The PMD-601 is an integrated, flexible platform for developing PMD related techniques, especially PMD emulation and compensation. The platform can be configured for many different functions, including: (i) a PMD emulation platform that can provide the same functionalities as the PMDE-301 (all-order PMD emulation, DGD generation, first-order PMD emulation, polarization control and scrambling, slow dynamics, etc.) (ii) a PMD compensation development platform with different configurations; (iii) an integrated system with a PMD emulator followed by a PMD compensator. Up to six individual modules with different functions for PMD effects, including programmable or fixed DGDs, dynamic polarization controllers and a high-speed in-line polarimeter (providing instantaneous DOP information for PMD monitoring), can be configured according to various requirements or applications. This “all-in-one" platform provides a powerful development tool for system designers to combat one of the most challenging degradations in high performance systems - PMD.
