Measurement of Polarization-Mode Dispersion
Polarization-mode dispersion is defined and characterized,using Poincare sphere and Jones matrix concepts. Interferometric, wavelength scanning, and Jones matrix eigenanalysis measurement methods are described. Instrumentation, especially the HP 8509B lightwave polarization analyzer, is discussed.
