Abstract

Probability density functions are given for nonlinear phase noise in a photonic communication system in which the information is encoded in the optical phase, both unconditioned and conditioned to the detection of a given amount of pulse energy. It is shown that the reach of a transmission system is increased by $\sim 41\%$ by ideal postcompensation of the nonlinear phase noise.
