L. Pierre et Jp. Thiery, COMPARISON OF RESISTANCE TO POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION OF NRZ AND PHASE-SHAPED BINARY TRANSMISSION FORMATS AT 10GBIT S/, Electronics Letters, 33(5), 1997, pp. 402-403
The purpose of the reported 10Gbit/s experiments is to compare the res
istance to severe polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) exhibited by a li
nk of 63.4km of conventional fibre, for two different modulation forma
ts: non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and phase-shaped binary transmission (PSB
T). It clearly appears that the PSBT format is far more resistant to P
MD than the NRZ modulation format.
