Abstract

Direct numerical modeling of propagation of optical pulses is performed to determine the "tails" of the probability density function of marks and spaces and the statistics of errors in an optical communication link on the basis of a standard single-mode fiber and a dispersion-compensation fiber with a reduced density of marks in the initial bit sequence. Simple analytical approximations for the tails of the probability density function are determined, which allows accurate estimation of the error probability in the link.
