“…Even the newly buried fibers contained parts with very high PMD, but they can be simply replaced instead of burying the whole route. The same authors then presented a field trial PMD measurement by POTDR in Germany [54].…”

A dual polarization (DP) radio over a free-space optical (FSO) communication link using a long-term evolution (LTE) radio signal is proposed and analyzed under different turbulence channel conditions. Radio signal transmission over the DP FSO channel is experimentally verified by means of error vector magnitude (EVM) statistics. We demonstrate that such a system, employing a 64 quadrature amplitude modulation at the frequency bands of 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz, evinces reliability with <8% of EVM in a turbulent channel. Based on the results, we show that transmitting the LTE signal over the FSO channel is a potential solution for last-mile access or backbone networks, when using multiple-input multiple-output based DP signals.

“…The polarization-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (P-OTDR) [15] is a useful tool for measuring the states of polarization (SOP) of backscattered lightwaves, from which we can know the beat length. Techniques for calculating birefringence, or even PMD, by employing the backscattered SOP measured with the P-OTDR, have progressed greatly [16][17][18][19][20]. However, the spatial resolution of the P-OTDR is limited to about 1 m, and this is often insufficient to recognize the short beat length induced by a high birefringence.…”
