Single polarization optical fibers and methods of fabrication

摘要: Orthogonally polarized waves are more effectively decoupled in a waveguide that is fabricated manner so as to deliberately enhance stress-induced birefringence. This characteristic accomplished by introducing geometrical and material asymmetry the preform from which optical fiber drawn. Three methods of preparing disclosed. Optical waveguides capable transmitting power with only one direction polarization desirable for use integrated devices sensitive.
