  • Publication number: 20140055786
    Abstract: This invention relates to a near real time optical compensation verification system for verifying a fiber or fiber component through internal or external compensation to achieve equivalently free space propagation of a broadband light when coupled into fiber. Preferably, no component is added to the fiber or fiber component, and the compensation method is realized through real time fiber bending, twisting or other means at either or both ends of a fiber or fiber component. The output optical characteristics of the compensated fiber or fiber component are measured by a polarimeter through changing the input light properties. The required multi-variable compensation to achieve Unitary Matrix free space condition is computed in near real time, and as the feedback to formulate the required compensation. The disclosed invention not only enhances yield in the fiber and fiber component, but also accelerates the optimization of optical fiber sensors employed free space fiber coil.
