High birefringence in tension-coiled single-mode fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Coiling a single-mode fiber of radius r under tension onto a cylinder of radius R produces a linear birefringence of βtc ≃ 28 × 107 2r/R deg/m in the fiber at λ = 0.63 μm, where z is the relative fiber elongation. Polarization beat lengths down to 2.5 cm have been realized this way, providing excellent polarization holding.
