  • Abstract
    We report evidence of frozen-in viscoelastic strain and viscosity gradient arising from fiber drawing of pure silica endlessly single-mode holey optical fiber through phase retardation measurements. Tomographic reconstruction indicates non-uniform stress distribution during cooling.
