Abstract :
In this letter a multi cross-level density analysis procedure is applied to the dependence of the Stokes vector versus wavelength for DGD calculation. The procedure is similar to the procedure used in fixed analyzer method for average DGD calculation, but it provides a reduced uncertainty. The theoretical model and experimental data are presented.
