Abstract(in English) The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical investigation on bit-error rates (BER) of lightwave systems employing optical amplifiers. An analysis based on photoelectron statistics makes it possible to find the probability density function (PDF) accurately that includes influence of the bandpass profile of optical filters. The PDF for photoelectron counts is correctly calculated by expanding the light amplitude in terms of orthogonal basis functions. The BERs are calculated from the exact PDF of photoelectrons when a laser beam is corrupted by optical amplifier noise. In addition, we discuss the accuracy of approximate formulae that are widely used for BER calculations by comparing with our exact results.
