The group delay spectrum of each polarisation mode is independently measured over the whole 1-0-1-73/mi spectral range. The polarisation mode dispersion is obtained by direct subtraction of the group delay spectra.birefringencelight interferometrylight polarisationoptical dispersionoptical fibres1 to 1.73 micronbirefringent single-mode fibreschromatic dispersiongroup delay spectruminterferometric measurementoptical fibrespolarisation mode dispersionspectral rangetext::journal::journal article::research article
