The effects of bending on randomly birefringent, single-mode optical fibers have been analyzed by means of polarization-sensitive optical frequency domain reflectometry. This distributed, pointwise characterization has been performed on ad hoc drawn spun fibers and on a ribbon cable. Experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical predictions and confirm the effectiveness of reflectometry as a means to characterize polarization properties of optical fibers.
通过偏振敏感光频域反射计分析了弯曲对随机双折射单模光纤的影响。这种分布式的、逐点的特性分析是在特殊拉制的光纤和带状光缆上进行的。实验结果与理论预测相符，证实了反射计作为一种光纤偏振特性描述方法的有效性。
