Abstract

The rate at which light pulses spread in linear systems is determined by a key physical parameter, the polarization decorrelation length hE. Therefore it is the purpose of the study to determine hE through simulations using two physically reasonable models. The first model shows the birefringence orientation to vary randomly with the strength constant. In the second model, birefringence orientation and strength has a 2D Gaussian distribution. The results showed that the second model is almost the same as the 1st model and that in the 1st model, hE relied on the power spectral density of fluctuation spectrum at average beat length.
