A Sequence Selection Bound for the Capacity of the Nonlinear Fiber Channel

A novel technique to optimize the input distribution and compute a lower bound for the capacity of the nonlinear optical fiber channel is proposed. The technique improves previous bounds obtained with the additive white Gaussian noise decoding metric.
