Abstract

Many lightwave applications involve polarization-dependent processing of a received signal with an arbitrary state of polarization (SOP). Methods previously used to overcome the resulting signal fading include polarization diversity¹ and dynamic polarization scrambling, in which the SOP is forced to undergo extreme changes during a bit period.²
