ABSTRACT:
A burst mode optical receiver is disclosed and includes a converter for converting a burst mode signal into a voltage signal, a bottom level detector for detecting a bottom level of an output signal from the converter, an automatic gain controller for automatically controlling the gain of the converter on the basis of the bottom level detected by the bottom level detector in order to maintain an amplitude of the output signal from the converter and generating a reset signal when the bottom level is lower than a predetermined reference value, and a power level detector for detecting a power level of the output signal from the converter and generating the reset signal and an LOS signal indicative of the presence of no input signal when the detected power level is lower than a predetermined reference value.
