The influence of the third-order dispersion (TOD) on polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is investigated. It is found that the TOD effect destroys orthogonal polarization modes in optical birefringent fibers. A new method is proposed to compensate for the PMD by means of cascading the fibers with the positive and negative TOD. This has been proved to be practicable in long transmission.
