Theoretical analysis on polarization characteristics of spun birefringent optical fiber based on an analytical Jones matrix model

In practical applications, the analysis and control on polarization state are important. The spun birefringent optical fiber has diverse characteristics. It can be used to manufacture linear maintaining (PM) fibers, rotators, retarders, arbitrary of fibers. To understand diversity fiber, an analytical model based Jones matrix is established. a general which could explain why so many behaviors. A deep shows two key parameters fiber. When we change parameters, will degenerate into fiber-optic rotator, retarder, or device. According approximate models, property devices analyzed optimized exactly. new theoretical clear physical meaning brings conveniences for designing sensors, filters, wave plates,
