A. Galtarossa et L. Palmieri, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PULSE BROADENING DUE TO POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION AND DIFFERENTIAL GROUP DELAY IN LONG SINGLEMODE FIBERS, Electronics Letters, 34(5), 1998, pp. 492-493
The authors present a theoretical analysis of pulse broadening due to
polarisation mode dispersion in long singlemode fibres. The results sh
ow that although differential group delay and pulse broadening have di
fferent probability density functions, a simple relationship holds for
average values.
