Generalized interferometric method for accurate match with DGD measurements and comparison against standard references

We summarize the key points of the Generalized Interferometric Method (GINTY), and we point out the basically exact match between the PMD value retrievedfrom GINTY and a measurable value deduced from DGD measurement over afinite wavelength range. Given this match, it should now be possible to develop standard references for GINTY-based analyzers ta be tested against: two main approaches are suggested.
