Abstract :
An all-optical space-time coding technique for polarization diversity transmissions is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Based on the wavelength-shift-free optical phase conjugation technique, the Alamouti-type polarization-time coding is realized in the optical domain without additional electro-optic modulation circuits.
