Popis: Most polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation systems rely on many feedback parameters that contribute to complexity, instability, and speed limitations. We demonstrate a method that quickly and accurately determines the principal states of polarization of a fiber afflicted with PMD. This information can be used in a feedforward configuration, thereby reducing the number of feedback parameters in a complete compensation system.
