Abstract
A monitoring technique is demonstrated that utilizes polarization orthogonality and heterodyne mixing to measure the in-band optical-signal-to-noise-ratio. This technique is insensitive to PMD and nonlinear polarization scattering, and operates independently of the optical signal properties.
