Abstract

An excellent polarization-dependent gain (PDG) suppression technique using a polarization scrambler is proposed in this letter. Investigations on PDG due to signal-to-signal Raman interaction among 40 wavelength-division-multiplexer signal channels were carried out experimentally to evaluate the system performance after incorporating a polarization scrambler in the system. It was confirmed by experiment that the use of polarization scrambler is an effective way to reduce PDG caused by signal-to-signal Raman interaction.
