Abstract
The effect of polarization mode dispersion that an optical signal experiences as it propagates through an optical transmission fiber is compensated for at a receiver using a birefringent compensator, in which a distortion analyzer repeatedly examines the signal outputted by the compensator and causes the compensator to reduce the effect of such polarization mode dispersion based on the results of such examination.

Device for compensating polarization dispersion in an optical transmission system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a mechanism for compensating the polarization dispersion suffered by an optical signal when it is transmitted by an orthogonal optical line by generating a differential time delay between two orthogonality modes and controlling the controller so that it converts the signal transmitted by the line into a compensated optical signal.

Method and apparatus for automatic compensation of first-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD)

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of polarization mode dispersion that an optical signal experiences as it propagates through an optical transmission fiber is compensated for at a receiver using a birefringent compensator, in which the compensator automatically and adaptively generates a level of differential time delay that substantially equals the optical signal experience, but of different sign, and, therefore, essentially cancels out the undesired delay.

Method and apparatus for compensating dispersion of polarization

TL;DR: In this paper, a signal light which is frequency-modulated by a predetermined frequency is supplied to an optical fiber, from which the signal light is sent to a polarization controller to constantly minimize the intensity, so that the polarization dispersion in a transmission line is compensated to suppress the deterioration of wave-shape.
