Abstract
A frequency domain determination of polarisation mode dispersion in single mode fibres is described, which allows one to obtain directly the group delay difference for long fibres. The results of such measurements are shown on a birefringent fibre with elliptical cross-section which maintains an extinction ratio between linearly polarised eigenstates greater than 10 dB over 1 km.
