Title:
OPTICAL SIGNAL QUALITY EVALUATION METHOD AND OPTICAL SIGNAL QUALITY EVALUATION DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3504902
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve quality evaluation accuracy with a single circuit, regardless of bit rate of measured signal, signal form or modulation form.
SOLUTION: A signal process unit 1503 has a strength distribution estimation part 1505, which estimates axial symmetric points group (a-2) about threshold A from points group (a-1) with a strength higher than the strength threshold A and each (a-1), (a-2) points group makes to level '1', and also estimates axial symmetric points group (b-2) about threshold B fun points group (b-1) with a strength lower than the strength threshold B which is decided separate by, then each (b-1), (b-2) points group makes to level '0' among sampling points in signal strength distribution obtained with a sampling oscilloscope 1502 and It also has a light signal quality evaluation part 1506 for evaluating a signal to noise ration coefficient obtained as the ration of the difference between the average strengths of level '1' and level '0' obtained from the strength distribution in a certain averaging time and the sum of the standard deviation values of level '1' and level '0' in the averaging time.
