Influence of Polarization Mode Dispersion on Optical Communication Network at High Bit Rate 10 Gbps

Abstract

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) plays a great role in high bit rate optical communication systems. This factor had been studied thoroughly in this article of optical layout simulation by (OptiSystem7.0). This simulation had revealed some interesting features of (PMD) relating its major parameters, i.e, (PMD coefficient(D PMD )), mean scattering section, and scattering section dispersion). An optimum values have found for the mentioned parameters were: D PMD = 2, mean scattering section=150, scattering section dispersion=110. The opportunity to study the influence of PMD on high bit rate network can be of a substantial benefits to engineer the optical communication network.
