cross-phase modulation (XPM)and cross-polarization modulation (XPolM)
systems with large XPM impairment are affected(e.g. selective 10G 40G/100G upgrades) fully polarized signal becomes depolarized
depolarization can be visualized on the Poincaré sphere quantified by nonlinear DOP reduction XPolM model exists to predict this magnitude* * Winter et al., JLT 17 (27), p. 3739, 2009.
single-polarization Tx is replaced by PolDM Tx Rx signal processing can follow PMD changes, but not XPolM
Rx polarization misalignment generates crosstalk between PolDM subchannels statistically, crosstalk depends only on the degree of polarization and the source amplitude
interleaving RZ-shaped symbols minimizes crosstalk amplitude at target sampling instant even with interleaving, the crosstalk is never zero, but significantly smallerdue to signal distortions, noise, etc.
nonlinear threshold of the NRZ interferers is reduced by 2dB due to XPolM(1dB when interleaving is used) 10 × 10G NRZ interferers w/ 25Gbaud PolDM-RZ-QPSK probe
at 2 dBm, fluctuations become comparable toXPM-related spread at 4 dBm (3 dBm when interleaving is used) ROSNR penalties at 2 dBm NRZ power (mean DOP = 0.984)
XPolM-induced depolarization leads to crosstalk between PolDM subchannels interleaving the subchannels can significantly reduce the crosstalk penalty (but not eliminate it) the mean nonlinear DOP reduction for 25 Gbaud PolDM-RZ-QPSK should not exceed 0.98 the resulting 10G NRZ interferer NLT penalty is up to2 dB over XPM alone
