  • Abstract
    High receiver sensitivity, with 7 dB improvement over a direct detection system, has been achieved in a 400 Mbit/s optical DPSK heterodyne detection experiment using DBR laser diodes with external optical feedback. The influence of the laser output phase noise was evaluated experimentally in good agreement with theory.
