Abstract

The achievable information rates (AIRs) of a nonreturn-to-zero optical transmission system operating at 10Gb/s are determined based on experimentally obtained conditional probability density functions for an amplified spontaneous emission noise-dominated system in the presence of chromatic dispersion (with and without optical dispersion compensation). Specifically, we concentrate on the AIR loss due to the accumulation of chromatic dispersion, as well as the practical constraint of the analog-to-digital conversion and quantization of log-likelihood ratios
