Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) is an optical effect that spreads or disperses an optical signal in single-mode fibers. In real single-mode optical fibers, imperfections cause the two possible polarizations to propagate at different phase velocities. In the case of a high data rate, long-length (>100 km) system, PMD can become a limiting factor for network spans when the effect of more traditional chromatic dispersion has.

In a, the zero-dispersion wavelength is the or wavelengths at which material and dispersion cancel one another. Single mode fiber has a small core (8-10 μm) and transmits light in only one mode, resulting in less dispersion and higher bandwidth over long distances.

Modal dispersion is a distortion mechanism occurring in and other, in which the signal is spread in time because the of the optical signal is not the same for all. Other names for this phenomenon include multimode distortion, multimode dispersion, modal distortion, intermodal distortion, intermodal dispersion, and intermodal delay distortion. At the transmitter, a spatial light modulator (SLM) controls the launched field pattern.
