Abstract :
A polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) transient recorder setup was realized enabling for the first time to our knowledge the monitoring of fast PMD fluctuation with a bandwidth of up to 1 MHz. Thirty-six hours of observation of an installed field fiber exhibits significant PMD variation within 10 ms.
