            Abstract : 
We present approximations for eigenvalues of autocorrelation matrices in the presence of noncentral and signal-dependent noise as a function of eigenvalues of noiseless input. We derive error bounds for the approximations and discuss their properties. The results of the eigenanalysis are applied to the study of first-order polarization mode dispersion for optical systems. The simulation results demonstrate a good match between the approximated and true eigenvalues.
