Abstract
Generalization of a recently published technique for the evaluation of error probability in fiber-optic communication systems is described. The crux of the method is a minimax approximation of the cumulative distribution function of the additive noise. The additive noise is not constrained to be Gaussian. Examples and comparisons with previously published techniques are presented
