Abstract
Coherent optical-fiber communications have been studied intensively because of high receiver sensitivity and high frequency selectivity.1 Because of the advent of the erbium-doped-fiber amplifier (EDFA) the first advantage may seem to have become less attractive. However, the combination of the EDFA and coherent technologies offers a number of attractive features.
