PDM-QPSK: on the system benefits arising from temporally interleaving polarization tributaries at 100Gb/s

Opt Express. 2009 Oct 26;17(22):19902-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.019902.

Abstract

We experimentally study, over a dispersion-managed link relying on low chromatic dispersion fibre, the origins of the system benefits provided by temporally interleaving the polarization tributaries of 100Gb/s coherent RZ-PDM-QPSK by half a symbol period. Hence, we demonstrate that the amount of benefits provided by this technique is dependent on the configuration of the WDM transmission system.
