Abstract:An all-optical bi-directional polarization demultiplexing self-homodyne coherent system is proposed. In the 120-Gbit/s 16-QAM experimental demonstration, one adaptive polarization controller is applied to lock the polarization of uplink and downlink light at the same time.
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.
