Abstract
A quantum interferometric technique for measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of commercial telecommunication wavelength selective switch (WSS) demonstrates advantages of quantum optical technology over conventional measurement. It provides greater precision than that of currently available commercial PMD characterization devices thus saving a great deal of networking hardware resources that must be allocated for PMD compensation in metropolitan networks.
