ABSTRACT:
A method for the adaptive adjustment of a PMD compensator in optical fiber communication systems with the compensator comprising a cascade of adjustable optical devices through which passes an optical signal to be compensated and comprising the steps of computing the Stokes parameters S0, S1, S2, S3in a number Q of different frequencies of the signal output from the compensator, producing control signals for parameters of at least some of said adjustable optical devices so as to make virtually constant said Stokes parameters computed at different frequencies. A compensator comprising a cascade of adjustable optical devices (12-14) through which passes an optical signal to be compensated, an adjustment system which takes the components y1(t) e y2(t) on the two orthogonal polarizations from the signal at the compensator output, and which comprises a controller (15, 16) which on the basis of said components computes the Stokes parameters S0, S1, S2, S3in a number Q of different frequencies of the signal output by the compensator and which emits control signals for at least some of said adjustable optical devices so as to make virtually constant the Stokes parameters computed at the different frequencies.
