Abstract
A method for distributedly measuring polarization transmission matrices of an optical fiber includes steps of: inputting a fully polarized pulse into the optical fiber with linear birefringence only; and demodulating polarization states of Rayleigh backscattered light at different points on the optical fiber from a pulse input end; after demodulating, dividing the polarization states of the Rayleigh backscattered light into Q groups in sequence, wherein every three polarization states are divided into one group; calculating a transmission matrix of Group N; and solving the equation set using a numerical analysis method for obtaining multiple solutions, and screening the multiple solutions according to characteristics of the polarization transmission matrix, wherein each time of screening provides a unique solution M(N) of the equation set; continually updating Mvalues for iteration, so as to obtain the distribution of polarization transmission matrices of the optical fiber.
