Abstract

We numerically demonstrate the generation of large, broadband, and tunable polarization mode dispersion (PMD) with omnidirectionally reflecting dielectric stacks with embedded cavities. Both first-order and second-order polarization mode dispersion can be generated by similar configurations. Our examples show that the first-order PMD can be tuned from 0 to 30 ps over an 80 GHz bandwidth and second-order PMD from 0 to 50 ps/nm can be generated over a 100 GHz bandwidth. We also show that in our configuration there is no significant modal distortion of the light beams when the beam diameters exceed 3.5 mm.
