Abstract

Polarisation mode dispersion distortion equalisation with more then 11 dB power penalty reduction is demonstrated for the first time at 10 Gbit/s after 100 km standard fibre using electronic filtering in the receiver. We report on the combination of chromatic dispersion management using the dispersion supported transmission (DST) method and the compensation of the polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) distortion by an electronic equalisation filter realised in an optical receiver
