PMD measurement is performed after loading of the waveform used for PMD
measurement.
Load the waveform for PMD measurement.
The following explains the structure of, and acquisition procedure for PMD measurement.
Wideband light

Polarization
controller
1.
Enter measurement conditions so that the entire wavelength range of the
wideband light source is measured. Set the resolution to about 0.1 nm.
2.
Press
SWEEP
. Next, press the
REPEAT
soft key. Repeat sweeping begins.
3.
While watching the waveform during repeat sweeping, adjust the polarization
controller so as to maximize the waveform’s peak/bottom difference (the level
difference between the maximum and minimum values).
4.
After the polarization controller has been adjusted, press the
SINGLE
soft key to
perform a single sweep. Acquisition of measured waveforms is complete.
