Abstract

In summary, we have derived a first-order perturbation solution to describe the fibre polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) for spun fibers. The first-order expansion is valid beyond the validity range of standard first-order perturbation theory for a whole category of periodic spin profiles. Using the analytical results, we have analyzed the features for spun fibers. In particular, we have found that the PMD change factor is independent of the fiber beat length, and the spun fibers follow linear scaling for PMD increase along the fiber.
