Abstract

Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) is a significant barrier to achieving single-channel data rates at 10 Gbit/s and beyond in optical communication systems. There have been numerous proposals to use optical PMD compensators to mitigate this problem,1−7 and much of this work has focused on first-order compensators because they are the simplest to build, to control, and to analyze. Theoretical1−3 and experimental4-7 work has shown that first-order PMD compensators can significantly reduce the average pulse spreading and hence the average power penalty due to PMD. However, this average reduction does not address the issue of greatest practical importance.
