The authors have derived a receiver model that provides an explicit relationship between
the Q factor and the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) in optical fiber communication …

The small polarization dependence (< 1 dB) of optical components becomes significant in
optical multistage interconnection networks. The cumulative effect can ultimately limit …

Polarization-related effects are the major source of performance fluctuations in long-haul
systems. Understanding the system implications of polarization-dependent loss, polarization …

A new rigorous formulation to evaluate the performance of optical receivers with arbitrary
optical filtering and partially polarised noise is proposed. The formulation is based on the …

We report on the effect of the partially polarized amplified spontaneous emission noise on
the Q-factor estimation by using optical signal-to-noise ratio. The result shows that this effect …

In this paper, we outline a methodology for calculating the performance—in particular the bit
error rate—in optical fiber communications systems. We propose the development of an …
