We investigate the effects of low cut-off frequency of optical receiver on the performance of lightwave systems. The results show that we can reduce the tone-induced power penalty by $0.8 dB (tone frequency = 1 MHz) using a high-pass filter in the optical receiver. In addition, our calculation shows

Abstract
In this letter, we study the performance of low‐density parity‐check (LDPC) codes in a Poisson optical channel with on–off keying modulation. We modify the iterative decoding algorithm used in binary phase‐shift keying modulation and additive white Gaussian noise channels. The simulation results show that the LDPC codes has performance improvements over parallel concatenated convolutional codes. Therefore, LDPC codes is well suited for optical channels with signal energy constraints. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this letter we describe the use of tunable chromatic dispersion compensator based on chirped fiber Bragg grating to improve the performance of a 10 Gbit/s optical fiber communication system. Tunable compensation is achieved by applying temperature gradients along the grating longitud
