The method comprises the following steps of: laterally irradiating incoherent parallel light to polarization-maintaining optical fibers of an axis to be fixed to ensure that a measurable light intensity distribution is formed on an observing plane of a micro objective, wherein the light intensity distribution is imaged on a camera by the micro objective to form a 'five-finger type' light intensity distribution curve; calculating autocorrelation coefficients of the light intensity distribution curve; and accurately fixing an axis for the polarization-maintaining optical fibers according to characteristic values of 'five-finger type' wave peaks and wave troughs. The method has no need to establish a standard curve any more, thereby significantly improving the axis fixing efficiency. The method is mainly suitable for the condition that the polarization axis is nearby 0 or 90 degrees and the requirement on axis fixing accuracy is very high, and generally, the requirement exists when a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler and a polarization-maintaining optical fiber polarizer are manufactured.
