Propagation characteristics of single polarization fibers

Abstract

Detailed studies have been carried out for various dopants on the coupling length (L) of the two fundamental modes of orthogonal polarization to preserve a state of linear polarization over long lengths. Theoretical calculations indicate that L < 2.3 mm is essential to maintain good polarization. Two fundamental single polarization fibers, the elliptical-core and elliptical-clad fibers, have been prepared by CVD. Experimental results show that a B2O3 dopant yields a substantially large anisotropic birefringence than does GeO2 and P2O5. The effects of noncircularity and normalized frequency of the fiber on L have been experimentally considered.
