PMD Study & Measurement – Fixed Analyzer Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper theoretically describes Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) which is important parameter in high-speed optical networks. Furthermore, compensation methods and measurement principles are presented. Main attention is given to Fixed Analyzer (FA) method that uses common research laboratory equipment in setup. We performed practical measurement of the PMD by using Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) Anritsu MS9740A, in-line polarizers and a polarization controller. To verify the accuracy of measurements Reference Measurement (RM) using a modular platform EXFO FTB-200 in combination with CD/PMD module EXFO FTB-5700 was performed. Moreover, PMD etalons with defined values of delay was used for measurement. All results were evaluated in comparison with defined limit values.

Polarization-mode-dispersion compensator using a polarization beam splitter and quarter-wave plates.
We propose a Michelson-interferometer-type polarization-mode-dispersion (PMD) compensator with one polarization beam splitter and quarter-wave plates. We experimentally demonstrate the proposed PMD compensator with fiber devices and show the PMD compensation ability to be 104 ps by the fixed-analyzer method.
متن کاملNon-blocking PMD monitoring in live optical systems
Introduction: In high-speed fibre-optic communication systems, polarisation-mode dispersion (PMD) is one of the most important factors of performance degradation. In-situ monitoring of PMD in live, multichannel WDM systems will be a key requirement for future dynamic optical networks to ensure quality of operation. Especially, for optical links with exceptionally high PMD values, an in-situ mon...
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 کاملA Hybrid Fault-Proneness Detection Approach Using Text Filtering and Static Code Analysis
We have proposed a fault-prone software module detection method using text-filtering approach, called Fault-proneness filtering. Even though the fault-proneness filtering achieved high accuracy in detecting fault-prone modules, the detail of each fault cannot be specified enough. We thus try to complete such weakness of the fault-proneness filtering by using static code analysis. To do so, we a...
متن کاملAutomated Program Analysis for Novice Programmers
This paper describes how to adapt a static code analyzer to help novice programmers realize their mistakes , as current analyzers give feedback which is not very useful for novice programmers. An extension to PMD was made so that feedback messages appear which are easier to understand for novice programmers. Firstly, the current limitations of PMD were looked at by looking at their feedback of ...
