Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems SOP evolution (without amplifier noise) 4 significant nonlinear depolarization rapid (symbol-to-symbol) fluctuations of the SOP what is going on and is this a problem?
5
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 5 cross-polarization modulation (XPolM) ► basics ► statistical models ► XPolM and polarization multiplex ► experiments
6
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems XPolM basics 6
7
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 7 XPolM is closely related to XPM nonlinear variation of the birefringence (index difference between x and y) refractive index proportional to sum of interfering channels‘ Stokes vectorspowers results in the modulation of signal polarization (phase difference between x and y) phase
8
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems nonlinear polarization effects known since at least 1969 ► e.g. Kerr shutter (Duguay and Hansen, APL, pp. 192+, 1969) XPolM first described in its „current version“ in 1995 ► Stokes space Manakov equation ► collision of two solitons ► Mollenauer et al., Optics Letters, pp. 2060+, 1995 many-channel formulation in 2006 ► Menyuk and Marks, JLT, pp. 2806+, 2006 8

10
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems statistical models 10
11
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems (interferer) Stokes vectors are not constant 11 ► length (intensity) varies due to walk-off ► (interferer and probe group velocity differs) ► direction (SOP) varies due to PMD ► (interferer and probe birefringence differs) ► both effects are random various models have been proposed to describe this behavior
12
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems ► carousel model (Bononi et al., JLT, pp. 1903+, 2003) ► pump and probe rotate when both carry a mark ► two-channel system, no PMD 12 ► diffusion model (Winter et al., JLT, pp. 3739+, 2009) ► SOPs evolve as random walk ► ensemble mean values only ► Karlsson‘s statistical model (JLT, pp. 4127+, 2006) ► influence on PMD compensation ► mostly two-channel system, no PMD dependence
13
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems SOP distribution resembles diffusion 13
14
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems DWDM power/channel threshold for mean probe DOP=0.97 ► resonant dispersion map, 10 × 10 Gbps OOK interferers ► @ 50 GHz spacing 14
15
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 15 depolarization of probe vs. number of 3 dBm interferers ► difficult to simulate, expensive to measure ► saturates at about 20
16
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems XPolM and polarization multiplex 16
17
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 17 ► selective upgrade: 10G NRZ » 100G PolDM RZ-QPSK ► fits into 50 GHz grid a typical PolDM system
18
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems polarization DEMUX must be aligned to PolDM subchannels (visualization in Jones space) 18 ► otherwise crosstalk occurs from x to y and vice versa ► crosstalk increases with misalignment angle and with ► length of field vector detected field at y-Rx:
19
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems modern coherent receivers can handle subchannel SOP changes with PMD time constants ► DCF abuse with a screwdriver: 280 µrad/ns (Krummrich and Kotten, OFC 2004, FI3) 19 XPolM causes symbol-to-symbol fluctuations around mean SOP ► cannot be compensated (again like XPM)
20
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems interleaving RZ-shaped symbols minimizes crosstalk generation 20 time field amplitude at y-Rx aligned subchannels interleaved subchannels ► crosstalk is never zero because pulses at Rx are no longer RZ (accumulated GVD, PMD, noise)
21
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 21 10 × 10G NRZ interferers w/ 100G PolDM-RZ-QPSK probe ► 256 ps/nm RDPS, 10 interferers, SSMF, no PMD ► power/channel threshold is reduced by up to 2 dB
22
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 22 the statistical ensemble (mean DOP = 0.975) ► DOPs and ROSNRs spread over large range ► for DOPs < 0.98 (0.97), ROSNR penalties become significant
23
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems Xie showed how PolDM interferers can cause negligible XPolM compared to single-polarization (PTL, pp. 274+, 2009) ► requires RZ pulse shape and subchannel interleaving ► neighboring half-symbol slots have orthogonal polarization states ► probe SOP oscillates but rotation does not accumulate 23
24
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems experiments 24
25
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 25 ► onset of nonlinear penalties at much lower powers ► (near) saturation of penalties for large channel spacing (van den Borne et al., ECOC, 2004, Mo 4.5.5)
26
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 26 ► saturation of penalties for large number of interferers (Renaudier et al., PTL, pp. 1816+, 2009)
27
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 27 ► benefit of PolDM vs. OOK interferers (Bertran-Pardo et al., OFC, 2008, OTuM5)
28

29
Marcus Winter: XPolM in Polarization-Multiplex Transmission Systems 29 ► XPolM in DWDM systems causes depolarization ► diffusion model correctly predicts simulated behavior ► depolarization creates detrimental PolDM crosstalk ► can be reduced by interleaving PolDM subchannels slides available at http://www.marcuswinter.de/publications/ST2010
