Statistical determination of the length dependence of high-order polarization mode dispersion

Abstract

We describe a method of characterizing high-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Using a new expansion to approximate the Jones matrix of a polarization-dispersive medium, we study the length dependence of high-order PMD to the fourth order. A simple rule for the asymptotic behavior of PMD for short and long fibers is found. It is also shown that, in long fibers 1000 km, at 40 Gbits/s the third- and fourth-order PMD may become comparable to the second-order PMD.
