The nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) is a potentially promising way to mitigate nonlinear signal distortions in fiber-optic communication systems [1-4]. Recently, the new approach named the b-modulation was introduced [1] that allows to control the temporal duration of NFT-generated signals. In the "traditional" NFT-based communication, the nonlinear spectrum, r (ξ) is used to modulate data. Then the signal duration depends on the signal energy and is not predetermined and controlled. The utilisation of the NFT scattering coefficient b (ξ) gives a possibility to control the pulse duration in time domain under condition that the Fourier spectrum of b (ξ) is localized. In particular, the OFDM format satisfies that condition. It was already shown that the properties of the effective noise in the NFT domain differ from a circular Gaussian noise. More specifically, such a noise is signal-dependent and non-circular [2, 3]. It was …
