A novel coherent optical receiver, suitable for LAN applications, is proposed. It is based on Stokes parameters detection and is insensitive to the instantaneous polarization state using a new decision criterion. Moreover, it is widely tolerant to laser phase noise and allows efficient utilization of channel bandwidth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
