Abstract

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