Abstract
The invention disclose a device an a method for compensation of polarization mode dispersion comprising following steps: Measuring the degree of polarization of a signal at the receiver, Running an algorithm to find the maximum of degree of polarization, Comparing the degree of polarization with reference values of the compensation system in a data base, Switching the new starting point to the opposite side of the Poincare Sphere, when the reference value is under a definite threshold value and Selecting the new starting point from the data base.
