Abstract
This study analyzed optical and RF signals in optical communication systems using the On-Off Keying Non-Return to Zero (OOK-NRZ) modulation method and the direct-detection receiver model with PIN photodiodes. In this study, a simulation was carried out using Python software. Changes in optical modulation input power and Symbol rate (Rs) were explored to understand their effect on signal characteristics. Models of ideal photodiodes (noiseless) and noisy photodiodes (considering thermal noise, shot noise, and bandwidth constraints) were used to compare receiver signals. The eye diagram analysis was employed to visualize receiver signal variation in a given time span. The results of this analysis provide a better understanding of the influence of changes in input power and symbol rate on optical communication systems through the OOK-NRZ method and insight into the characteristics of the receiving signal under realistic conditions. This study is able to provide guidance for the design and evaluation of optical communication systems using OOK-NRZ modulation and direct detection receivers.
