Abstract :
Spin profiles transferred into fibers during the drawing process are accurately determined by jointly exploiting an experimental cut-back method with a deterministic waveplate model. In particular, sinusoidal spin profiles are reconstructed, experimentally confirming the existence of a substantial discrepancy between the applied spin and the one actually frozen in the fiber
