Abstract

The investigation of the polarization cross-coupling in fiber coils was made using white light Michelson interferometer. The white light interferometer has a light source of about 13nm spectral bandwidth and measurement resolution of less than -80dB. The measurement found that the 200m fiber coil has a polarization cross-coupling of about -64dB in average and -46dB in maximum.
