โฆ Synopsis
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 indices with wavelength. Simple empirical relations are given for calculating the mean PMD for any value of core-ellipticity and V-parameter of a standard single mode fiber. It is observed that the mean PMD saturates for V J 1.8 leading to very small second order PMD.

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 b
The pulse broadening of optical signals in a single mode fiber was studied theoretically in presence of polarization mode dispersion, polarization dependent losses, chromatic dispersion, and spectral chirping. Analytical expressions were derived for the parameters of pulse broadening characteristics
