Comparison of Polarization Mode Dispersion Emulators

چکیده
We analyze polarization mode dispersion (PMD) emulators comprised of a small number of sections of polarizationmaintaining fibers with polarization scattering at the beginning of each section. Unlike previously studied devices, these emulators allow the emulation of a whole ensemble of fibers. We derive analytical expressions and determine two main criteria that characterize the quality of PMD emulation. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Autocorrelation function for polarization mode dispersion emulators with rotators.
We derive a recursion relation for the frequency autocorrelation function of the polarization dispersion vector for polarization mode dispersion emulators with rotators. The autocorrelation function has a nonzero background for an emulator with a fixed number of sections. This background diminishes slowly as the number of sections grows. Randomizing the section lengths removes the autocorrelati...
متن کاملDeterministic approach to polarization mode dispersion
Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) is considered to be one of the most serious obstacles in the high speed optical telecommunication systems. This thesis focuses on a deterministic approach to both compensation and emulation of PMD. Most PMD compensation schemes in the literature rely on feedback loops to search for the optimum control parameters in the compensator. These schemes often suffer f...
متن کاملStatistics of Polarization-Mode Dispersion Emulators with Unequal Sections
We study two models for the generation of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) with unequal, fixed-length sections: an isotropic model, in which the orientations of all the sectional PMD vectors are taken to be randomly and uniformly varying across the Poincaré sphere, and a rotator model, in which all sections are taken to be linearly birefringent waveplates randomly rotatable with respect to on...
متن کاملTolerance of Fiber-Optic Systems to CD and PMD
We theoretically compare the tolerance to chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion of various modulation formats, electronic processing techniques, and optical equalizers. The comparison is given in terms of a target system outage probability.
متن کاملSuppression of Four Wave Mixing Based on the Pairing Combinations of Differently Linear-Polarized Optical Signals in WDM System
Data transmission in optical systems and increased transmission distance capacity benefit by using optical amplification wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology. The combination of four waves (FWM) is a non-linear effect in the wavelength division multiplex (WDM), when more than two wavelengths of light in a fiber launch will occur. FWM amount depends on the channel, the channel spaci...
