Abstract
A comparison of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) measurements between the Jones matrix eigenanalysis and the interferometric technique is presented. A large range of PMD delays between 0.1 and 20 ps have been taken into account. The results show a very good agreement in the range up to 5 ps. The slope of a linear fit deviates <3 % from unity. Taking into account the values in the higher range up to 20 ps, a deviation of 13% from unity is obtained.Keywords
