RF Interferometry Measurement of Beat Length in Polarization-Maintaining Fiber

A microwave photonics interferometric (MWPI) method for measuring the beat length in high birefringence polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) is proposed. The approach is based on the radio frequency (RF) interference between the two polarization modes propagating on the polarization axis in the PMF....
