Abstract
Coherent communication systems are largely limited by the laser linewidth of the local oscillator. In addition to phase noise, large frequency deviations can occur if the laser is mechanically vibrated. The detrimental effect of the frequency instability is measured for coherent optical receivers on a typical laser and numerically analyzed for quadrature phase-shift keying and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation using common feed-forward carrier phase recovery algorithms.
