The paper discusses influence of polarization mode dispersion on performance of polarimetric systems with highly birefringent fibers. It appeared that polarization mode dispersion strongly influences a degree of polarization that depends on coherence of the light source used and simultaneously diminishes dynamics of the output signal.
