Polarization mode dispersion and the polarization decorrelation and diffusion lengths are
calculated in fibers with randomly varying birefringence. Two different physical models in …

Generally, light becomes scattered in space and time as it is coupled among multiple spatial
paths during propagation through disordered media or multimode waveguides. This limits …

Power-coupling models are inherently unable to describe certain mode coupling effects in
multimode fiber (MMF) when using coherent sources at high bit rates, such as polarization …

The polarization properties of single-mode optical fibers are theoretically modeled with use
of the Jones formalism. The fiber is described as an elliptical birefringent plate. The …

We derive, for what is believed to be the first time, the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the
polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) vector, which gives information on the bandwidths of …

A simple and exact analytical expression is derived for the amount of broadening that a
pulse suffers when it is subjected to the combined actions of polarization mode dispersion …

An adaptive polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation system has been
developed to cancel the effects of first-order PMD by producing a complementary PMD …

Using the retarded plate model, we derive the correlations and the mean-square values of
all orders of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) as well as the autocorrelation function of …

Although polarization mode dispersion is well characterized in terms of principal states of
polarization (PSP) and of their differential group delay (DGD), both analytically and …

Polarization mode dispersion of installed optical cables and of short concatenations of hi-bi
fibers have been measured with polarimetric and interferometric instruments. The results …
