Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel technique that compensates for the higher-order PMD by using a polarization controller and phase modulator in the transmitter as well as a traditional first-order compensator in the receiver. In our method, the receiver end compensates for first-order PMD, whereas the transmitter end compensates for the higher-order PMD components.
