Abstract
A detailed analysis of the noise properties of wideband optical FM
systems is presented. The equations, which are extensions of the
results derived by Middleton [Q. Appl. Math. 7, 129 (1949)] and Rice [Bell Syst. Tech. J. 27, 109 (1948)] over 50 years ago, can be used to determine the final
noise spectral density for all degrees of limiting, with and without
sinusoidal frequency modulation. These results are perfectly
general and can be used for any FM system (radio, microwave, or
optical) having the particular type of limiter described
herein.
