Abstract

In long optical-amplifier transmission systems the deleterious effects of polarization hole burning1 are reduced by scrambling the state of polarization of the transmitted optical signal.2 This polarization scrambling can cause timing jitter3 in the received signal. The jitter is a manifestation of the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) in the transmission fiber and the polarization scrambler.
