Title
Sensitivity degradation of conventional and balanced 3*3 port phase diversity DPSK receivers due to thermal and local oscillator intensity noise
Abstract
The authors propose a balanced configuration for a 3*3 port phase diversity optical receiver. The performance of this receiver is compared with the conventional 3*3 port receiver. Since exact solutions are derived, a comparison of these with the Gaussian approximation is given.
