The optical path was consisted of an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) light source, a fiber Fabry -Perot tunable filter, two linear polarizes, the measured fiber and a phase compensation plate . Phase detection was chosen to reduce the error from environment influence . Phase compensation plate was applied to ensure the testing system always sensitive to the change of phase . The testing system was set up and tested in reality . The system performed well in the repeated test. It is simple and has no strict demand on these equipments . There is no limitation on the configuration and the length of the measured fiber. It is reliable for fibers witchs beat-length is up to 20 m. The beat-length precision of the measurement is 1%. Key words: beat-length; low -birefringence fiber; phase detection CLC number: TN253 Document code: A Article ID: 1007-2276-(2014)12-4066-06 基于偏光干涉效应的低双折射光纤拍长测试方法 徐宏杰，冯 宇 (北京航空航天大学仪器科学与光电工程学院，北京 100191)
