Abstract :
The timewise evolution of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) is measured. PMD varies very slowly in 120 km installed optical submarine cable. The measured timewise evolution of PMD suggests that compensation with a response time shorter than a few minutes can greatly reduce the system performance degradation caused by PMD.
