This paper reports a new characterization method to evaluate Modal Birefringence (MB) and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) based on optical frequency domain interferometry using a Super Luminescent Diode (SLD). A SLD covering an optical wavelength range between 1400 and 1650 [nm] was used. Interference at every single frequency component in a SLD spectrum produces the so-called channeled spectrum, which is modulated in frequency by MB and PMD. A channeled spectrum was measured to evaluate MB and PMD. Typical Polarization Maintaining optical Fibers (PMF) and Isolator were measured as a function of optical wavelength. The comparison among different PMD measurement methods such as the Fixed Analyzer method, Interferometric Air path type method, Jones Matrix Eigenanalysis method and Random Polarization Modulation Phase Shift method was carried out using PMF. As a result, almost same results were obtained.
