Abstract

A short recirculating fiber loop (/spl sim/100 km) that can emulate polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) with Maxwellian statistics is realized by loop-synchronous polarization scrambling inside the loop. The performance of our distribution-correct PMD loop is. compared both experimentally and numerically to that of a distribution-incorrect PMD loop.
