| Abstract: | We present a simple analytical method to study birefringence and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of graded-core stress-applied polarization-maintaining fibers. It is based on the equivalent step-index-fiber method. It is shown that the agreement between present results and the results obtained using the finite-element method is very good. Polarization characteristics of stress-applied polarization-maintaining fibers having a dip in the refractive index at the center of the core are also investigated. |
