Abstract

We describe the application of importance sampling to Monte-Carlo simulations of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers. The method allows rare PMD events to be simulated much more efficiently than with standard Monte-Carlo methods, thus making it possible to assess the effect of PMD on system outage probabilities at realistic bit error ratios.
