Abstract

The most important polarimetric parameters are determined for six different types of commercially available optical fibers, at 1550 nm of transmission wavelength. The diattenuation, polarizance, retardance, polarization dependent loss (PDL), among other conventional polarimetric parameters, are determined from the Mueller matrix associated to 1m length of each fiber studied here. An improvement to the data analysis method, reported recently by our group, is presented. Results obtained show the fibers can be used not only as static elements, but also as versatile optical devices, depending on the incident polarization state employed.
