Abstract

The system performances in second-and third-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensations have been calculated analytically and a proper approach for the higher order PMD compensation has been investigated. The investigation has revealed that the frequency averaged higher order terms of the fiber link's PMD vector should be used as the coefficient vectors in emulating the frequency dependent compensation vector for higher order PMD compensation.
