Description
We use a polarization-maintaining low-coherence interferometer to characterize birefringent optical fibers. We show how it is possible to determine the phase and group birefringence, the orientation of the two eigenaxes and the difference of chromatic dispersions along the eigenaxes, performing three measurements only
