Abstract :
Operations of an FSK heterodyne optical transmission system on the cable ship during the cable-laying, holding, and recovering process in a 6000 m-deep sea trial is demonstrated. It is shown that polarisation diversity is a powerful technique for application to optical fibre coherent systems in submarine cable systems
