The light polarization fluctuations strongly affect the performance of coherent optical
communication systems due to the fact that to recover the information contained in the phase …

Coherent optical detection is a promising technique to increase sensitivity of optical sensors.
In a coherent optical detection system coupled to conventional single-mode fiber, its …

A novel detection scheme for polarisation modulation is proposed. It is independent of the
polarisation fluctuations of the received signal and is greatly insensitive to phase noise …

One proposed technique for the compensation of polarization mode dispersion involves
splitting the optical signal at the fiber output into orthogonal polarization components, with …

The authors present three different schemes that allow compensation of phase noise and
polarisation state change by sending a reference channel that is suitably frequency shifted …

The in-line fibre-optic polarisation analyser enabling measurement of full polarisation
parameters of light propagated in optical fibre is presented in the paper. This device uses a …

It is well known that in coherent lightwave communication the states of polarization between
the received signal wave and local oscillator wave have to be well matched. For most …

Polarization maintaining single-mode optical fibers are key components in the interferometry
of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). LISA's measurement principle relies on …

Progress toward 40-Gb/s polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation is presented in
several areas. A single-waveplate polarization scrambler that generates Stokes' parameters …
