title: Ultra-wide dynamic range receiver for noise loaded WDM transmission systems.
abstract: We demonstrated ultra-wide input power range receivers for noise-loaded WDM applications without using optical variable attenuators. Required OSNR at 6E-5 BER exhibited less than 1dB variation across receiver input power range from -22dBm to +4Bm.
