Abstract

Paper deals with measurement of polarization properties of fibers along incidence of different external effects as temperature, torsion and magnetic field. Study of polarization is important from the polarization dispersion point of view for communication systems and also in the area of interferometric and polarization sensors or general interferometric measurements. Analysis of individual effects is solved theoretically and practically in the series of works. Our contribution solves a relatively short part of fiber, where additionally fluctuation of power between both polarization modes could affect.
