Abstract

The differential group delay of polarization mode dispersion is calculated using simple vector analysis and Fourier analysis in fibers with randomly varying birefringence. We show that under weak random birefringence conditions and assuming each dispersion component to be statistically independent and Gaussian distributed, the general formula for polarization decorrelation can be derived from the polarization coherence matrix without having to solve complex stochastic differential equations using Stratonovich integration. The polarization decorrelation length is dependent on autocorrelation length and average beat length of fiber.
