N2 - We show experimentally and theoretically that the magnitude and direction of the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) vector of a WDM channel is significantly affected by nonlinear polarization crosstalk from neighboring channels within the PMD correlation bandwidth. We use our model to estimate the effect the nonlinear interactions may have on the PMD-induced penalty.
