Study of Polarization Mode Dispersion in the Optical Digital Connection to High Bit Rate

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) is a factor which limits the bit rate of the optical transmissions. The PMD is such an effect which is time broadening due to the dependence of the group velocity to the signal polarization. The deformation effects of the impulses become considerable from 40 Gb/s. This paper, we reviews the degrade PMD effect in the telecommunications optical connections to high bit rate, due to the evolution of quality factor (Q) according to the fiber length, bit rate and PMD coefficient , well as the impact PMD on the degree of polarization and electrical power, we discuss also the representation of the polarization state and PMD vector on the Poincare sphere.
