Second-order Polarization Mode Dispersion and Its Statistical Characteristics in Single Mode Fiber
单模光纤中的二阶偏振模色散及其统计特性

The second-order Polarization Mode Dispersion of 22 km and 75 km single mode fiber were measured with Jones matrix eigenanalysis method and Poincare Sphere Method.The parallel component,perpendicular component,depolarization effect,PCD,the statistical charactristics and effects of these components were analyzed thorouly.The result is that the perpendicular component had a greater impact on pulse than that of the parallel component in mean. This will be a very helpful researching work for second-order PMD compensation.
