Abstract :
Polarisation modulators with either square fibres or regular octagonal fibres have been fabricated for the first time. The frequency responses of the modulators were measured and compared to a polarisation modulator with a round fibre. The results showed that the new modulators have a much higher modulation efficiency and a greater number of active frequency ranges than do round-fibre modulators
