摘要: A two-stage polarization mode dispersion (PMD) emulator design consisting of two variable delay lines separated by a rotatable half-wave linear retarder is analyzed and shown to generate an adjustable amount first- second-order PMD without any higher orders. This configuration provides simple easy-to-breadboard solution for emulators. When compared with emulators based on birefringent crystals, this simpler calibrate.
