چکیده
We study the dependence on fiber birefringence of the bit-error rate (BER) caused by amplifier noise in a linear optical fiber telecommunication system. We show that the probability-distribution function of the BER obtained by averaging over many realizations of birefringent disorder has an extended tail that corresponds to anomalously large values of BER. We specifically discuss the dependence of the tail on such details of pulse detection at the fiber output as setting the clock and filtering procedures.

Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Compensation Strategies of Extreme Outages caused by Polarization Mode Dispersion and Amplifier Noise
Effect of birefringent disorder on the Bit Error Rate (BER) in an optical fiber telecommunication system subject to amplifier noise may lead to extreme outages, related to anomalously large values of BER. We analyze the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of BER for various strategies of Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) compensation. A compensation method is proposed that is capable of mo...
متن کاملOn the Efficiency of Importance Sampling Techniques for Polarization-Mode Dispersion in Optical Fiber Transmission Systems
An adaptive variance reduction technique was recently proposed to efficiently study transmission errors induced by polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fiber transmission systems. The technique combines importance sampling (IS) and the cross entropy (CE) method to bias Monte Carlo simulations. Here we (i) present a detailed study to quantify the computational efficiency of this techniq...
