Abstract
Most polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation systems rely on many f
eedback parameters that contribute to complexity, instability, and speed li
mitations. We demonstrate a method that quickly and accurately determines t
he principal states of polarization of a fiber afflicted with PMD, This inf
ormation can be used in a feedforward configuration, thereby reducing the n
umber of feedback parameters in a complete compensation system.
