Polarization maintaining fibers (PMFs) can keep linear polarization state against external perturbations by inducing a high effective refractive index difference (Δneff) along one polarization axis. For few mode polarization maintaining fibers (FM-PMFs), Δneff is applicable between both orthogonal linear polarization modes (e.g. LP_01x and LP_01y) and orthogonal degenerated modes (e.g. LP_11a and LP_11b), which can enable advanced functionalities in multiple-input multiple- output-free spatial division multiplexing systems and optical fiber sensing systems. Therefore, the measurement of Δneff for polarization modes and degenerated modes is very important for determining the quality of a FM-PMF. However, measurement of the Δneff for FM-PMFs can be complicated due to the requirement for generating and demultiplexing of the higher order modes (HOMs). In this paper, we propose to measure the Δneff of FM-PMFs using Spatially and Spectrally resolved imaging (S²) method for the first time. The presented method is simply by employing a tunable laser and an IR CCD camera, can avoid any mode converter or mode multiplexer/demultiplexer, featuring a rapid testing speed. A proof-of-concept experiment is carried out to measure FM-PMFs with a length of 1.1m and 5m. The Δneff between the orthogonal polarization modes (i.e. LP_11ax-11ay, LP_11bx-11by, LP_21ax-21ay, and LP21bx-21by) are characterized as 7.05×10^-4, 6.91×10^-4, 1.02×10^-3 and 1.04×10^-3 respectively. The Δneff of the orthogonal degenerated modes (i.e. LP_11ax-11bx, LP_11ay-11by, LP_21ax-21bx and LP_21ay-21by) are also characterized to be 1.39×10^-4, 1.24×10^-4, 5.61×10^-5 and 6.53×10^-5 respectively.
