  • Abstract
    Polarization effects in coherent optical frequency domain reflectometry were evaluated. The use of a polarization average procedure completely eliminated these effects, giving rise to a measurement accuracy of 0.27 dB for an arbitrary polarization vector of the detected signal, without making use of polarization diversity receivers, which are not suitable to this case.
