Abstract

Coherent optical systems that utilize spectrally efficient modulation schemes are studied with the aid of computer simulation. Models for the optical fiber, laser transmitter, and receiver are implemented in BASIC. The program includes the effects of additive white Gaussian noise and the various noise sources at the receiver. The results indicate that multilevel modulation schemes can be effectively used in coherent optical communication systems
