Abstract

Nonlinear phase noise induced by the interaction of fiber Kerr effect and amplifier noises is a quadratic function of the electric field. When the dependence between the additive Gaussian noise and the quadratic phase noise is taking into account, the joint statistics of quadratic phase noise and additive Gaussian noise is derived analytically. When the error probability for differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals is evaluated, depending on the number of fiber spans, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) penalty is increased by up to 0.23 dB due to the dependence between the Gaussian noise and the quadratic phase noise.
