Abstract
The authors present a technique for compensating for polarisation mode disp ersion (PMD) induced by a chirped Bragg grating by using a short length of highly birefringent fibre. A recirculating loop experiment demonstrates com plete PMD compensation of the chirped Bragg grating. This simple method can be extended to the deterministic PMD compensation of any component.
