THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION EMULATOR.

The PMF (Polarization Maintaining Fiber) concatenation model is an important model in studying PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion). In this paper, two numerical models are established based on Jones matrix and Mueller matrix. Then we perform the numerical simulation. The results indicate that the statistical probability distribution of PMD approximates the Maxwell distribution more closely with the increasing of the number of degree of freedom. The efficiency of the two ways is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
