  • Abstract
    For the first time the direct monitoring of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) and polarisation-dependent loss (PDL) in a traffic-carrying transatlantic fibre-optic system without the requirement of looping-back is reported. The impact of transmitter polarisation scrambling in the measured results is analysed and verified by the measured results.
