A comparison between NRZ and RZ data formats with respect to PMD-induced system degradation
Paper in proceeding, 2001
We quantify the PMD-induced system outage probability by means of numerical simulations for NRZ and RZ with proper comparative conditions and find that RZ performs better than NRZ. We also study the trade-off between power margin and acceptable PMD.
