Abstract(in English) This paper presents a comparison of various polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurement methods. Also, the results of an extensive intercomparison of the ITU-T PMD round robin measurements, coordinated by KDD are presented and discussed. The seventeen laboratories from all over the world participated in the intercomparison of the PMD round robin measurements. It was found that the air path type interferometric method, Jones matrix eigenanalysis method, Poincare sphere method and state of polarization method were superior to the fiber reference type interferometric method, and the fixed analyzer methods with extrema counting and Fourier transformation analysis.
