A method of operating an optical transmission and receiving system with a bit-to-bit polarization interleaved bitstream

摘要

A method of operating an optical transmission system is described. The transmission system is provided with a bit-to-bit polarization interleaved bitstream having a given bitrate. The transmission system comprises a birefringent element and/or a decision circuit. The birefringent element and/or the decision circuit are triggered by a trigger signal having a frequency of half of the bitrate. <IMAGE>
