Abstract
We derive limits on the sensitivity of optical sampling methods for optical performance monitoring, accounting both for the fundamental detection limit and for realistic detector and thermal noise sources during detection. Nonlinear and linear (homodyne) sampling are compared with optoelectronic monitoring techniques.
