Abstract

Countermeasures against the receiver sensitivity degradation due to the state of polarization change in single-mode fibers in coherent optical communication systems are reviewed from early efforts in 1980s to the latest research results. It is pointed out that the polarization-diversity schemes are considered to be the most promising solutions among various countermeasures for the future applications owing to its applicability to the systems with analogue as well as digital signal processing.
