Abstract
This letter proposes a novel method to estimate the outage probability of a system, taking into account all polarization-mode-dispersion orders. Markov chains and dependent sampling are used to drastically reduce the number of simulations required to estimate rare events. The method is very simple and fast, and its accuracy can be monitored and increased at will.Keywords
