Interferometric measurements on highly birefringent singlemode fibres have been performed. The group delay spectrum of each polarisation mode is independently measured over the whole 1-0-1-73/mi spectral range. The polarisation mode dispersion is obtained by direct subtraction of the group delay spectra.
