TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the polarization phenomena in an elliptical liquid crystal-core fiber at third optical window, i.e., close to 1550 nm, and measured the polarization mode dispersion and the beat-length parameter.Abstract:
Polarization phenomena in an elliptical liquid crystal-core fiber at third optical window, i.e., close to 1550 nm have been investigated. This includes direct measurement of polarization mode dispersion and the beat-length parameter. The elliptical liquid crystal-core fiber contained a nematic mixture characterized by extremely low values of refractive indices.read more
