Abstract:
We consider the information fiber optical channel modeled by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with additive Gaussian noise. Using path-integral approach and perturbation theory for the small dimensionless parameter of the second dispersion, we calculate the conditional probability density functional in the leading and next-to-leading order in the dimensionless second dispersion parameter associated with the input signal bandwidth. Taking into account the specific filtering of the output signal by the output signal receiver, we calculate the mutual information in the leading and next-to-leading order in the dispersion parameter and at large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Further, we find the explicit analytical expression for the mutual information in the case of the modified Gaussian input signal distribution taking into account the limited frequency bandwidth of the input signal. We explain the behavior of the mutual information as a function of the average input signal power and the input signal bandwidth in connection with the frequency broadening in the presence of small dispersion.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
