Basics ofCross-Polarization Modulation

(XPolM)

birefringence alters signal polarization

signal polarization can be described by Stokes vectors or SOPs (states of polarization)

XPolM results from birefringence modulation due to Kerr nonlinearity

XPolM manifests as rotation of Stokes vectors / SOPs and the PMD vector(rotation axis is the sum of all WDM Stokes vectors)

in WDM systems, each transmitted symbol experiences a quasi-unique sequence of elementary rotations

SOP diffusion (signal depolarization) can be detrimental for PolMUX systems

PMD vector diffusion can adversely affect PMD compensation

Are these effects relevant for my system(s)?

1. measure - too late

2. simulate - WDM + PMD = tens of CPU days (per configuration)

3. analytical model - has to be sufficiently accurate

XPolM rotation axis (sum of many Stokes vectors) is a Gaussian random process

assuming isotropy, it is fully parameterized by the axis variance

the variance of a stochastic process is determined by (double) integration over its covariance function

present model describes the covariance function of the Stokes sum taking into account - pulse profile (shape, length, magnitude) - attenuation - walk-off between channels - polarization decorrelation between channels

not included: - intrachannel linear and nonlinear distortions - depolarization in neighboring channels

from the axis variance can be derived:

- the resulting SOP statistics (Roberts-Ursell distribution)

- a simple relation for the DOP DOP = exp (− ²/3 · σ²)

DOP/SOP statistics are well suited to test the model

first-order model for XPolM has been developed

simple / usable in a non-numerical way symbol rate transparent approximation of the impact of XPolM comparison of system parameters/mitigation methods orders of magnitude faster than numerical simulations

(post-compensation) PMD vector statistics can also be derived

actual transmission penalties must still be derived
