B. Clesca et al., IMPACT OF POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION ON 10GBIT S TERRESTRIAL SYSTEMS OVER NONDISPERSION-SHIFTED FIBER/, Electronics Letters, 31(18), 1995, pp. 1594-1595
Depending on the launched state of polarisation, 10Gbit/s system impai
rments are investigated experimentally in the presence of chromatic di
spersion and variable differential group delay caused by polarisation
mode dispersion. In addition, an actual fibre cable, not an optical si
mulator, was used to bring polarisation mode dispersion.
