Abstract

This paper deals with the measurement of SOP (State of Polarization) of polarization preserving fiber and its time stability. Linear or circular polarized light was launched into the input of "bow-tie" and "Panda" fibers respectively and the resultant output intensity for different positions of output polarizer was measured. The resultant values have been interpreted on the Poincaré sphere by means of the MATLAB® environment. Typical curves of time fluctuation of ellipticity and ellipse azimuth of the output SOP are presented, too.
