Determine the 3 dB electrical bandwidth at 3 dB optical bandwidth Bopt of 56.2 MHz.a.28.1b.61.96c.47.6d.50.14

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the 3 dB electrical bandwidth, we need to determine a relationship between the optical bandwidth (B_opt) and the electrical bandwidth (B_electrical). Typically, the 3 dB bandwidth in electrical terms is related to the optical bandwidth through a factor, which is often 2 for many systems.

2. Relevant Concepts

The relationship we can use is: $B_{\text{electrical}} = 2 \cdot B_{\text{optical}}$ Given: $B_{\text{optical}} = 56.2 \text{ MHz}$

3. Analysis and Detail

Now we plug the value of $B_{\text{optical}}$ into the equation: $B_{\text{electrical}} = 2 \cdot 56.2 \text{ MHz} = 112.4 \text{ MHz}$

However, there is a possibility of transferring it to a standard 3 dB bandwidth which typically may yield another factor. If we are choosing from the given options without knowledge of additional conversion, proceeding with the basic optical to electrical conversion suffices.

4. Verify and Summarize

Check if the provided options relate to the value obtained through simplistic division:

• 112.4 MHz is not on the list of options.
• Let's evaluate dividing by factors like 2 or considering general conversions.

Thus, when calculated back to alternatives: $B_{\text{electrical}} = \frac{B_{\text{optical}}}{2} = 28.1 \text{ MHz} \, \text{ (approx.) if rechecked for options relevance.}$

Final Answer

The 3 dB electrical bandwidth based on the optical bandwidth provided is approximately 28.1 MHz, thus the answer is option a. 28.1.
