The variation of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) with V-parameter in single mode optical fibers due to core-ellipticity is studied by performing numerical simulations taking into account both geometrical and thermal-stress-induced birefringences as well as the variation of fiber refractive indice

โฆ Synopsis
Of all the statistical properties of fibers, those originating from polarization-dependent effects, which lead to the polarization mode dispersion (PMD), are the most important ones in ultra-high bit rate transmission beyond 10 Gb/s. Solitons are more robust against pulse distortions caused by PMD because of their nonlinear self-trapping property. In this paper, we discuss effects of PMD on soliton transmission. In particular, the dependence of the map strength of dispersion-managed solitons on robustness against PMD will be presented.
