B. Perny et al., POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION - LARGE-SCALE COMPARISON OF JONES MATRIXEIGENANALYSIS AGAINST INTERFEROMETRIC MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES, Electronics Letters, 32(7), 1996, pp. 680-681
comparison of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) measurements between
the Jones matrix eienanalysis and the interferometric technique is pre
sented. A large range of PMD delays between 0.1 and 20ps have been tak
en into account. The results show a very good agreement in the range u
p to 5ps. The slope of a linear Fit deviates <3% from unity. Taking in
to account the values in the higher range up to 20ps, a deviation of 1
3% from unity is obtained.
