Abstract

Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers and components can be a limiting impairment in high-speed, long-haul transmission link. In this paper, we have carried out investigations on PMD-induced penalties in a 40 Gbps optical transmission link and we obtained results for DGD, BER, Q2 (dB) for different values of the PMD coefficient and different random seeds using computer simulation.
