  • Abstract
    We describe a model for polarisation dispersion in single-mode fibres of arbitrary length and configuration that is based on the existence of principal states of polarisation. These are two orthogonal input states of polarisation whose corresponding output states exhibit zero dispersion in their state of polarisation to first order.
