Abstract

A rigorous theoretical analysis has been presented of the stress birefringence B_s and the polarization dispersion D_s in single-polarization fibers. Both B_s and D_s vary considerably in dependence on normalized frequency v, and the v-value dependence of B_s and D_s is strongly affected by the anisotropic stress distribution in the fiber. It is shown that the experimental results agree well with the calculated ones.
