Development of Coherent Optical Fiber Communication Systems
This section describes the basic operation principle of coherent optical detection. We show how the coherent receiver measures the complex amplitude of the optical signal with the shot-noise-limited sensitivity and how information on the state of p. where "ms" means the mean square with respect to the optical frequencies, "Re" means to take the real part, ωIF is known as the intermediate frequency (IF) given by ωIF |ωs −ωLO|, and θsig(t and θLO(t = ) ) are phases of the transmitted signal and LO, respectively.
