Abstract
In this paper, a method and a device are proposed that allow measurement of
the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in a transmission line without data
traffic interruption. The PMD vector information is extracted from the opt
ical data signal spectrum. The method is experimentally verified by measuri
ng of firstorder PMD.
