Abstract
Mode partition noise in optical fiber communication systems is still causing an error rate floor even with distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers sources[1,2] having a side-mode suppression ratio larger than 30 dB in stationary conditions. This phenomenon is caused by the laser turning on initially in a side mode having a different wavelength from the principal mode.
