Information Spectral Efficiency and Launch Power Density Limits Due to Fiber Nonlinearity for Coherent Optical OFDM Systems

We derive closed-form expressions for nonlinear transmission performance of dual-polarization closely spaced coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. We find that the fiber nonlinear noise exhibits a signature of the flicker noise or 1/<i>f</i> noise...
