In telecommunications, extinction ratio (''r''e) is the ratio of two optical power levels of a digital signal generated by an optical source, ''e.g.,'' a laser diode. The extinction ratio may be expressed as a fraction, in dB, or as a percentage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Extinction Ratio )〕 It may be given by :, where ''P''1 is the optical power level generated when the light source is on, and ''P''0 is the power level generated when the light source is off. The polarization extinction ratio (PER) is the ratio of optical powers of perpendicular polarizations, usually called TE (transverse electrical) and TM (transverse magnetic). In telecommunications, the PER is used to characterize the degree of polarization in a polarization maintaining device or fiber. For coherent transmitter and receiver, the PER is a key parameter since X-polarization and Y-polarization are coded with different signals. ==References== 〔 * *Material also incorporated from MIL-STD-2196. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extinction ratio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
