Maintenance of single-mode FC fiber

Fiber Coupling to Polarization-Maintaining Fibers and Collimation

For standard single-mode fibers the light is guided in two principle states of polarization. Imperfections in the fiber do lead, however, to random power transfer between the two principle states of polarization

Polarization-maintaining fibers

In polarization-maintaining single-mode fibers (PM fibers), the fiber symmetry is broken by integrating stress elements into the fiber cladding. Light is then guided in two perpendicular principal states of
