  • Abstract
    The state of polarisation was measured for 7 days in an aerial fibre during the wintertime. A biased probability density was found. This is contrary to the generally accepted uniform probability density. A Maxwellian probability density function for differential group delay at a fixed wavelength will thus not occur when measured on this fibre for a median time period
