Simulation of PMD Cause in WDM Systems

Summary The model of signal propagation for two channel WDM system called coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations (NLSE) are introduced. We demonstrate effect of nonlinearities and birefringence in 2 channel WDM system. The simulation model and his numeric solution was designed including polarization mode dispersion (PMD). The coupled NLSE was applied on gaussian pulses.
