A PMD mitigation system is disclosed that is comprised of an interface coupled
to a control system. The interface receives an optical signal and transfers the
optical signal to the control system. The control system receives the optical signal
from the interface, recovers a clock signal from the optical signal, optically
reshapes the optical signal using the clock signal to generate a PMD mitigated
signal, and transfers the PMD mitigated signal to the interface. The interface
transmits the PMD mitigated signal. The PMD mitigation system advantageously mitigates
PMD in the optical signal by optically reshaping the optical signal.
