Abstract
Digital baseband and digital subcarrier noncoherent optical communication systems are considered in this paper. Expressions are developed for the bit error probability of optical subcarrier systems which use a nonliner polarization modulator and either a one-detector or a two-detector receiver, The expressions are evaluated numerically, and the results are used to compare the one- and two-detector subcarrier systems with the corresponding one- and two-detector baseband systems for a fLxed bit error probability.
