Abstract

We have experimentally found that, for a communication system with many PDL and PMD components, the global PDL and the product of the maximum and minimum transmission coefficients (T_maxT_min) are wavelength dependent, even though they were treated as wavelength independent in the most of the simulations. At a given wavelength, however the PDL and PMD elements are concatenated, the global T_maxT_min of the system is equal to the products of the T_maxT_min of each comprising element.
