Abstract
The lowest-order modes of multimoded fibres composed of birefringent material can differ radically from the familiar modes of multimoded isotropic fibres. In general, the modal fields are neither uniformly polarised nor circularly symmetric as they would be on circularly symmetric isotropic fibres that are weakly guiding. Thus multimoded anisotropic fibres can exhibit dramatic polarisation effects which may have important practical applications.
