## Abstract A lowβcoherence technique in a Michelson interferometer for measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) was tested. The measured PMD mean value for one reel, in a period of several days, was 0.0405 Β± 0.0008 ps/km^1/2^ and for the other reel, it was 0.0463 Β± 0.0004 ps/km^1/2^. Stochasti
In order to measure small-angle rotations, the two mirrors of a Michelson interferometer are replaced by right-angle prisms. By increasing the distance between the two prisms and by means of an electronic fringe divider technique, the resolution can be increased to 10 5 degree, with a range of measu
