L. Chen et Xy. Bao, Polarization-dependent loss-induced pulse narrowing in birefringent optical fiber with finite differential group delay, J LIGHTW T, 18(5), 2000, pp. 665-667
A combination of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-depend
ent losses in optical fiber may lead to anomalous pulse narrowing despite t
he existence of finite differential group delay. It raises the issue for mo
re complete assessments when studying the pulse propagation in single-mode
fiber (SMF) in the presence of polarization-dependent loss.
