ANALYSES OF THE DEPENDENCE OF PMD WITH TEMPERATURE IN OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

The polarization mode dispersion (PMD) statistics concerning the influence of the temperature dependence in an optical fiber was evaluated. The measured differential group delay (DGD) over a wavelength range was taken either varying the time or the temperature in a controlled environment. The PMD was analyzed as a temperature dependent quantity. The concepts about mean DGD were reviewed.
