This invention provides a low-crosstalk signal demodulation device and method for fiber optic laser communication, belonging to the field of fiber optic communication technology. The device includes a fiber optic signal input port, an optical circulator, a polarization beam splitter / combiner module, a balanced photodetector unit, a low-noise amplification and quadrature demodulation module, an adaptive crosstalk cancellation unit, a MIMO equalization and decision unit, and a digital signal output port, connected in series according to the signal flow direction. It also includes a crosstalk monitoring and feedback unit bidirectionally connected to the low-noise amplification and quadrature demodulation module, the adaptive crosstalk cancellation unit, and the MIMO equalization and decision unit. This invention, employing the aforementioned low-crosstalk signal demodulation device and method for fiber optic laser communication, overcomes the limitations of traditional single-domain crosstalk suppression. Through the synergistic effect of optical path, circuit, and algorithm layers, it effectively suppresses crosstalk caused by multi-channel multiplexing, polarization mode dispersion, and backscattering, significantly improving demodulation accuracy, anti-interference capability, and system stability.

A method and system of measuring the PMD of an optical fiber under test (FUT). A polarization-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (POTDR) is used to inject into the FUT and from a proximal end thereof, a test signal comprising a series of repeated light pulses and detecting a corresponding polarization-analyzed return light signal coming back from the optical fiber and representing back-reflected light from a light reflector connected to a distal end of the FUT. The plurality of polarization-sensitive acquisitions defines at least one pair of acquisitions performed with mutually different but closely-spaced wavelengths and substantially the same state of polarization (SOP). The process may be repeated for a plurality of pairs of acquisitions performed with at least one of a plurality of mutually-different center wavelengths and a plurality of mutually-different SOPs, and a value of the PMD for the FUT is calculated therefrom.
