Abstract

In this article we propose the way to measure the beat length of the embedded linear birefringence in optical Spun fibers and give theoretical basis of this method. This explanation is based on the model of helical structure of the birefringence axis. The measurement method is based on a measuring of the period of fringe pattern that obtained by passing the light through the Spun fiber placed between two polarizers.
