Distributed Polarization X-talk Measurement for the production of Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Coils
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This note introduces the use of distributed polarization x-talk measurement for raw polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) quality inspection, PMF coil winding process monitoring, PMF coil adhesive curing and stress release monitoring, overall PMF coil quality inspection, and temperature induced stress determination. PMF birefringence temperature variation can also be precisely measured. The use of distributed polarization x-talk measurement at all of these stages of the process can greatly improve the performance of the finished PMF coils.

Method for improving the resolution and accuracy against birefringence dispersion in distributed polarization cross-talk measurements.
We present a novel method for improving the spatial resolution and amplitude accuracy of distributed polarization cross-talk measurements in a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber against its birefringence dispersion. We show that the broadening of measured polarization cross-talk peaks caused by birefringence dispersion can be restored by simply multiplying the measurement data with a compensat...

We present a method to accurately measure the group birefringence variation with temperature in high-birefringence polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers using a distributed polarization analyzer. By analyzing polarization cross-talk peaks purposely induced at both ends of a PM fiber, the temperature coefficient of group birefringence can be accurately obtained. We confirm the theoretical predict...

Distributed stress sensor with a scanning Michelson white light interferometer can be used to detect stress distribution and its value by analyzing polarization mode coupling caused by stress field in PMFs (polarization maintaining fibers). In the measurement of polarization coupling, the birefringence in sensing fiber is usually considered to be wavelength-independent. The spatial resolution o...

ABSTRACT We propose and experimentally demonstrate the highest-resolution BOTDA system ever reported using Brillouin dynamic grating in a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF). Acoustic waves containing the information of local Brillouin frequency are generated by a long pump pulse in one polarization, and read out by a short probe pulse in the orthogonal polarization at a clearly distinct optic...
