N2 - We demonstrate for the first time an intensitymodulated
direct-detection link using four states of polarization.
The four data-independent tributaries are each assigned distinct
states of polarization to enable the receiver to separate the signals.
Polarization rotation due to propagation over optical fiber
is tracked and compensated with simple digital signal processing
in Stokes space. Transmission below the forward error correction
limit is shown for maximum net bitrates of 100 Gb/s (4 × 27 GBd)
and 120 Gb/s (4 × 32 GBd) over 2-km standard single-mode fiber
at a center wavelength of 1550 nm.
