Abstract :
Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography is proved an efficient nondestructive technique for spin profile reconstruction along spun fiber coils, allowing birefringence parameter spatial evolution to be recovered from Stokes analysis of backscattered light, with subcentimetric resolution
