Abstract :
We analyze the effects of polarisation dependent loss (PDL) in the highspeed transmission system, under the polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) compensation environment. As the link PDL increases, the BER enhancement from the PMD compensator decreases sharply, making the PMD compensation technique much ineffective. Analysis with an 80 km, 10 Gbps system shows that even a minute link PDL of 0.5 dB could seriously limit the system performance.
