Abstract
The birefringence of a twisted extruded elastomer fibre package is measured at high twist rates. The stresses in the package will give rise to high birefringence within the fibre, but at low twist rates the results suggest that twist can be used to reduce the polarisation mode dispersion of cabled fibres
