Abstract

The coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations for two wavelength optical pulses in a birefringence fiber are given. The model for treating polarization mode dispersion in two channel (WDM) system is established. Based on this model, optical signal propagation behaviors in two channel WDM with polarization mode dispersion are numerically simulated. The influences of polarization mode dispersion on two channel WDM system are also analyzed.
