We investigated Berry's phase for noncyclic evolution using the rotation of a polarization azimuth of linearly polarized light in a partially wound optical fiber over the surface of a cylinder. Using a rotation gauge around the rotation axis, the observed rotation of the polarization azimuth corresponds to the area of a spherical rectangle over the surface enclosed by the contour C of actual evolution, a large circle on the equator, and a longitudinal line connecting them, whereas the rotation of the polar gauge encloses a spherical triangle connecting the zenith of the sphere. The observed values were converted to Berry's phase by transformation from the rotation gauge to the geodesic gauge. Consequently, we could confirm that Berry's phase for a noncyclic evolution is given by the geodesic rule proposed by Samuel and Bhandari.
