Title :
Local Oscillator Phase Noise Induced Penalties in Optical Coherent Detection Systems Using Electronic Chromatic Dispersion Compensation

Abstract :
We show that chromatic dispersion induced local oscillator (LO) phase noise to amplitude noise conversion significantly degrades the performance of a high-speed coherent system without optical dispersion compensation and tightens the requirement on LO linewidth.
