Direct polarization-heterodyne measurement of Kerr-induced birefringence in optical fibers. Pietralunga, S., M.; Tonini, A.; Martelli, P.; Ferrario, M.; and Martinelli, M. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 12(9):1231-1233, IEEE, 9, 2000.
Website abstract bibtex We have directly measured the amount of birefringence induced by nonlinear Kerr effect in standard optical fibers, by means of a double-polarization-heterodyne method, suitable for characterizing short samples of fibers. Birefringence is measured with a resolution of Δn≈10-12 and the optical Kerr coefficient is extracted. The agreement of experimental results and theoretical predictions confirms the accuracy of the technique.
