All-Channel PMD Mitigation Using Distributed Fast Polarization Scrambling in WDM Systems with FEC

We review the progresses on the simultaneous PMD mitigation for all channels in a WDM system with FEC using distributed fast polarization scrambling. The benefits and implementation considerations of this PMD mitigation technique are discussed.
