Fiber Optics News
Highly Birefringent Fiber Has Layered Core
Dec 1, 2005 — At the University of Bath in the UK, researchers have produced an optical fiber that they believe has the highest birefringence ever reported. Birefringent fibers are important in applications where the polarization of light that is traveling through the fiber must be maintained, because regular, nonbifringent fibers scramble the polarizations. Figure 1. The preform consisted of layers of SF 6 and LLF 1 glasses at the center, surrounded by a jacket of LLF 1 (top left). The fiber drawn from...
kSaria Awarded Contract from US Navy
