About the session

We present experimentally and analytically the intensity noise effect resulting from depolarization caused by guided acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) in a digital coherent transmission. The TR2m GAWBS modes produce polarization-crosstalk of -42.3~-37.9 dB in a 150~160 km fibre and this is detrimental to long-haul transmission.
