In accordance with the present disclosure, disadvantages and problems associated with polarization dependent effects of a polarization multiplexed optical signal may be reduced through polarization scrambling. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure a method for detecting polarization scrambling of a polarization multiplexed optical signal comprises receiving a polarization multiplexed optical signal associated with an optical network. The polarization multiplexed optical signal including a scrambled polarization orientation, the polarization orientation scrambled according to a scrambling frequency. The method further comprising receiving a polarization signal indicating the polarization scrambling of the received optical signal. The method additionally comprises descrambling the optical signal according to the polarization scrambling as indicated by the polarization signal.
