A Polarization Change Monitor by Eigenvalue Analysis in Coherent Receiver

A method is proposed to monitor polarization change of optical link. Several-hundred-krad/s polarization change was monitored within errors less than 20 and 50 krad/s in back-to-back and transmission experiments, respectively.
