Abstract :
We compare the performance of single-section polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensators with either a fixed- or variable-differential group delay (DGD) element as a function of both first- and second-order PMD using multiple importance sampling. We show that there is little benefit in using a variable-DGD element.
