Abstract

Recently, Jones matrix parameter shift keying (JMPSK) technique has been proposed in the literature to achieve phase noise and polarization state insensitive optical communication systems. The aim of this paper is to examine the performance of this system in the presence of system impairments, namely channel dichroism. A comprehensive analysis is presented to assess the effect of dichroism on the bit-error-rate (BER) characteristics of JMPSK receiver.
