Abstract :
The normalised stress characteristics in elliptically cladded polarisation-maintaining single-mode (PMSM) fibres are obtained using the finite-element method (FEM). It is indicated that the normalised principal stress difference can be applied for almost all the elliptically cladded PMSM fibres.
