Abstract :
We describe a detailed calculation of BER performance in nonlinear optical amplifiers. The analysis addresses noise in the nonlinear gain regime and dynamical effects at high bit rates related to slow gain dynamics. Improved performance of an adaptive decision threshold level receiver is proposed.
