BIREFRINGENCE AND DISPERSION OF POLARIZATION IN A SINGLE-MODE FIBER CONSIDERED AS STOCHASTIC-PROCESSES

If we consider random disturbances on an ensemble of single-mode fibres or planar devices, we must also treat the polarization dispersion, birefringence and other fibre parameters as random processes with their statistical characteristics. This work contains an explicit calculation of statistical parameters - average, variance and autocorrelation of random birefringence and polarization dispersion in single-mode media under random disturbances, both internal and external.
