The absolute accuracy of modeling a high bit rate optical transmittter- receiver test-bed by using Moment Generating Functions is investigated with extensive system measurements and component characterizations. We achieved an average of 0.5dB OSNR accuracy for a 10Gbps RZ fiber optics test-bed. The methodology shown here can be very useful for both efficient and accurate component or system engineering.
