Methods to Construct Programmable PMD Sources—Part II: Instrument Demonstrations

Optical Fiber Measurement

“…Interested readers on the statistics of DGD generated by different types of PMD emulators can find details at [38,39,40,41]. Different control mechanisms and algorithms, such as the control of SOP or optical phase retardation between birefringence sections or the PM fiber sections control of the DGD provided by each section, may exhibit different PMD statistics.…”
