Simultaneous CD/PMD Compensating

Source: Comparison of Different PMD Configurations Based on Outage ProbabilityJDSUniversity, March 2002

In a head-to-head comparisons, it appears that:• Fixed-delay is good• Dual-fixed-delay is better• Variable-delay is best

PMD could be a problem in about:• 25% of installed fiber at 10Gb/s• 65% of fiber over 80km span at 40Gb/s
