Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for compensating for PMD-related distortions in optical transmission systems and in particular transmission fibers.
- the polarization mode dispersion comprises all polarization-dependent propagation time effects in which the signal propagation can be completely described by the propagation behavior of two mutually independent and mutually orthogonal polarization modes. Since birefringence changes constantly due to external influences such as temperature and mechanical stress, and also depends on the wavelength, changes permanent both the position of the "Principal States of Polarization" (PSP) and the transit time difference between the PSPs. This is also called second order polarization mode dispersion.
- PSP Principal Polarization
- Distortions in transmission systems which are generated by polarization mode dispersion (PMD), have to be compensated for high-speed data transmission in order to maintain the signal quality.
- PMD polarization mode dispersion
- An arrangement with which such PMD-related distortions can be compensated must have a measuring device for the PMD-related distortions. Furthermore, there must be (at least) one emulation unit for adjustable PMD values and (at least) one adaptation element or a polarization transformation element which adapts the PSPs of the signals emerging from a transmission system to the PSPs of the PMD emulation unit.

- both the emulation unit and the measuring device for the PMD-related distortions are further developed.
- the emulation unit has a PMD emulator, which also emulates the 2nd order PMD and simulates the PMD of a real transmission fiber as precisely as possible.
- Such an emulation unit is described in the parallel patent application by the same applicant and has an arrangement for compensating for the first-order dispersion.
- the light After passing through this arrangement, the light enters an element which rotates the main polarization axes in front of and behind the element by a suitable angle to one another.
- the light signal emerging from this element is fed into an arrangement which consists of a polarization splitter / combiner element, a delay path and a further polarization splitter / combiner element for merging the two signal paths.
- Elements serves as an input connection for the signal.
- This signal then runs through the delay line and the first polarization splitter / combiner element in the opposite direction to the incoming signal.
- This signal is then coupled out at the fourth gate of the first polarization splitter / combiner element.
- the decoupled signal then has the desired first and second order polarization mode dispersion.
- an emulation unit for adjustable PMD values which has at least one delay line which is supplied with the input signal via at least one polarization control element unit.

If four prisms are combined into a cube, one can use a balance receiver as the receiver, the signal being split into the different polarization components and the detection with the balance receiver (s) suppressing interference which is present without a useful signal.
