Abstract
A method for predicting polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in an installed optical fiber. Values of PMD are measured for a first optical fiber at various points in time during the manufacture and installation of the first optical fiber. Values of PMD are identified that correspond to sensitive ones of the various points in time. A set of correlation coefficients is calculated based on the values of PMD corresponding to the sensitive ones of the various points in time. An installed value of PMD for a second optical fiber is predicted based on the set of correlation coefficients.
