Homodyne detection as a near-optimum receiver for phase-shift-keyed binary communication in the presence of phase diffusion
We address binary optical communication channels based on phase-shift keyed coherent signals in the presence of phase diffusion. We prove theoretically and demonstrate experimentally that a discrimination strategy based on homodyne detection is robust against this kind of noise for any value of the channel energy. Moreover, we find that …
