PMD SOURCE: A PROPOSAL FOR A REFERENCE STANDARD DEVELOPMENT

Alexandre Bessa dos Santos, Giovanna Borghi, Janaina Ferreira, Jean Pierre von der Weid
  • Abstract:
    This paper presents the development of a controllable PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion) source based on piezoelectric actuators as the element responsible for the birefringence variation. This device will be able to reproduce the PMD quantity in a controlled way in order to use it as a reliable metrological reference.
