Abstract:
The invention relates to polarization mode dispersion; writing index variations in a grating written in an optical fiber generates polarization mode dispersion. The invention proposes to compensate this polarization mode dispersion by mechanical curvature of the fiber. The invention provides a simple method of compensating polarization mode dispersion effectively and improving the performance of a grating written in a fiber; it applies in particular to Bragg gratings.
