Chiral polarization solitons in elliptically birefringent spun optical fibers.
We obtain stable kink soliton solutions describing the nonlinear polarization evolution of counterpropagating optical beams in spun high-birefringence optical fibers. Applications to nonlinear polarizers for continuous waves are described.
