Non-Gaussian perturbations such as timing jitter can be identified from the shape of the histograms.enerror statisticsgaussian noiseoptical fibre communicationoptical fibre testingoptical fibre theoryoptical noiseperformance evaluationprobabilityq-factortiming jitterasynchronous amplitude histogramsperformance monitoringreturn-to-zero signalserror evaluationrz signalsasynchronously sampled return-to-zero amplitude histogramsduty cyclenongaussian perturbationshistogramshistogram shape621conference paper
