Title :
Limitation of optical first-order PMD compensation

Abstract :
A new theoretical model exhibits that first-order polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation extends the maximum acceptable PMD to 0.35 times the bit period T. At 10 gbit/s chromatic dispersion of 850 ps/nm (50 km SMF) reduces this PMD limit to 0.29 T.
