    "abstract": "We investigate the dependence of the bit-error-rate (BER) caused by amplifier\nnoise in a linear optical fiber telecommunication system on the fiber\nbirefringence. We show that the probability distribution function (PDF) of BER\nobtained by averaging over many realizations of birefringent disorder has an\nextended tail corresponding to anomalously large values of BER. We specifically\ndiscuss the dependence of the tail on such details of the pulse detection at\nthe fiber output as \"setting the clock\" and filtering procedures.",
