B. Huttner et N. Gisin, ANOMALOUS PULSE SPREADING IN BIREFRINGENT OPTICAL FIBERS WITH POLARIZATION-DEPENDENT LOSSES, Optics letters, 22(8), 1997, pp. 504-506
A combination of polarization-mode dispersion and polarization-depende
nt losses in optical fibers map lead to anomalous pulse spreading. We
both calculate this effect and confirm its existence by an experimenta
l demonstration. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
