Abstract

We report long-term polarization-insensitive operation of a parametric tunable dispersion compensator (P-TDC) in 43-Gb/s NRZ-OOK transmission over 105-km field-installed fiber. The P-TDC employs polarization diversity loop using polarization-maintaining highly nonlinear fiber with a low dispersion slope. Stable dispersion-managed transmission for more than 8 hours is achieved under the polarization-fluctuating conditions in the field-installed fiber.
