Accurate method for measuring the thermalcoefficient of groupbirefringence of polarization-maintaining fibers

2022-02-07
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 peaLs purposely induced at both ends of a PM fiber, the temperature coefiicienl of group birefringence can be accurately obtained. We confirm the theoretical prediction that Ihe group birefringence of PANDA and TIGER PM fibers decrease linearly with temperature from -40 °C lo 80°C, and find that the temperature coefficients are -5.9,3 x 10-7 °C_, and -5.29 x 10-7 °C_, for two types of PANDA fibers, and -5.36 x 10-7 for a TIGER fiber.
