber considering the photo-detector as PIN and APD. With the increase in length of the fiber and
transmission data rate, dispersion increases. Hence, optical signal incident on the detector is below the required sensitivity power
requirement and system is not able to give the electrical output. APD with single mode fiber gives the better performance over
PIN.
