Adaptive PMD Compensation using OFDM in Long-Haul 10Gb/s DWDM Systems

In this paper, we show OFDM can adaptively compensate for large all-order PMD without requiring feedback. We demonstrate error-free transmission on a 1920km 40xlOGb/s DWDM link with 48ps mean DGD in presence of fiber nonlineariry.
