Abstract
Birefringence characteristics of elliptical cladding fibres have been investigated by stress analysis using the three-dimensional finite-element method (FEM). The stress induced birefringence is found to increase linearly with increasing cladding ellipticity and expansion coefficient of elliptical cladding.
