Summary :

We propose and demonstrate a novel method to measure the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of optical devices. The device under test (DUT) is installed in a fiber laser cavity which can operate at multiwavelength. PMD can be evaluated by the wavelength spacing of the multiwavelength laser output spectrum. In our method, the maximum extrema wavelength is easier to be identified than in the conventional fixed-analyzer (FA) method. We measure the PMD of polarization maintaining fibers (PMFs) and the ITU-T round robin KDD samples.
