Abstract :
We experimentally and numerically compare the statistics of power fading for double sideband (DSB) and single sideband (SSB) subcarrier-multiplexed signals under high polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) conditions (average differential group delay (DGD) 40 ps) with and without dynamic first-order polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) compensation. We find that both SSB-SCM and DSB-SCM subcarrier multiplexed signals exhibit similar sensitivity to PMD-induced power fading. Reduces the worst case fading penalty by -20 dB.
