  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate the stroboscopic sampling effect that can occur in optical transmission experiments employing recirculating loops. When the sampling window is shorter than the optical data pattern length, pattern-dependent errors can cause large time-dependent variations in the measured bit-error rate. We also propose and implement a simple method to assure proper sampling statistics.
