Suppression of Intra-channel Nonlinear Penalties in High-Speed Transmissions with Alternate Polarization Formats
23 February 2004
We discuss simple methods to generate alternate polarization (APol) formats, and experimentally study the transmission performance of the APol formats for both 40-Gb/s dispersion-managed (DM) systems and 10-Gb/s DM-soliton systems.
