title: Full polarimetric phase-noise-compensated optical-frequency-domain reflectometry for distributed measurement of high-PMD fibers.
abstract: Full polarimetric reflectometry is realized with a spatial resolution of 10 cm over 20 km based on phase-noise-compensated optical-frequency-domain reflectometry, with a polarization-diversity-detection scheme. The distributed differential-group-delay measurement of high-polarization-mode-dispersion fibers is realized using this technology.
