    摘要: A detection system includes a length of optical fiber and an OTDR coupled to the optical fiber. The OTDR includes a radiation source providing pulsed radiation to the fiber, a detector detecting radiation that is backscattered through the fiber, and a processor capable of analyzing the variation of the radiation that is backscattered through the fiber. At least two polarization dependent sensing elements are positioned along the length of optical fiber.

    摘要: Disclosed is an optical fiber (20) having a centermost laterally-elongated core (30) having a short dimension (a), a long dimension (b) and a first refractive index (n1), a moat (40) surrounding the central laterally-elongated core, the moat (40) having a second refractive index (n2), an outer dimension (c) and an outer dimension (d), and a cladding (50) surrounding the moat (40), the cladding (50) having a third refractive index (n3), wherein n1>n3>n2, a ratio of b/a is between 1.5 and 5.0, and a ratio of d/a is between 2.0 and 7.0. The fiber exhibits polarization maintaining properties in a PMB situated below (i.e., at shorter wavelength than SPB), such that beat length normalized to 1550 nm wavelength is preferably less than 10 mm. The fiber (20) may be coupled to optical components in apparatus where single polarization or polarization maintaining properties are desired.
