Abstract :
An expression is derived for the probability of error in an optical heterodyne DPSK system, subject to shot noise and quantum phase noise of the optical sources. Results are given for the maximum linewidth of the transmit and local optical sources to satisfy a given degradation in optical receiver sensitivity.
