ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring τPMDincludes a polarization controller (12) that allows first (second) incident light, in a synthetic incident light to an object to be measured (30), to be in line with a p-polarization (s-polarization) axis in a polarization separator (16). The phase shift equivalent value (optical angle frequency differentiation) and amplitude equivalent value (square value) of a first (second) incident light component in an output from the polarization separator (16) measured by a first (second) measuring unit (20a, 20b) are respectively the phase shift equivalent value and amplitude equivalent value of a first column T11, T21(second column T12, T22) when the transfer function matrix of the object (30) is a 2×2 matrix to thereby allow a control unit (2) to determine the polarization mode dispersion τPMDof the object (30).
