Polarization properties of single-polarization fibers.
A rigorous theoretical analysis has been presented of the stress birefringence B(s) and the polarization dispersion D(s) in single-polarization fibers. Both B(s) and D(s) vary considerably in dependence on normalized frequency nu, and the nu-value dependence of B(s) and D(s) is strongly affected by the anisotropic stress distribution in the fiber. It is shown that the experimental results agree well with the calculated ones.
