Polarization mode dispersion compensation at 20 Gb/s with a compact distributed equalizer in LiNbO/sub 3/

PMD of existing fibers impairs transmission at rates greater than 10 Gb/s. We present a 43 ps PMD compensator in X-cut, /spl gamma/-propagation LiNbO/sub 3/ with cascaded TE-TM converters and demonstrate successful operation at 20 Gb/s.
