Modulation phase-shift measurement of PMD using only four launched polarisation states: a new algorithm

Published

Author(s)

Paul A. Williams

Abstract

A new algorithm is presented for measuring differential group delay in optical fibres and components using the modulation phase-shift technique which only requires the launching of four polarisation states.
