<p>Thanks, Nicolò.  Yes, there is more than one way to do this, and we could have expressed things in terms of received watts.  The approach we took was to simplify the mean and variance expressions and use as few parameters as possible.  In this way, the mean
 depends only on rho (the fade) and ns (the mean number of absorbed photons per signal slot).  This makes it intuitively related to the photon counting model, and allows straightforward plotting using photons/bit, which is the common metric by which to measure
 optical coding performance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>One can do things in watts, and translate to n_s, if you find that more intuitive.  We didn't find that as convenient, however.  For example, if we had expressed the model so that the mean signal was Ps in incident watts, and used that as the free parameter
 in the simulations, the variance expressions would include an eta/ (h nu) term, which would require knowing the frequency and quantum efficiency.  That's not a problem, but it is two more parameters than are needed in the formulation we suggested.  We think
 it may be more easier to run simulations with the normalized model, and then plug in these other parameters later if you want to plot vs. received watts for an APD with a specific responsivity (or quantum efficiency and frequency).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Anyway, that was our thinking.<o:p></o:p></p>

Attached is the O3K channel model we discussed yesterday.  It also contains a suggestion for how to state the O3K coding performance.  I welcome your comments.  If we can agree to the model in the next week or so, each agency may be able to begin simulating
 with it and discuss some initial results at the May teleconferences. <br>
A few notes: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
I am suggesting we study 10 Gsps, 78.125 Msps, and 1.22 Mbps, since those include the highest and lowest data rates and one in the middle.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
I don't have a good suggestion for the TIA noise density at 1.22 Msps.  Dirk, would you be able to supply a number?
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
I have algebraically simplified the expressions for the means and variances.  You can compare the model to the expressions Dariush presented on yesterday (p. 5), and check my algebra.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
