Abstract:
We demonstrate wideband all-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation by applying high-speed spectral polarization sensing and ultrafast pulse shaping techniques to characterize and correct the frequency-dependent Jones matrix associated with PMD of optical fibers on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis. We report full compensation of approximately 800 fs pulses distorted to more than 10 ps by a PMD module with approximately 5.5 ps mean differential group delay. The sensing and compensation of Jones matrix take approximately 200 and approximately 500 ms, respectively.
