چکیده
We describe a method of characterizing high-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Using a new expansion to approximate the Jones matrix of a polarization-dispersive medium, we study the length dependence of high-order PMD to the fourth order. A simple rule for the asymptotic behavior of PMD for short and long fibers is found. It is also shown that, in long fibers (~1000 km), at 40 Gbits/s the third- and fourth-order PMD may become comparable to the second-order PMD.

Study on High-order Polarization Mode Dispersion and its Compensation Method in High-speed Optical Communication Systems
With the development of high-speed, longdistance optical fiber communication systems, single-mode fiber polarization mode dispersion (PMD: Polarization mode dispersion) becomes one of the important factor limiting high-speed, long-distance optical fiber transmission. Polarization mode dispersion can cause pulse broadening in thedigital transmission system, result inter-symbol interference in di...
متن کاملCorrelation theory of polarization mode dispersion in optical fibers
A general theory is used to describe the correlation properties of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in a birefringent, linear, dispersive medium such as optical fibers. The theory includes the effects of frequency dependence of birefringence on all orders, and it is capable of providing statistical information about secondand higher-order correlations among the polarization and PMD vectors.

متن کاملA New Circular Polarization Metamaterial Ferrite Phase Shifter
In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...
متن کاملPolarization-maintaining higher-order mode fiber module with anomalous dispersion at 1 μm.
This Letter demonstrates a polarization-maintaining higher-order mode fiber module that has anomalous dispersion at 1 μm. The group velocity dispersion of the module is measured, showing a split of the two polarization axes. The excellent polarization-maintaining properties of the relevant fiber modes for the higher-order mode fiber are likewise demonstrated employing a new simple method for th...
متن کاملPrecision measurement of modal birefringence of highly birefringent fibers by periodic lateral force.
Applications of single-mode fibers to coherent optical fiber communication systems1 and fiber sensor systems2 require a definite state of polarization along the fiber length. Polarization-maintaining fibers such as elliptically clad3 and stress-applied4 single-mode fibers have a high internal birefringence that exceeds perturbing birefringence and produces linear polarization along the fiber. O...
