ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for accelerating assessment of an optical transmission system using Bit Error Rate (BER) tests calculates Q-factors for at least two different extinction ratios from measured test BER values, and extrapolates to determine a Q-factor for an operational extinction ratio, whereby the operational BER value for the operational extinction ratio can be calculated.
