The invention discloses a method for judging the optimal working
voltage of an APD (Avalanche Photo
Diode) of a 10G EPON (
Ethernet Passive Optical Network). The method comprises the following steps that: S1: according to the testing data of a BOSA or RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indicator) under a dark condition, obtaining the reverse
breakdown voltage Vbr of the APD; S2: setting initial value working bias
voltage, selecting fixed input light power, according to preset time of duration, testing a current error
code rate or an error code number, then, carrying out stepping increasing on the working bias
voltage by a set stepping value to repeatedly test at least three points until the error
code rate or the error code number is increased; S3: taking the working bias voltage x and the error
code rate y to solve a quadratic equation of one unknown y=ax2+bx+c to obtain three coefficients a, b and c; S4: according to the three obtained coefficients a, b and c, calculating an extreme valuex=-b / 2a, and obtaining a corresponding APD DAC (Digital to Analog Convertor); and S5: utilizing the APD DAC value to carry out
sensitivity testing, if the
sensitivity testing is qualified, carrying out subtraction and translation on the APD DAC of the current temperature and an APD DAC LUK table to be updated into the APD DAC LUK, and if the
sensitivity testing is unqualified, failing.
