Abstract :
We find that the signal evolution of a chirped return-to-zero (CRZ) pulse over 6100 km is fully linearizable, and the noise Fourier components are multivariate Gaussian-distributed. We introduce a deterministic method to accurately calculate eye diagrams and error rates, avoiding Monte Carlo simulations altogether.
