Abstract :
We have designed a deterministic 2nd order PMD compensator. This design is based on the assumption that the first order PMD has been compensated and we know the residual 2nd order PMD. In addition, we have solved analytically the required rotation matrices of the polarization rotators and the required differential group delay (DGD) of a variable delay line in a 3-segments compensator.
