Abstract

Summary form only given. We present experimental and numerical results regarding polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) influence on ps-pulse transmission. We show the PMD-induced broadening of ps-pulses during transmission. By increasing the pulse peak power to soliton level, at which chromatic dispersion is compensated by self-phase modulation also the additional PMD-induced broadening can be partly suppressed.
