Abstract :
We report the first experimental implementation of the multicanonical approach to the determination of probability distribution functions of stochastic systems. In particular, we obtain the differential group delay of a polarization mode dispersion emulator for events with a probability of 10/sup -7/ with only 6000 samples.
