Abstract:A simulation tool for the calculation of the statistics and correlations of PMD-related variables is presented. Calculations are performed in time domain, allowing the simulation of the temporal evolution of differential group delay (DGD), principal states of polarization, (PSP) output polarization state (SOP) among others. Results are in good agreement with predictions from spectral calculations and experimental results. Correlations between neighboring channels in a 100 GHz spaced WDM transmission falls down… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
