Abstract :
We developed a wideband deterministic all-order polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) generator which is based on ultrafast pulse shaping techniques. We demonstrated generation of arbitrary desired PMD profiles with variable mean differential group delays ranging from 2 to 5 ps over 10-nm bandwidth.
