PMD Calculation
For a particular PMD index number in the discrete lookup table, this function displays the
calculated wavelength dependence of the DGD and total SOPMD, as well as the
depolarization and polarization dependent chromatic dispersion (PDCD) components of
the SOPMD.
Selection parameters:
Bits of PMDPro: Discrete mode resolution (# of bits) of the PMD-1000. By default,
this value is 8.
DGD range: DGD range of the PMD-1000 (90 or 180 ps)
PMD ID#: index number for the PMD setting to be used for simulation
Start WL: starting wavelength (in nm) to be used for simulation
Stop WL: ending wavelength (in nm) to be used for simulation
Step: wavelength step (in nm) to be used for simulation
Once the parameters for the simulation are selected, click “Calculate” to run the
simulation.
Click “SET PMD” to execute the setting. The PMDPro’s output PMD does not change
until this button is clicked.
Exit
The Exit button (or the F9 function button on the keyboard) exits the program.
