Polarization mode dispersion emulation and the impact of high first-order PMD segments in optical telecommunication systems

In this study, focus is centred on the measurement and emulation of first-order (FO-) and second-order (SO-) polarization mode dispersion (PMD). PMD has deleterious effects on the performance of high speed optical transmission network systems from 10 Gb/s and above. The first step was characterising...
