The statistics of polarization-dependent loss in a recirculating loop
Vinegoni#, C.,
Karlsson, M.,
Petersson, M.,
and Sunnerud, H.
In this paper, we study the statistical distribution of the accumulated polarization-dependent loss (PDL) in a recirculating loop. The distribution is studied both via numerical simulations and with analytical theory and very good agreement is found between the two. In addition, we have experimentally obtained the probability density distribution for the PDL and, even in this case, we find good agreement with the predicted one. The mean accumulated PDL is found to grow linearly with the number of circulations N in contraposition to a straight-line system. Moreover, the statistical distribution tends to become uniformly distributed as N is increasing. Finally, the statistics of the PDL for a recirculating loop, when considering small values of PDL, is found to be equal to the statistics of the differential group delay for recirculating loops.

Statistics of PMD in recirculating loops
Petersson#, M.,
Vinegoni, C.,
Sunnerud, H.,
and Karlsson, M.
The statistical distribution of polarization-mode dispersion in a recirculating loop is investigated. Numerical simulations are performed in both Jones and Stokes space and are verified by experiments. The probability distribution of the differential group delay (DGD) is obtained numerically, theoretically, and experimentally. As the number of circulations increase, the probability density function of the DGD approaches a uniform distribution.

Emulator of first- and second-order polarization-mode dispersion
Wegmuller, M.,
Demma, S.,
Vinegoni, C.,
and Gisin#, N.
Contrary to approaches which try to mimic a standard fiber as closely as possible, the emulator presented here gives constant (but user adjustable) values for differential group delay (DGD) and ratio of first- to second-order polarization-mode dispersion (PMD). Once it is set, the ratio is conserved while the DGD can be easily varied within a range of 0-300 ps. This allows to investigate the low-probability events of large DGD and second-order PMD important for system outage.

Analysis of the polarization evolution in a ribbon cable using high-resolution coherent OFDR
Wegmuller, M.,

and Gisin#, N.
Exploiting the inherent polarization dependence and good spatial resolution of optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), the beatlength in a ribbon fiber can be straightforwardly measured. The results clearly show the different amount of polarization ordering for inner and outer ribbon fibers due to the stress-induced birefringence from the common outer coating.

All optical switching in a highly birefringent and a standard telecom fiber using a Faraday mirror stabilization scheme
Vinegoni#, C.,
Wegmuller, M.,
Huttner, B.,
and Gisin, N.
All-optical switching at 1.5 mu m based on induced nonlinear polarization rotation is demonstrated in both a polarization maintaining and a standard telecom fiber. Excellent switching stability is obtained in both cases by removing any detrimental temperature or pressure induced changes of the output polarization state with a Farady mirror stabilization scheme.
