Abstract

The effect of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on the mean instantaneous intensity (MII) of a pulse propagating in an optical fiber was analyzed. The MII was found to be related to the frequency autocorrelation of the fiber's Jones matrix through a Fourier transform. A derivation of the diffusion equation satisfied by the MII and the autocorrelation function of a Jones matrix was described.
