title: Effect of polarization-dependent loss on optical signal-to-noise ratio monitoring technique based on polarization-nulling method.
abstract: We analyzed the probability of errors in the measured optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) by using the polarization-nulling method, when the amplified spontaneous emission noise (ASE) is partially polarized due to the polarization-dependent loss (PDL) in the transmission link.
