Measurement of Q Degradation due to PMD Using Importance Sampling

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We use multiple importance-sampling (IS) to measure the Q degradation due to PMD emulated by three programmable DGD elements with uniform polarization-coupling between sections. The measured Q-penalty probability distribution extends to <10−17 with only 1800 samples. Without IS, >1017 samples are required to examine such low-probability events.
