Variable differential-group-delay module without second-order PMD

We propose a design for a variable differential-group-delay (DGD), formed by concatenation of four identical fixed DGD segments. Due to the symmetry involved, it produces zero second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD). The generated third-order PMD is half the value of the conventional two-seg...

Zusammenfassung:We propose a design for a variable differential-group-delay (DGD), formed by concatenation of four identical fixed DGD segments. Due to the symmetry involved, it produces zero second-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD). The generated third-order PMD is half the value of the conventional two-segment concatenation for variable DGD.
