Polarization Multiplexing Modulation in Fiber-Optic Communication Lines

Volodymyr V. Popovskyy, Nabeel Oudah Mnekhir

Abstract: The possible losses are analyzed in prospective method of coherent polarization multiplexing. The loss associated with a fully polarized and non-polarized components are considered. The adaptive method for compensation of non-polarized components is recommended. To eliminate the distortion caused by the rotation of the polarization plane of the received signals it is recommended to use circular polarizations.

Keywords: polarization mode dispersion, polarization degree, anisotropy, coherent determination, adaptive compensation
