Abstract :
Due to demand for increased optical transmission capacity, lower cost, and better spectral efficiency, 40 Gb/s optical systems are emerging and 100 Gb/s transmission is being discussed. With increased baud rate, system performance becomes very sensitive to chromatic dispersion, noise, and polarization mode dispersion. It is desirable to have 40 Gb/s systems that operate as independently of optical physics as is possible.
