Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate chromatic dispersion insensitive monitoring of either time misalignment or PMD accumulation in an 80-Gb/s Pol-MUX RZ-DPSK signal using a polarimeter. The monitored DOP decreases 20% and 10.8% with 12.5-ps time misalignment at the transmitter and 12-ps in-line DGD, respectively.
