Outage probabilities for fiber routes with finite number of degrees of freedom

We numerically study polarization-mode dispersion in fiber routes with a finite number of degrees of freedom, show that individual channels in such systems exhibit a non-Maxwellian differential group delay distribution, and analyze the resulting statistics of outage probabilities. We show that a sig...

Zusammenfassung:We numerically study polarization-mode dispersion in fiber routes with a finite number of degrees of freedom, show that individual channels in such systems exhibit a non-Maxwellian differential group delay distribution, and analyze the resulting statistics of outage probabilities. We show that a significant number of channels in such systems will be outage-free for long time periods.
