Receiver Model for Depolarized Signal Due to Polarization-Mode Dispersion and Partially Polarized Noise Due to Polarization-Dependent Loss in an Optical Fiber Communication System
Abstract:Abstract-We systematically investigate the combined effect on the system performance in an optical fiber communication system of a signal that is depolarized due to polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and noise that is partially polarized due to polarization-dependent loss. We derive a formula for the variance of the electric current of the signal due to the signal-noise beating between a depolarized signal and partially polarized noise. We validate this theoretical formula by comparing the -factor calculated u… Show more
