摘要
Light is coupled into two polarization modes of a waveguide (S1), e.g., an optical fiber. The spectral response of Rayleigh backscatter in the waveguide segment for the two polarization modes is measured (S2), e.g., using OFDR, OTDR, OLCR, etc. The autocorrelation of the spectral response is calculated (S3). The spectral (wavelength) shift from a main autocorrelation peak to a side autocorrelation peak, corresponding to one of the two polarization modes of the waveguide segment, is determined (S4). The spectral shift, corresponding to a beat length of the waveguide segment, is multiplied by an average index of refraction to determine a birefringence of the waveguide segment (S5).
