Abstract

Selon l'invention, un signal optique est traité de façon à isoler au moins une dégradation de signal pour une mesure, par l'exploitation du fait que des éléments de signal provenant d'une dégradation donnée présentent ou non une dépendance statistique entre composantes de signal polarisées. Le signal optique est scindé pour produire une première et une seconde composante de signal optique qui sont polarisées distinctement, par exemple polarisées orthogonalement. Les première et seconde composantes de signal optique sont séparément converties vers le domaine électrique afin de produire des première et seconde composantes de signal électrique. Les première et seconde composantes de signal électrique sont traitées pour séparer des éléments de dégradation de signal corrélés, tels que des dégradations par dispersion de mode de polarisation (PMD), qui sont corrélés entre les première et seconde composantes de signal électrique, à partir d'éléments de dégradation de signal non corrélés, tels que du bruit d'émission spontanée amplifiée, qui sont non corrélés entre les première et seconde composantes de signal électrique.
