dc.description.abstract | In this paper a technique to measure the distributed birefringence
profile along optical fibers is proposed and experimentally validated. The
method is based on the spectral correlation between two sets of
orthogonally-polarized measurements acquired using a phase-sensitive
optical time-domain reflectometer (φOTDR). The correlation between the
two measured spectra gives a resonance (correlation) peak at a frequency
detuning that is proportional to the local refractive index difference between
the two orthogonal polarization axes of the fiber. In this way the method
enables local phase birefringence measurements at any position along
optical fibers, so that any longitudinal fluctuation can be precisely evaluated
with metric spatial resolution. The method has been experimentally
validated by measuring fibers with low and high birefringence, such as
standard single-mode fibers as well as conventional polarizationmaintaining
fibers. The technique has potential applications in the
characterization of optical fibers for telecommunications as well as in
distributed optical fiber sensing. | en |
