Abstract
Exploiting the inherent polarization dependence and good spatial resolution
of optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), the beatlength in a ribb
on fiber can be straightforwardly measured. The results clearly show the di
fferent amount of polarization ordering for inner and outer ribbon fibers d
ue to the stress-induced birefringence from the common outer coating.
