Abstract
Differential dispersion elements can model polarization-mode dispersion characteristics of fibers compensated to first order. We use these in a two-step method to calculate outage probabilities for compensated systems. In this approach, the dominant second-order penalty characteristics equal those of chromatic dispersion. They are determined by advanced receiver modeling and can be tested experimentally.
