  • Abstract
    The technique of polarisation optical time-domain reflectometry has been used to measure magnetic field through the use of the Faraday effect. A spatial resolution of 0.4 m was achieved, and a sensitivity corresponding to a magnetic field of 10¿3 T over a length of 0.5 m was obtained.
