TLDR
The resulting mode dispersion in short fiber lengths from the depolarization of broad-bandwidth light is measured, in good agreement with the observed birefringence.Abstract:
In real single-mode optical fibers, imperfections cause the two possible polarizations to propagate at different phase velocities This birefringence leads to different group velocities We have measured the resulting mode dispersion in short fiber lengths (05-25 m) from the depolarization of broad-bandwidth light In a typical fiber we found 30 psec/km at 069-microm wavelength, in good agreement with the observed birefringence The effect of mode dispersion can be compensated by a +/-68 degrees double twist midway along the fiber, interchanging the fast and slow modesread more

Polarization and magnetooptic properties of single-mode optical fiber
TL;DR: In this article, the polarization and magnetooptic properties of a sample of singlemode optical fiber have been investigated and the fiber acts as a linear retarder, and the degree of retardation is dependent on the external pressure applied to the fiber.

Evolution of polarization along a single‐mode fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, the local parameters of linear and circular birefringence are measured along a singlemode optical fiber by electrooptic and magneto-optic modulation of the polarization in the fiber.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the noncircular geometry and the associated stress-induced birefringence alone are not sufficient to maintain polarisation in single-mode fibres.
