Impact of Polarization Controllers in Polarization-mode Dispersion Emulators

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

In this paper we will investigate how polarization controllers will impact on differential group delay (DGD) statistics for common models of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) emulators. The PMD-emulator is here considered to consist of polarization controllers between birefringent fiber-sections. A major new result of this investigation is that the DGD-statistics will only depend on the number of lambda-quarter plates used in the polarization controllers and that the number of lambda-half plates does not change the DGD-statistics.
