Abstract

Two-dimensional statistics and Q-penalty performance under the combination of two major impairments induced by polarization-dependent loss, namely level imbalance and loss of orthogonality between polarization-multiplexed tributaries, for a polarization-division-multiplexing digital coherent transmission at over 100-Gb/s are presented for the first time to estimate the outage probability needed for designing the system.

The two-dimensional histogram over the LIP-LOP plane is bounded by an equi-Q-penalty curve (dashed curve) for a given Q-penalty obtained from the Q-penalty map in Fig. 6.
