1. A method using a polarimetric measurement device to localize a source of one or more State of Polarization (SOP) transients affecting one or more optical fibers, the method comprising:

  • subsequent to transmitting a signal into a fiber, receiving, at the polarimetric measurement device, the signal from one of the fiber and a second fiber substantially collocated with the fiber; and

    processing data from the polarimetric measurement device to determine a location of the one or more SOP transients.
