In the presence of strong FEC the theoretical OSNR gain of non-differential over differential
transmission amounts to 1.0-1.5 dB
However, non-differential transmission is sensitive to carrier phase cycle slips

The benefit of non-differential transmission persists and even grows in the presence of phase noise.
Only a small portion of the theoretical gain is sacrificed due to the insertion of the training symbols.

Through optimized setting of the carrier recovery the error burstiness due to the phase
noise and the impact on SD-FEC can be eliminated almost completely
1700
A coarse pilot spacing leads to significant deviations from the binomial distribution Error burstiness
With optimized pilot spacing the preFEC bit errors approach the binomial distribution Independent errors
