Title :
Polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) sensitivity of a 10 Gbit/s transmission system
Abstract :
The PMD sensitivity of a 10 Gbit/s transmission system is determined by measuring BER statistics. Additional calculations confirm that, in general, the commonly chosen receiver decision level for minimum BER does not coincide with that for minimum PMD sensitivity.
