Combining data from different polarizations we extract the wavelength-resolved optical polarization state of the signals. Applications of this measurement to the study of polarization effects in communication signals are also presented.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116418972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bandwidth flexible optical networks, based on flex-grid ROADMs, have been proposed in the literature to support 400 Gb/s and 1 Tb/s super channels. In such systems, techniques including coherent optical OFDM and Nyquist WDM transmission may be employed to achieve channel spacing at or close to the symbol rate. Due to the reduction (or elimination) of inter-channel guard bands afforded by these techniques they are best served by optical comb sources which offer constant frequency spacing between the carriers, as opposed to independent lasers that do not. Moreover, a comb source that offers free spectral range (FSR) tunability allows a single source to be easily adapted to suit the chosen symbol rate. In order to be successfully employed in such systems, optical frequency comb sources should exhibit good spectral flatness, high frequency stability, low linewidth, and a tunable free spectral range (FSR).","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126639081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
