Abstract
Effects of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on 2.48 Gb/s IM-DD light wave systems are experimentally observed by using PMD emulators made w ith segments of highly birefringent fiber with random-mode coupling sp lices, Random birefringence between mode couplings was also included i n the emulator, The measurements indicate that the eye diagram is corr upted by PMD values above 10 ps.
