A full duplex communication network includes a first coherent optics transceiver having (i) a first receiver, and (ii) a first transmitter configured to transmit a first dual polarized signal. The network further includes a second coherent optics transceiver having (i) a second receiver configured to receive the first dual polarized signal, and (ii) a second transmitter configured to transmit a second dual polarized signal. The network further includes an optical transport medium operably coupling the first coherent optics transceiver to the second coherent optics transceiver, and a first compensation module configured to filter (i) crosstalk between orthogonal components of the first dual polarized signal, and (ii) reflections between the first dual polarized signal and the second dual polarized signal.
