Abstract: | This paper reports the measurements of the twist induced circular birefringence in a single mode fiber by direct observation of the scattered light. The results agree well with earlier theoretical prediction. In addition, an analysis of the evolution of the polarization in a linearly birefringent twisted medium (applicable to weakly guiding single mode (fibers) is given using the coupled mode theory and Poincaré sphere representation. |
