摘要：A method and system enables measurement of polarization dependent loss

(PDL) in an optical communications system including a plurality of cascaded opticalcomponents. An optical signal having a predetermined initial polarization state islaunched into the optical communications system. A polarization state of the signal isdetected at a selected detection point downstream of the launch point. The PDE isevaluated using the predetermined initial polarization state and the detectedpolarization state.
