description Polarization division multiplexing (PDM) doubles the bitrate of flexible transponders, whereas the joint effects of fast state of polarization (SOP) rotations, first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and second-order PMD (SOPMD) would severely degrade the system performance. In this paper, we propose and experimentally validate a novel dynamic polarization demultiplexing scheme using extended Kalman filter (EKF) in digital signal processing of flexible receivers. The idea comes from two-stage PMD compensator in optical domain to perform SOP tracking and equalization of first-order PMD and SOPMD. After parameters optimization of EKF, the scheme can track up SOP rotations more than 35 times and 50 times faster than that of constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and CMA/multiple modulus algorithm (MMA), respectively. More importantly, when SOP keeps a fast rotation of 1.00, 10.00, or 20.02 Mrad/s, the system tolerances of first-order PMD and SOPMD that the joint scheme achieves are 28.57 ps and 793 ps<sup>2</sup> for 28 GBaud PDM-QPSK at optical signal-to-noise rate (OSNR) of 17 dB, and 50 ps and 4836 ps<sup>2</sup> for 10 GBaud PDM-16 quadratic-amplitude modulation (QAM) at OSNR of 23 dB, respectively. In addition, the proposed scheme has a fast convergence speed of about 50 symbols (equal to 5 ns). The calculation complexities of each symbol that the proposed scheme consumes are just about 44% of CMA for PDM-QPSK, and 31% of CMA/MMA for PDM-16 QAM.
