Hi tanjil,

this is the reply to your question about " the minimum receiver overload point" and "overload point"

The overload point defined in the standards means the minimum receiver overload point. It is a BER-related concept and indicates the maximum mean receive optical power of the receiver to achieve the expected BER performance.
All the overload points specified in the optical module specifications of WDM devices currently mean the minimum receiver overload points. A certain margin will be left for devices in actual applications. Therefore, the measured overload point will be slightly greater than the value specified for the minimum overload point in optical module specifications.

Maximum input optical power indicates the maximum receive optical power of the receiver. If the practical optical power of a device is greater than the maximum input optical power, the optical components on the device may be damaged.

Hope this will help you, and I will add the information above to this volume soon.

Thanks your concern and suggestions again,!
