Using the coupled-mode theory, a theoretical model to analyze the effects of lateral load and external twist on polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) of spun and unspun fibres has been developed. Modeling results show that spun and unspun fibres have very different PMD responses to lateral load and external twist. Experimental results show good agreement with the theory.
