Abstract :
We demonstrate that forward-error-correction combined with a first-order compensator can greatly improve system performance over a wide range of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD). Both the experimental and theoretical results show that the system PMD tolerance limit can be increased to more than 40 ps in 10 Gb/s systems.
