Abstract
This paper reports the prototype of optical polarization mode dispersion compensator (OPMDC) we have made to compensate the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in fibers. The OPMDC prototype designed was tested in a 43Gb/s RZ-DQPSK system either in the back-to-back case, or in a 1200km transmission testbed. It showed a good performance under the tests of fast SOP and PSP rotation, DGD variation, and moderate knock on the testbed in a period of 12 hours.
