Implications of Polarization in Telecommunications

• coherent communications

• Mach-Zehnder modulators

• semiconductor optical amplifiers

• interaction with component PDL/PDG ??intensity noise

• interaction with PD bandpass-filter wavelength

• interaction with fiber birefringence and mode coupling (1st-order PMD)

• interaction with PMD/chromatic dispersion (2nd-order PMD)

• Effect on Brillouin, FWM, Raman amplitudes in long fibers.
