Abstract
Pressure effects in polarization maintaining fibers are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Interferometric measurements of the propagation times and polarization mode dispersion as a function of hydrostatic pressure over the range 0 to 40 MPa are presented. The finite-element method is used to calculate the pressure-induced variations of the asymmetrical stress in the core. It is observed and comprehensively explained that the birefringence increases with external applied hydrostatic pressure.Keywords
