Abstract
We use a semi-analytical receiver model combined with importance sampling
applied to first-order polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) to show that the
performance of optical fiber systems whose optical and electrical receiver
filter bandwidths are optimized for polarization-mode dispersion in
practical on-off-keyed systems is equivalent to the performance of the same
systems in which the receiver filters are optimized for operation in the
absence of PMD. We also observed an increase in the sensitivity of the
performance with respect to variations in the receiver filter bandwidths in
the return-to-zero format in systems with PMD when compared with PMD-free
operation.
