Abstract
Starting from the differential equation that relates the Jones matrix of a polarization-mode dipersion (PMD) fiber to its output dispersion vector, th e analytical expressions of the matrix coefficients are determined in the c ase of a dispersion vector rotating on a circonference in the Stokes space. This model, that needs only few parameters with known statistics, is appli ed to evaluate the performance of an optical system. The results obtained w ith it and with other models proposed in literature are compared to those e valuated by numerical simulations with all-order PMD effects, showing that our model gives an accurate representation of real system performances.
