Outline • Kerr nonlinearity induced phase noise in coherent communication systems • Statistics of IFWM phase noise • Phase noise reduction through exploiting correlation of IFWM • Conclusions/Future work
Kerr Nonlinearity • induced intensity dependent refractive index • Self phase modulation induced Nonlinear Phase Shift • Nonlinear Phase Noise when random
Phase noise in coherent communication systems • Laser phase noise • Laser linewidth • Carrier recovery mechanisms • Linear phase noise • ASE noise from inline amplifiers • Nonlinear phase noise • Phase fluctuations from randomness of data • Interaction of ASE noise and signal with Kerr nonlinearity – Gordon-Mollenauer effect • Shot noise / Thermal noise
Signal propagation in optical fibers • Pulse trains • Nonlinear Schordinger Equation (NLSE) • Perturbation Linear solution to NLSE • SPM on : • IXPM on : • IFWM on :
IFWM phase noise • IFWM induced phase noise on bit 0 • IFWM technically information, but hard to fully exploit

pmf of • No analytical knowledge of pmf • Error probability for PSK/DPSK system with IFWM and receiver phase noise • Is it possible to at least approximate ?
Approximate pmf • Insight: terms in are pairwise independent • Only a consequence of module addition in phase of
