The impact of polarization mode dispersion: optical duobinary vs. NRZ transmission

摘要

In conclusion, we demonstrated that the impairment of PMD is larger on duobinary than on NRZ Systems. However, due to its better intrinsic performance, the use of duobinary may still result convenient in some scenarios, like the ones analyzed. We would like to thank F. Forghieri and his collaborators for the helpful suggestions. This work was partially supported by CISCO Photonics.
