Abstract :
The polarisation-holding ability of a 1 km length of high-birefringence fibre is reported. The fibre birefringence increases linearly with frequency and the polarisation-holding parameter h is independent of frequency with a value of 5.5 × 10¿6 m¿1, indicating average polarisation-holding to ¿22 dB.
