Abstract
Theoretical basis of spun fibers and their ability to reduce Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) are discussed. In order to
overcome PMD-based problems, Amplitude Modulation Transmitted Carrier (AM-TC) profile is proposed. A comparative
analysis of spin profiles is made and spin parameters giving successful results for low-PMD fibers are obtained. Simulation
results show that for spin period of 1 m and spin amplitude of 2.76 turns/m, the proposed AM-TC spin profile provides better
PMD reduction results than the conventional ones. For different modulation index values of the AM-TC spin profile, the
differential group delay (DGD) obtained is under 1.4 fs..
