摘要
A novel noise model is proposed for a balanced-detection ultrafast imaging system to comprehensively analyze the noise in the system. The whole noise model is obtained by solving for erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) noise, intersymbol interference (ISI) noise and low-pass filter (LPF) noise successively with stochastic process theory. Then, the nonmonotonic relationship between the cut-off frequency and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for certain experimental parameters are derived quantitatively and qualitatively: the SNR first increases and then decreases when the cut-off frequency increases, while the unique extreme point is located at 6.3 GHz. In addition, imaging results are obtained accordingly. The model and the results can provide a reference for system design and parameter selection.
