Abstract

We discuss the linearization and the momentum methods as two complementary approaches for analyzing signal statistics in optical communications systems governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Based on the linearization, we derive the covariance matrix method that allows us to accurately compute the bit error rates. The momentum method represents an alternative approach for computationally efficient analysis of the amplitude and timing jitter, as well as signal statistics.
