R. Noe et al., Integrated optical LiNbO3 distributed polarisation mode dispersion compensator in 20Gbit/s transmission system, ELECTR LETT, 35(8), 1999, pp. 652-654
Polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) in existing fibres impairs transmission
at greater than or equal to: 10Gbit/s. A 43ps PMD compensator in X-cut, Y-p
ropagation Ti:LiNbO3 with cascaded TE-TM converters is presented and succes
sful operation at 20Gbit/s demonstrated.
