Abstract :
Progress in phase- and polarization-diversity coherent optical techniques has led to impressive receivers able to tolerate wide laser linewidth and large polarization fluctuations. The advantages and the drawbacks of diversity receivers, and recent experimental and theoretical research results are discussed
