Abstract

Noise from semiconductor lasers in dispersive optical communication systems can give rise to a BER floor. Due to frequency-to-intensity noise conversion, the impact of laser phase noise increases with the fiber length. It is shown that the maximum transmission distance for dispersion-supported transmission obtained in laboratory experiments is mainly determined by the laser phase noise.
