Abstract :
Statistical analysis of Q-factor distribution for combined NL and PDL effects reveals that interplay between NL and PDL effects changes the shape and width of the Q-distribution, depending on the dispersion map. A novel two-dimensional statistical method to visualize and analyze such transmission impairments is proposed.
