The result shows that the PDL of 0.9 dB could cause 1-dB power penalty. Unlike PMD, the effect of PDL was not dependent on the transmission speed.展开更多

The proposed emulator could vary the PDL values simply by adjusting the bias voltage of modulator. The results show that the proposed PDL emulator could generate a wide range of PDL values (0 ~ 35 dB). The generated PDL value could be maintained within ±0.02 dB for >70 minutes. The wavelength dependency was about 0.03 dB in the range of 1520 nm~ 1590 nm.展开更多
