Distributed Birefringence Measurement of a Polarization-Maintaining Fiber With an Extended Range Based on an Enhanced Brillouin Dynamic Grating

A distributed birefringence measurement of a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) can be realized by using a Brillouin dynamic grating (BDG). However, the pump depletion decreases the intensity of the BDG along the PMF and limits the measurement range to a few hundred meters. We demonstrate a distri...
