Abstract

We perform a statistical investigation (based on the Cambridge 108-fiber set) of the performance limits of different electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) techniques in terms of their robustness to modal dispersion, considering the impact of connection offsets in 10GBASE-LRM (long reach multimode) systems with connection offsets. We also investigate the effectiveness of an accurate and fast analytical method to take into account any amount of intersymbol interference based on Gaussian quadrature rules, thus allowing a thorough statistical investigation of the performance of different EDC techniques.
