Abstract

The degree of polarization of an optical signal is measured by a polarimeter and used for providing a feedback signal to adjust adaptive optics of a polarization mode dispersion compensator. The polarization properties of the polarimeter are determined with high accuracy to match the polarimeter through calibration and used to produce the feedback signal.
