All-optic scheme for automatic polarization division demultiplexing

Abstract: We describe a cost effective scheme to automatically separate two polarization channels in a polarization division multiplexing (PDM) system, without having to modify the existing transmitter or receiver electronics or software. We experimentally validate the concept by achieving an extinction ratio of more than 28-dB between two demultiplexed channels. Finally, we successfully demonstrate the PDM scheme in a 1.12-Tb/s (14x2x40-Gb/s) system over 62-km of transmission fiber.

“…Light of such character is said to be linearly polarized, and maintains a constant direction of oscillation, and does vary spatially in a regular manner, producing either elliptically polarized or circularly polarized light (Fowles 1975;Jackson 1975;Pedrotti & Pedrotti 1987). Polarization characteristic have been used in radio transmission to reduce interference between channels, particularly at VHF frequencies and beyond (Masayoshi 2007;Yao et al 2007). Free-space communication has forced the use of circular polarization, which has the fundamental advantage of precluding disturbance from the reflections of signals (Leitch et al 2002;Elser et al 2009).…”

“…Through tuning PC 2 and PC 3 , the light wave from the LO laser source is co-polarized with the received optical signal. Note that in a practical system, PC 2 can be replaced by a dynamic PC, to accommodate the random polarization state of the input optical signal [16] . At the output of the coherent receiver two photocurrents are generated that are sampled by a digital storage oscilloscope (Agilent DSO-X 93204A) with a sampling rate of 80 GSa/s.…”
