Abstract (EN): A low-coherence technique in a Michelson interferometer for measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) was tested. The measured PMD mean value for one reel, in a period of several days, was 0.0405 +/-. 0.0008 ps/km(1/2) and for the other reel, it was 0.0463 +/- 0.0004 ps/km(1/2). Stochastic and random PMD behavior was observed. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 52:2310-2312, 2010; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
