Abstract :
The authors show that three concatenated first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) segments are sufficient to compensate any first- and second-order PMD present in a transmission fiber. They determine analytically the required individual rotation matrix of the polarization rotators and the required differential group delay for the variable delay line in the compensator.
