“…However, the statistical properties of RB polarization depend on the launched polarization. If the Stokes vector of the launched signal is (s 1 , s 2 , s 3 ), for far-away RB, the total power in the direction parallel to (s 1 , s 2 , −s 3 ) is two times more than that in the orthogonal direction [8]. If the launched signal is linearly polarized along the equator of the Poincaré sphere with s 3 = 0, RB is minimized in the orthogonal direction.…”

Polarization control is used in a tri-directional wavelength-reused system to reduce the power penalty caused by coherent mixing of the signal with Rayleigh backscattering noise. For a 25+25 km, 10 Gb/s tri-directional transmission system, the power penalty is 4.0 dB under the worst polarization control and could be reduced to 0.4 dB under optimal polarization control. The experimental results show that reusing the same wavelength is an efficient and promising method for tri-directional lightwave systems.
