Abstract

Polarization division multiplexing systems is a promising technique, able to double the capacity of next generation optical communication systems. However, the most common employed algorithms to recover the sources from the received data have the drawback of losing sources when polarization dependent loss is present. To tackle this problem, we propose different approaches based on independent component analysis algorithms.
