Abstract:The measurement accuracy of polarization cross-coupling strength based on white-light interferometry obviously decreases in long-distance polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), due to the difference of dispersion between two eigenmodes (birefringence dispersion). In this paper, we demonstrate a bidirectional measurement method with the scheme including a polarization maintaining coupler, a magnetic optical circulator and an Optical Coherence Domain Polarimeter (OCDP). The experiment setup and results are descri… Show more
