โข There are 3 main themes in these approaches:
1. Frequency-domain analysis, modeling MPI as Link RIN. [1], [6]
2. Time-domain mixing, looking at MPI statistics.[2], [4], [5]
3. Upper-bound approach, looking only at bounds of MPI process.[3]
โข The following is a brief overview of each approach.

โข Link RIN spectral power density is calculated by formula (15) in Ref. [1],
where Rc is an effective reflection coefficient of the link connections
(assumed polarization axis of the two fields are the same as the worst case
condition), is a spectral width of the laser and ๐ is a round-trip path
(reflection) delay time and N is a number of connection points.
This condition is assumed as a phase difference between direct and each
double reflected signal is under the worst case (90 deg) conditions.

Link RIN approach: Conclusion
โข Frequency Domain, Link RIN approach can give us requirement for spectral linewidth of laser source.
โข The narrower linewidth laser is, the lower penalty due to less phase-to-intensity noise conversion.

โข The phases can be taken as i.i.d. random variables on [0,2ฯ) as long as {21;22} are greater than the laser coherence time.
If they are less than the coherence time, phases are still random, but are not fully independent.
โข Monte Carlo approach used to calculate amplitude at RX. Randomize values of s and ฯ, all of which are uniform random variables.
(s(t) is a discrete random variable, ฯ(t) is continuous)
โข A histogram can then be calculated which described the power levels seen by the RX for each symbol.
By the central limit theorem, the histograms are Guassian, so we can use erfc() to calculate BER and penalty as usual.
โข If the path delay differences are less than the laser coherence time, this model will underestimate BER and penalties.
This model become more accurate with more connectors and greater link length.

โข PAM-8 and PAM-16 PMD will need a new lower reflectance value, in order to achieve robust performance against MPI.
โข We propose a value of 35 dB.
โข One option to achieve the same effect is to use APC connector plugs at MDI.
โข An option more compatible to installed base is to specify a PMD with low reflectance value. Implementation of this feature is known art. Several feasible and cost-effective implementations exist (stubs, angles, coatings, off-axis optics, etc.)
