The reliability of 100-Gb/s polarization-multiplexed return-to-zero differential quadrature phase-shift keying transmission is demonstrated exploiting direct detection and automatic polarization stabilization.

Abstract

The reliability of 100-Gb/s polarization-multiplexed return-to-zero differential quadrature phase-shift keying transmission is demonstrated exploiting direct detection and automatic polarization stabilization. We experimentally verified a 2-dB chromatic dispersion tolerance of 100 ps/nm. Long-term stability has also been assessed by sampling the bit-error rate every 3 min over a continuous period of 8 h. Measurements are performed both in back-to-back and after 8.8 km uncompensated standard single-mode fiber, in the presence of a polarization scrambler.
