Rotation of polarization in single mode optical fibers and its relation to Berry's Phase

Creator:

Sonawala, Paula

Abstract:

The polarization state of light in a single mode optical fiber may be changed by linear and circular birefringence intrinsic to the fiber or introduced by stress in the fiber due to external pressure, bends or twists. Rotation of polarization may also occur in the absence of any intrinsic or...

Evolution of polarization along a single mode fiber

Creator:

Anders, Juergen

Abstract:

This study investigates the polarization and magnetooptic properties of single-mode fibers. These are important for the development of single-mode fiber applications such as interferometric and electromagnetic field sensors and coherent communication systems, which rely on the polarization state of the light. Various linear, circular and induced birefringence effects cause mode...
