Abstract
We analyze the effects of PDL in the high-speed transmission system, under the PMD compensation environment. As the link PDL increases, the BER enhancement from the PMD compensator decreases sharply, making the PMD compensation technique much ineffective. Analysis with an 80km, 10Gbps system shows that even a minute link PDL of 0.5dB could seriously limit the system performance.
