  • Abstract
    We describe new single-mode fibre optic devices which are completely equivalent to fractional wave plates of classical optics. They employ a very simple configuration which uses the stress birefringence induced by bending the fibre. Several devices can be combined to control the polarisation inside any single-mode fibre.
