TLDR
The performance limit of CMA-based polarization demultiplexing through computer simulations is discussed and the method of improving its performance is demonstrated.
Abstract
In the digital coherent optical receiver, we can achieve polarization demultiplexing in the digital domain, using a two-by-two matrix controlled by the constant-modulus algorithm (CMA). In this paper, after elucidating the physics behind CMA for polarization demultiplexing, we discuss the performance limit of CMA-based polarization demultiplexing through computer simulations. The method of improving its performance is also demonstrated.

Compensation for In-Phase/Quadrature Imbalance in Coherent-Receiver Front End for Optical Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

TL;DR: Computer simulations for the dual-polarization quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM) format up to an order of 256 show that such IQ imbalances can severely degrade the system performance, especially for higher order QAM; however, using the proposed scheme, the system can compensate for them without any significant penalty.
