ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of an optical fiber, includes estimating PMD when an optical fiber is formed as an optical cable, from a beat length when the optical fiber is wound around a bobbin, and an average coupling length when the optical fiber is formed as the optical cable.
