Abstract:
An exact derivation is presented for the binary detection probability for an optical polarization modulation communication system. A Gaussian approximation to this formulation is developed, and a comparison between the exact derivation and approximation is shown. As the background noise level increases for a fixed signal level, the results of the exact derivation converge to the classical results given by the Gaussian approximation. However, for low signal levels the Gaussian analysis yields a probability of detection error that is over conservative by an order of magnitude. Author
