Extinction Ratio (ER) is the ratio of the optical power when the transmitter is in the logic 1 state (P₁) to the optical power when it is in the logic 0 state (P₀): Higher ER: Stronger contrast be...

The extinction ratio reflects the degree of optical power difference between the "1" and "0" states during signal transmission and is a vital indicator for assessing optical signal transmission

The Extinction Ratio measurement for NRZ waveforms measures how well available laser power is converted to modulation power. Mathematically it is the ratio of the logic one level to the logic zero level.
