    The document discusses the relationship between bit error rate (BER) and Q-factor. BER decreases exponentially as Q-factor increases, where Q-factor is a measure of optical signal to noise ratio for a binary signal. As Q-factor improves from 0 to 9, the graph shows BER improving from 1E-1 to nearly 1E-18.
