Ultimate capacity limit of a multi-span link with phase-insensitive amplification

Quantum Physics 2021-10-26 v1 Signal Processing Optics

Abstract

The Shannon capacity of a point-to-point link with an optimised configuration of optical amplifiers is compared with general detection strategies permitted by quantum mechanics. Results suggest that the primary application area of receivers based on such strategies may be unamplified short-distance links or free-space optical communication
