H. Ghafourishiraz et al., EFFECT OF PHASE NOISE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF 10-GBITS S COHERENT OPTICAL SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVERS/, Microwave and optical technology letters, 11(1), 1996, pp. 14-17
This study evaluates the performance of a 10-Gbits/s coherent optical
synchronous receiver for ASK FSK, and PSK modulation formats in the pr
esence of both transmitter laser and local oscillator phase noise. It
has been shown that the effect of phase noise on the receiver sensitiv
ity will be negligibly small when the rms value of phase noise sigma(p
hi) is less than 0.2 rad. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
