of the Dual Dirac distribution approximated from the measured
histogram to RJ (d-d) and DJ (d-d) respectively.
Extinction Ratio
The extinction ratio is the ratio of 1 Level and 0 Level; it is used for
evaluating optical signal waveforms.
The extinction ratio is calculated by the following formula.
Extinction Ratio = 10log

For the extinction ratio of PAM4, refer to “Outer ExR (Outer Extinction
Ratio)”.
Eye Amplitude
For NRZ, eye amplitude is the difference between 1 Level and 0 Level.
Refer to Figure 1.5-21.
In PAM4, eye amplitude is the difference between the levels. There are
three of Upper, Middle, Lower. Refer to Figure 1.5-10.
Eye Crossing Percentage
Eye Crossing Percentage is the ratio of the Eye amplitude rising and
falling waveforms. The calculation formula is as follows. Refer to Figure
1.5-21.
Crossing = (crossing point level–0 Level)/(1 Level–0 Level)
