Abstract: A spectrometer-polarimeter is described for the measurement of the wavelength-dependent general birefringence of single-mode optical fibers and fiber-optic devices. The polarizer rotates, the analyzer is stepped, and a Fourier transform yields the principal axes and retardation. The Poincare representation of polarization is used throughout.

Origins and control of polarization effects in single-mode fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the basic birefringences that couple the two modes and change the polarization state along the fiber are reviewed, and three cases of uniform, phase-matched, and random coupling are considered.

I Polarimetric optical fibers and sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the physical origin of the perturbations on the lowest-order mode propagation in highly birefringent (HB) polarization-maintaining fibers, together with their impact on applications in optical fiber sensors and systems.

Single-loop polarization stabilization for single-mode fiber.
TL;DR: A simple active control system is described that maintains the output of a single-mode fiber at prescribed polarization and intensity, thus counteracting erratic birefringeance effects in the fiber that are due to temperature drift and mechanical disturbances.

Polarization optics of twisted single-mode fibers
R. Ulrich,A. Simon +1 more
TL;DR: In twisted single-mode optical fibers the polarization of light is affected by an elastooptically induced optical activity and by a modification of any linear birefringence present.

Bending-induced birefringence in single-mode fibers
TL;DR: In a bent optical fiber, lateral internal stress induces a birefringence, betab, where r is the fiber radius and R is the bending radius.

Linear polarization in birefringent single‐mode fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, singlemode fibers which maintain linear polarization are described and the fibers are birefringent and linear polarization is maintained along either of the two principal axes of the fibers.

Acoustic sensing with a single coiled monomode fiber
TL;DR: A single monomode fiber-optic acoustic sensor is proposed, which differentially changes the phase velocities of the polarization eigenmodes in a tension-coiled fiber, leading to a polarization rotation of the transmitted light.

Single‐polarization optical fibers: Slab model
Ivan P. Kaminow,V. Ramaswamy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that sufficient anisotropic strain birefringence can be introduced into germanosilicate, phosphosilicates, and borosilicate singlemode fibers to reduce the coupling between orthogonally polarized modes to a level of practical interest for single-mode single-polarization propagation.
