Channel coding for polarization-mode dispersion limited optical fiber transmission.
We investigate numerically the usefulness of Turbo and Reed-Solomon coding in the presence of Polarization-Mode Dispersion (PMD) using computer simulations. It is demonstrated that for a fixed level of PMD and a fixed data-rate, there is an optimal code overhead. This is in contrast to the case of negligible PMD, where high overhead codes perform best.
