Hi!

I would like to calculate the BER of an optical communications
system.

The only known value is the total collected intensity as a function of
time (I thus can calculate mean intensity, variance,...). The
modulation format doesn't matter. The simplest is the best; so we can
take OOK modulation. I think that BER is also function of SNR.

How can I calculated the BER if I take a OOK modulation (or any other)
and fix the SNR to a certain value?

Thank you for your time,
Noah
