True single-polarization design for bow-tie optical fibers.
Based on a stress analysis of bow-tie optical fibers, a mechanism for true single-mode single-polarization operation of bow-tie optical fibers is presented. The y-polarized mode can have a loss of the order of 10 dB/m, while the x-polarized mode remains well confined and without loss.
