High-speed polarization shift keying lightpath labeling of 100 Gb/s DP-QPSK for programmable photonic networks

We present theoretical and experimental results on PolSK lightpath labels for 100 Gb/s DP-QPSK signals. A 100 Mb/s label data rate is confirmed, with several coding overhead ratios and PDL tolerance of up to 2dB.
