We propose and demonstrate a novel variable PDL emulator based on a LiNbO3 modulator. The proposed emulator could vary the PDL values simply by adjusting the b
We report on the effects of the polarization-dependent loss (PDL) on the polarization-multiplexed system. The result shows that the PDL of 0.9 dB could cause 1
An additional sensitivity penalty of burst mode receivers due to the extinction ratio is analyzed considering the specific transmitter control in Ethernet PON.
