Abstract :
The autocorrelation function (ACF) for the principal state of polarization (PSP) vector is reported. It is shown that the PSP vector ACF and the magnitude of the polarization-mode dispersion vector, i.e., the differential group delay (DGD) ACF are not independent. The PSP vector correlation bandwidth is verified to be narrower than that of the DGD.
