Suppression of Phase Noise Induced by Intrachannel Four-Wave Mixing Using Phase Noise Averagers

Abstract

This work investigates a novel phase noise averagers to suppress IFWM-induced phase noise of RZ-DPSK signals. Both analytical and simulation results confirm that the IFWM-induced phase noise will be converged, even after an ultra-long transmission. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America
