An improved estimation of bit-error-rate (BER) for electrically multiplexed duty-cycle division multiplexing (E-DCDM), which is based on the probability of error, is presented. Performance of 3 x 10 Gbit/s E-DCDM is investigated in terms of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and dispersion toleran...
