Abstract :
Laser phase noise causes a significant performance degradation of coherent optical communication systems. The effect of noise is analyzed using a model more general than usually considered. Bounds and approximations for the probability of error of binary orthogonal modulation, such as wide deviation frequency-shift keying (FSK), are evaluated, paying particular attention to the effects of frequency feedback stabilization on system robustness
