    Background:

    • Polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers are crucial for optical communication systems.
    • Mode-coupling points in PM fibers can degrade signal quality.
    • Accurate localization of these points is essential for fiber characterization and performance optimization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a non-destructive method for identifying discrete mode-coupling points along PM fibers.
    • To leverage the optical Kerr effect for sensitive detection of mode coupling.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed a pump-probe experimental architecture.
    • Utilized the optical Kerr effect to induce and detect nonlinear polarization changes.
    • Analyzed the spectral and temporal signatures of the probe signal influenced by the pump.
