Performance of turbo equalizers for optical PMD channels

This paper investigates the performance of iterative (turbo) equalization to mitigate the effects of a polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) intensity-modulated optical-fiber transmission systems. A PMD can lead to severe distortions in the received electrical signal and is a...
