Abstract :
We demonstrate that polarization scrambling combined with degree of polarization (DOP) evaluation enables polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation without feedback fading due to varying input polarization. PMD of an installed fiber as well as PMD of an emulator was successfully compensated.
