Abstract: The compensation of polarization-mode dispersion in long fibers by using principal states of polarization is limited in bandwidth, when these states vary with frequency. We characterize a compensator, containing high birefringent fibers and polarization controllers, which is adapted to these variation and promises enlarged bandwidth.
