Abstract
We present, for what is believed to be the first time, a direct comparison of two basically differently working polarization mode dispersion compensation techniques, the first-order compensator working in optical domain and an adjustable transversal filter working in electrical domain. Based on numerical simulations we show the efficiency of both equalizers in presence of first- and higher order PMD applying a transmission at 10 Gbit/s. Furthermore we show the applicability of spectral filtering for penalty signal extraction in presence of higher order PMD and give an overview of adaptive blind channel equalization.
