ABSTRACT:
A receiver for an optical transmission system, has a polarization diverse and phase diverse coherent optical receiver, and a digital adaptive equalizer for compensating for distortions in the optical signal introduced by the optical path. The entire field of the optical signal is mapped including phase and polarization information, to enable more complete compensation for impairments such as chromatic dispersion and PMD. Furthermore, it can also reduce the problems which have so far held back coherent optical detection from widespread implementation, such as polarization alignment and phase tracking. This can be applied to upgrade existing installed transmission routes to increase capacity without the expense of replacing the old fiber.
