ITU approves novel dispersion test
technique
EXFO's proprietary test method for characterising polarisation mode dispersion has been approved by the International Telecommunication Union.
EXFO's proprietary test method for characterising polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) has been approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) EXFO's test method, better known as generalised interferometric (Ginty) analysis, improves on and extends the scope of the traditional interferometric (Tinty) model: optical links, which contain erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs), can be tested end-to-end for PMD through Ginty analysis; PMD, down to experimental uncertainty, can now be measured (6fs, typical); and Ginty results are traceable to a reference test method known as Stokes Parameter Evaluation
