Impact of Low-OSNR Operation on the Performance of Advanced Coherent Optical Transmission Systems

Abstract

We find evidence that low-OSNR operation causes substantial penalty on system maximum reach due to non-linearity generated by ASE noise and due to signal-power conversion into non-linear noise. Neglecting these effects may lead to a quite substantial performance prediction error.
