Abstract:
20 Gbit/s( 2 × 2 × 5 Gbit/s) Absolute Polar Duty Cycle Division Multiplexing (AP-DCDM)-Polarization Division Multiplexing (PolDM) over 180 km standard single-mode fiber has been experimentally demonstrated in order to double the capacity of PolDM and increase the maximum dispersion uncompensated reach. The AP-DCDM-POLDM performance is examined utilizing a polarization stabilizer. By increasing the length from 0 km (back-to-back) to 180 km the 10 Gbit/s single AP-DCDM channel without SOP stabilizer experienced ~1 dB penalty as compared to around 2 dB penalty when the SOP stabilizer is active.
