Abstract
The information theoretical limits of electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) for on-off keying non-return-to-zero optical transmission systems with direct photodetection are investigated. The results obtained show that the optical signal-to-noise ratio penalty entailed by EDC can be limited to about 2 dB at most values of chromatic dispersion of interest in current applications.
