Abstract

The polarization mode dispersion (PMD) that restricts the transmission bandwidth was investigated in standard long single mode fiber which optimized at 1.3${\mu}m$. Although fiber has perfect circular symmetry, each optical fiber has different refractive index profiles. The investigation of PMD with random mode couplings were conducted in three kinds of fiber by the time-domain interferometric method. By using two manufacturing methods, MCVD(Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition) method and VAD(Vapor Phase Axial Deposition) method, the property of mechanical asymmetric lateral pressure, bending and twisting induced polarization mode dispersion were measured. The concatenated optical fibers were compared with other types.
