Abstract

The limitations of different techniques for first-order compensation of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) are examined. In the absence of chromatic dispersion the techniques can increase the allowable PMD value by factors ranging from 2.21 to 2.69. For the compensation technique in which the input state of polarization is aligned with the principal state of polarization that gives the least pulse distortion, the allowable PMD value is increased in the presence of chromatic dispersion. The effectiveness of the other compensation techniques is decreased in the presence of chromatic dispersion.
