title: Stokes vector direct detection for short-reach optical communication.
abstract: We propose the Stokes vector direct detection (SV-DD) scheme which simultaneously achieves receiver phase diversity and the cancellation of photodetection nonlinearity. An 80  Gb/s single-polarization modulated SV-DD signal is successfully received after 160 km SSMF transmission with 11.64  bit/s/Hz electrical spectrum efficiency.
