Nonlinear interaction between signal and amplified spontaneous emission in coherent systems

We experimentally and numerically investigate the impact of nonlinear interaction between signal and ASE in coherent transmission systems. We show that dispersion management of the transmission path significantly increases penalties caused by signal-ASE interaction.
