Abstract :
The difference between the polarisation fluctuations of an optical fibre submarine cable during laying and recovery in a 6000 m deep sea trial is discussed. State of polarisation variations in real time (≃ 6 msec) were measured by a Stokes parameter analyser using an LiNbO3 device. The maximum power spectra of the polarisation fluctuations during cable laying and recovery were less than 50 Hz
