Abstract—Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) induced outage probability (OP) in an optical communication system with distributed fast polarization scramblers (PS's) and time-varying PMD sections is

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) tolerance of an optical communication system with distributed fast polarization scramblers (PSs) and time-varying PMD sections is investigated.

Novel self-polarization diversity without dynamic polarization control is proposed to compensate PMD in direct-detection optical OFDM systems.

Novel self-polarization diversity without dynamic polarization control is proposed to compensate PMD in direct-detection optical OFDM systems.

We present simulations of Viterbi equalizers in 10 Gb/s NRZ-DPSK and NRZ-DQPSK systems. We show that an NRZ-DQPSK Viterbi receiver obtains a PMD tolerance of 160 ps at 3 dB OSNR penalty.

Simultaneous mitigation of 8ps mean DGD at 43Gb/s is demonstrated over 42 channels by use of 5 polarisation scramblers distributed over 4820km NZDSF straight line and UFEC with system margin.

The main building blocks of adaptive PMD compensators, the equalizer, the eye monitor for feedback signal generation, and the distortion tracking and adaptation logic for equalizer control will be

In the time intervals of its validity, the new hinge model for optical fiber transmission links requires a re-examination of the traditional concepts of PMD outage and their impact on system design

Summary form only given.

We compared experimentally PMD tolerances of an adaptively equalising 43Gb/s receiver for DPSK NRZ/RZ formats taking into account first and second order PMD.
