Abstract

We propose an electric-arc based scheme to generate the intensity-controllable weak polarization mode coupling (PMC) points in polarization maintaining fiber (PMF). The PMC intensity can be readily controlled from -70dB up to -40dB. The insert loss introduced by the scheme is negligible since it does not need to break and splice the PMF.As an example, we demonstrated a piece PMF with three introduced PMC points as a quasi-distributed temperature sensor at last.
