Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the use of optical
reflectometry in optical fibres for the measurement of magnetic
field. The dedicated application concerns the measurement of
plasma current in the fusion reactor. The measurement is
based on the rotation of the polarization state of the Rayleigh
backscattered signal when an optical pulse is launched in the
fibre. Particular care has been undertaken to evaluate the impact
of linear birefringence on the measurement performance.
