RELIABILITY OF SIMULATIONS AT 43GB/S : COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT AT 8 MODULATION FORMATS ON FIBER IMPAIRMENTS
01 January 2004
Various noise statistics on simulation have been compared with experimental data on 43 Gb/s amplitude shift keying (ASK) and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) formats for chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) tolerances and nonlinear threshold (NLT). Best agreement is found by Gaussian noise statistics plus inter-symbol-interference.
