【Abstract】 To evaluate the impact of polarization mode dispersion, a long single mode fiber is modeled as a cascade of short birefringence sections with random coupling angles between the adjacent ones (namely cascaded model). The polarization mode dispersion is analyzed by the Jones matrix method. If the individual birefringence sections are of the same length, polarization mode dispersion varies periodically with the wavelength. It is far from the practical case. However, the wavelength periodicity elapses gradually when the individual sections length follows Gaussian distribution. With the standard deviation increasing up to 20% of the mean length, the periodicity disappears completely. Finally, the statistics of polarization mode dispersion is researched. It is concluded that, in the cascaded model for a long single mode fiber, the length of the short sections should follow Gausssian distribution with the standard deviation 20% of the mean value.更多还原
