Q is a measure of the electrical signal to noise of the system at the receiver decision threshold. ( }! I7 t3 N0 b: i0 S/ _
When it is impractical to measure BER with conventional techniques, Q may be used to estimate BER. ' _' w: x; i4 u. U% l& w
Q Factor is a figure of merit often used in optically amplified systems in which noise from the amplifiers dominates receiver noise.6 D* ^3 ~8 a% X5 B2 R
