  • Abstract
    Numerical results on the performance of quantum amplifiers in an optical communication system show that because of the spontaneous emission, the probability of error is not improved by the introduction of such devices. It is also concluded that nonlinearity, which is known to reduce the relative fluctuations, will not help to enhance the probability of detection.
