In this paper, a unified theory for the newly developed optical burst-mode receiver is presented. Based on this theory, an analysis of the performance of the receiver is given both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical model agrees well with the experimental results. This theory can quantitatively explain the bit error rate (BER) performance of burst-mode receivers. Several potential applications of burst-mode receivers are also illustrated, including applications in supervisory system for erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) trans-oceanic optical links and various high-speed all-optical multiaccess packet networks.
