“…Development of new techniques capable of first- [15], [19], [20] and higher order [20], [21] PMD compensation has raised a question of how to evaluate the compensation success (or failure). Traditionally, the statistics of the PMD vectors of first [5], [6], [37], [8] and higher orders [9]- [11] are considered as a measure for any particular compensation method's performance.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a method that allows evaluating the performance of an optical fiber system where bit errors result from a complex interplay of spontaneous noise generated in optical amplifiers and birefringent disorder of the transmission fiber. We demonstrate that in the presence of temporal fluctuations of birefringence characteristics, the bit-error rate (BER) itself is insufficient for characterizing system performance. Adequate characterization requires introducing the probability distribution function (PDF) of the BER obtained by averaging over many realizations of birefringent disorder. Our theoretical analysis shows that this PDF has an extended tail indicating the importance of anomalously large values of BER. We present the results of comprehensive analysis of the following issues: 1) The dependence of the PDF tail shape on detection details, such as filtering and regular temporal shift adjustment; 2) the changes in the PDF of BER that occur when the first-or higher order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation techniques are applied; 3) an alternative PMD compensation method capable of providing more efficient suppression of extreme outages.Index Terms-Bit-error rate (BER), optical fiber telecommunication systems, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation, probability distribution function (PDF).

“…However, fluctuations of the impairments, mainly due to temperature drifts and stress variations, also occur in long-distance fiber transmission, requiring adaptative solutions able to tune the compensation in real time [15][16][17]. This involves measurement of the impairments and automatic feedback to a tunable compensator.…”

Automatic DGD and GVD compensation at 640 Gb/s based on scalar radio-frequency spectrum measurement

We demonstrate what we believe to be the first real-time impairment-cancellation system for groupvelocity dispersion (GVD) and differential group delay (DGD) for a 640 Gb∕s single-channel signal. Simultaneous compensation of two independent parameters is demonstrated by feedback control of separate GVD and DGD compensators using an impairment monitor based on an integrated all-optical radio-frequency (RF) spectrum analyzer. We show that low-bandwidth measurement of only a single tone in the RF spectrum is sufficient for automatic compensation for multiple degrees of freedom using a multivariate optimization scheme.
