Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel, adaptive optical polarization mode dispersion equalizer in a 10-Gb/s transmission experiment. The equalizer comprises a fast electrooptic polarization transformer an adjustable differential polarization delay line, and a simple electric distortion analyzer for automatic feedback control
