Given:

Launched power = -10 dBm

Receiver sensitivity = -40 dBm

Total losses in the link = 27 dBm

Bandwidth = 1000MHz

Length of the link = 10km

Solution:

Total system Margin = Launched power – Receiver sensitivity

$= -10+40\\ = 30 dB$

Safety Margin = Total system margin – Total losses in the link

$= 30 – 27 \\ = 3 dB$

Safety Margin = 3 dB

Bandwidth length product $= 1000 MHz \times 10 km \\ B.W/km = 100 MHz$

Assuming rise time due to the source and detector negligible

$B_0$ = Bandwidth of 1 km length = 100 MHz

$\therefore B_m = \dfrac {B_0}{L^q}$

$q = 0.7$ (assumed)

$B_m = \dfrac {100}{10^{0.7}} = 20 MHz \\ t_{mod} = \dfrac {0.44}{20× 10^6} = 22ns$

For NRZ, bit rate is $= 0.7/22ns = 31 Mb/s$

For RZ, bit rate is $= 0.35/22ns = 15.9 Mb/s$
