PERFORMANCE OF POLARIZATION SHIFT KEYING SYSTEM INCORPORATING DIRECT DETECTION JONES MATRIX RECEIVER

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a new direct detection polarization shift keying (DD POLSK) receiver structure that is based on Jones matrix technique. The bit - error rate (BER) characteristics of the receiver is examined under system impairments and the results are compared with those related to other DD POLSK receivers reported in the literature. The results indicate that Jones matrix receiver is less sensitive to optical amplifier gain variation when compared with other receivers.
