  • Abstract
    The performance of subcarrier multiplexed coherent systems is compared theoretically using optical intensity and phase modulators. The results show that a subcarrier multiplexed coherent system with a symmetrical optical intensity modulator can offer a receiver sensitivity improvement as high as 9.1 dB over that with an optical phase modulator.
