ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for detecting when the birefringent axes of two polarization preserving fibers have their ends oriented into a position to locate the respective axes at 45 degrees. A fusion splicer and a heating controller for the fiber sensing coil are added to a reciprocal interferometer to produce a predetermined pattern of percent light intensity versus time in the returned light, when the axes are properly aligned for fusing. A computer may control the automatic making of depolarizers by this invention.
