  • Abstract
    We have demonstrated a broadband, wavelength sensitive polarimeter suitable for multichannel polarization and PMD monitoring. We were able to measure channel degree of polarisation (DOP), differential group delay (DGD), and principal state of polarisation (PSP) without any signal modulation at the transmitter. The WSP also has reduced polarization sensitivity when measuring channel power.
