Polarization Echoes Based on Scatter De-correlation in Polarization Maintaining Fiber
Short Summary
High-resolution optical frequency domain reflectometry is used to observe fading of the polarization beat signature of PM fiber. Through dispersion management, a beat echo is observed at a later point in a fiber under test.
