Abstract :
Using slow polarization scrambling to improve transmission performance simultaneously for multichannel of deployment ready DWDM system with reconfigurable OADM nodes is presented. It showed that the power fluctuation and maximum PreFEC BER can be reduced by using slow polarization scrambling.
