Abstract

A pulse shaper based polarization mode dispersion (PMD) emulator with the capability of generating arbitrary desired frequency-dependent PMD profiles is demonstrated. The PMD emulator provides a bandwidth of 8 nm at a spectral resolution of ~10 GHz. The pulse shaper acting as PMD emulator incorporates liquid crystal modulator arrays (LCM) with a total of 4 layers. The measured PMD vectors generated by the emulator are close to the desired (simulated) PMD vectors.
