Abstract
Polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) measurements in 4564 km of dispersi on shifted fibre (DSF) with 138 cascaded Er-doped fibre amplifiers (ED FAs) are presented for the first time. The PMD in the 4564 km EDFA sys tem was measured to be approximately 16 ps. Square-root dependency wit h length of 0.20-0.30 ps/square-root (km) in a 4564 km EDFA system is also demonstrated. The PMD value from 20 to 30 ps is estimated for a 1 0 000 km transoceanic optical amplifier repeater system.
