title = "Analysis of polarization-mode dispersion compensators using importance sampling",
abstract = "We use importance sampling to analyze polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensators that consist of a single differential-group delay (DGD) element. Using this technique we show that while these compensators improve the average penalty due to PMD, they may degrade the outage probability.",
