Abstract
We demonstrate wideband all-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation by applying high-speed spectral polarization sensing and ultrafast pulse shaping techniques to characterize and correct the frequency-dependent Jones matrix associated with PMD of optical fibers on a wavelength-by-wavelength basis. We report full compensation of pulses distorted to more than by a PMD module with mean differential group delay. The sensing and compensation of Jones matrix take and , respectively.
