Abstract :
This paper presents and experimentally validates an analytical model of the impact of signal and pilot tone (PT) skew in spatial-division multiplexing self-homodyne detection systems. It is shown that the novel model describes accurately the variance of the residual phase noise due to non-zero signal-PT skew as a function of the block length of the carrier phase recovery mechanism and linewidth of the transmission laser.
