Analytical results on channel capacity in uncompensated optical links with coherent detection

We derive capacity formulas for uncompensated links, showing that the launch power maximizing capacity is independent of link length and modulation format. We discuss the usable range of PM-QAM systems and validate analysis with simulations.
