摘要: We investigate the effect of a discrete source polarization-dependent loss in polarization-modulated optical links, using Jones- and Stokes-vector description. derive an expression for output photocurrent terms launch state link characteristics. verify theoretical description with experimental investigation photonic into which controlled losses are introduced. The results confirm surprising conclusion: distortion caused by is equivalent to simple system phase shift.
