We review recent research related to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fiber-optic
transmission systems operating at 40 Gb/s and above. We investigate the benefits of using …

Polarization-related impairments have become a critical issue for high-data-rate optical
systems, particularly when considering polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and …

Propagation of solitons in fibers with randomly varying birefringence is studied with and
without including the effect of soliton transmission control. A simple expression for the decay …

In this paper, we show a comparison among the performance of single-and multichannel
optical systems considering NRZ and soliton signals. The results have been obtained by …

The influences of chromatic dispersion, coupling length, and soliton energy on the soliton
robustness to polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) are investigated numerically. We find that …

A 40-Gb/s single-channel soliton transmission was performed on a dispersion-shifted fiber
(DSF) embedded in a link connecting Rome to Pomezia. The soliton system was based on …

Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) penalty measurement on a 10-Gb/s deployment-ready
dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) long-haul transmission system is reported …

Soliton robustness to polarisation dispersion pulse broadening in a 400 km installed optical
fibre is experimentally demonstrated. With 10 ps input pulses and a differential group delay …

This paper is contributed to discuss the impacts of group velocity dispersion, nonlinear Kerr
effect and polarization mode dispersion in optical fibers. Using split-step Fourier method, we …

We have experimentally quantified the soliton robustness to polarization mode dispersion
(PMD) in both conventional and dispersion-managed (DM) soliton systems. Long-term …
