The extinction ratio is the ratio of the average optical power for transmitting signals 1 to the average optical power for transmitting signals 0 under the worst transmission conditions. For a graphical description, the eye-diagram is commonly. Eye diagram showing an example of two power levels in an OOK modulation scheme, which can be used to calculate extinction ratio. P1 and P0 are represented by (binary 1) and (binary 0) respectively. In telecommunications, extinction ratio (re) is the ratio of two optical power levels of a digital. Extinction ratio is an important measurement for characterizing the performance of optical transmitters.
