Abstract
Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) specifies a performance of long-haul and multigigabit-per-second optical-amplifying transmission systems. In such a system inclusion of fiber splicings is inevitable. In the past, system degradation due to PMD was studied1 and fiber splicing was known to force fast and slow modes to couple and reduce PMD.2
