Abstract

We studied the depolarization of the output pulses from a 9 m single mode optical fiber that was used in compression of pulses from a CW mode-locked Nd:YLF laser. The input pulses were linearly polarized. The degree of polarization of the output pulses was found to be asymmetric: greater than 0.98 for the input polarization oriented along one principal axis of the fiber, but less than 0.40 when the input polarization was along the orthogonal principal axis of the fiber.
