Abstract
We report the frequency dependence of polarization mode dispersion(PMD) in a PMD compensator based on six cascaded birefringent crystalsseparated by Faraday rotators. When all crystal axes are aligned, thedevice can compensate for the first-order PMD. However, if all crystalaxes are coupled with arbitrary angles, it can compensate forhigh-order PMD. The variations of differential group delay andprincipal state of polarization with optical frequency are analysed.The PMD vector and Stokes components of the device versus wavelengthare measured. The theoretical simulations agree well with theexperimental results.
