PMD compensation using birefringence photonic crystal fiber in 40Gbit/s optical communication system

Abstract

A birefringence photonic crystal fiber is used for PMD compensation in a single-channel 40Gbit/s-speed optical communication system with CSRZ format. The experimental results of transmission show that the PMD compensation system works effectively.
