    摘要: Disclosed is an optical fiber (20) having a centermost laterally-elongated core (30) having a short dimension (a), a long dimension (b) and a first refractive index (n1), a moat (40) surrounding the central laterally-elongated core, the moat (40) having a second refractive index (n2), an outer dimension (c) and an outer dimension (d), and a cladding (50) surrounding the moat (40), the cladding (50) having a third refractive index (n3), wherein n1>n3>n2, a ratio of b/a is between 1.5 and 5.0, and a ratio of d/a is between 2.0 and 7.0. The fiber exhibits polarization maintaining properties in a PMB situated below (i.e., at shorter wavelength than SPB), such that beat length normalized to 1550 nm wavelength is preferably less than 10 mm. The fiber (20) may be coupled to optical components in apparatus where single polarization or polarization maintaining properties are desired.

    摘要: A method for measuring fundamental mode cutoff wavelength of single polarization fiber comprising: (i) launching pulsed light of at least one wavelength λi into one end of the single polarization fiber; (ii) measuring backscattered light intensity corresponding to said wavelength to obtain the backscattered light intensity as a function of fiber position, wherein the backscattered light propagates through the same end of the fiber; and (iii) determining at least one cutoff wavelength and the corresponding position within said fiber for the cutoff wavelength, based on a specified threshold light intensity level.
