Energy efficient carrier phase recovery for self-homodyne polarization-multiplexed QPSK

A reduction of up to 103 times in the carrier-phase estimation rate is demonstrated for self-homodyne, space-division multiplexed, PDM-QPSK systems. This enables a significant energy saving in receiver DSP for self-homodyne systems.
