Abstract
Analytically the effect of polarization dependent loss on a high speed fiber optic communication link has been investigated. significant co-relation between them and their various combinations produces different effects on the system behavior which has been together to observe the attenuation effect induced by PDL in a link containing multiple PDL elements. It is found that in the presence of PDL the Q-factor and BER at the receiver undergoes fluctuation causing the system to be unstable and results show that it is mainly due to optical signal-to-parallel-noise ratio (OSNRpar) that these parameters fluctuate. Generally the Q-factor, BER deteriorates as the value of average PDL in the link increases except for depolarized light for which the system parameters improves when PDL increases.
