We proposed a noble algorithm using DOP (degree of polarization) not only as feedback signal but alto as feed-forward signal for the compensation of higher-order PMD effect. In the proposed algorithm, DOP after the first-order PMD compensation is considered as the indicator of the amount of residual higher-order PMD. This algorithm has the merit that DOF (degree of freedom) of the system can be limited to the level of the first-order PMD compensation system. Owing to the limited DOF, the reliability of the system can be enhanced and the complexity of the implementation can be degraded. For the analysis of the algorithm, we simulated the 10Gbps NRZ transmission system and obtained the result that the system outage probability can be reduced as much as three times with respect to the only first-order PMD compensation case.

We investigate the effect of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) on the optimum dispersion compensation (ODC) monitoring and nonlinear penalty in optical transmission systems. We report that PMD may reduce the fiber nonlinearity. We also report that the monitoring error of the clock-based ODC monitoring technique decreases after the first-order PMD compensation. A simple explanation of this phenomenon is shown.

In this paper, the optimal performance of optical second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation has been investigated theoretically in terms of minimization of the root-mean-square (RMS) pulse broadening. The optimal compensation vector in feedforward-type second-order PMD compensation has been derived, and the RMS pulse broadening factor after the optimal second-order PMD compensation has been analytically calculated. The calculated result has been compared with the previously reported simulation result where numerically optimized feedback scheme was adopted. They are in good agreement, which verifies the validity of the derivation. The investigation in this work will form the basis for the implementation of the feed-forward-type second-order PMD compensation.

We analyze the effectiveness of the PMD compensation as a function of the link PDL, to acquire the guidelines for the successful deployment of PMDC. Result shows that the amount of BER improvement from the PMDC is decreased as the link PDL increases. Because PDL elements in the transmission system make well-defined two PSPs under the absence of PDL not orthogonal anymore, and proper definition of fast and slow polarization harder. Accordingly, consideration of PDL's potential effects must be needed for design of polarization mode dispersion compensation.sation.

A polarization mode dispersion(PMD) compensator with a reponse time less than 200ms has been developed. In our PMD compensator, a reset-free $LiNbO_3$ polarization controller was used in order to reduce the response time, and the compensation algorithm was based on maximization of degree of polarizaiton(DOP).

As speed and capacity of optical communication system increase dramatically, polarization-mode-dispersion compensation(PMDC) becomes a hot issue in these days. In this paper, we introduce a new state-of-polarization (SOP) tracking algorithm that can be used in a PMDC system. The new SOP tracking algorithm is also based on optical heterodyne coherent detection technique like the previous algorithm that we have reported before. However, unlike the previous algorithm, the new algorithm requires only three times of measurement in any circumstances to find the exact SOP information so that it can effectively be applied to PMDC system where very fast and stable operation is indispensible.

We experimentally investigated the transmission characteristics of 400 Gbit/s (10 Gbit/s ${\times}$ 40 channels) WDM signals with 100 GHz channel spacing over 323 km of installed NZ_DSF. The installed fiber has optical properties of 0.28 dB/km attenuation, 4.3 ps/nm/km dispersion, $0.083ps/nm^2/km$ dispersion slope and less than $0.05ps/km^{1/2}$ PMD coefficient. In this experiment, two cases of dispersion compensation schemes, the lumped type and the distributed type, were compared. The results implied that the distributed type dispersion compensation in which dispersion compensation devices are inserted at the end of the each span showed better transmission performance than the lumped one in which dispersion compensation devices are located at the transmitter and receiver sites. From the analysis of the experimental results, we verified that different transmission performance comes from the power penalty induced by XPM in the distributed scheme is lower than the lumped scheme case.
