  • Abstract
    Two techniques to assess the performance degradation of optical communications systems due to jitter are compared: a Gaussian approximation and a precise calculation. It is shown that, depending on the jitter distribution, the approximation may either under- or overestimate the performance degradation caused by jitter by a significant amount.
