A Low-Complexity Near-Optimal Detector for Multispan Zero-Dispersion Fiber-Optic Channels

• We design a novel receiver based on the theoretical finding that the linear phase noise is uncorrelated with the nonlinear phase noise. The implementation of the proposed receiver is straightforward and it performs almost equally to the optimal detector at a much lower complexity.
