R. Zwiggelaar et Mgf. Wilson, PROPAGATION OF THE DEGREE OF POLARIZATION IN AN OPTICAL-FIBER - EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, International journal of optoelectronics, 10(4), 1996, pp. 295-297
Experimental results are presented for the changes in the degree of po
larization upon propagation in the LP(01) mode in a few-mode optical f
ibre. The dependence on the temporal coherence of the source is shown.
The general trend in the results can be confirmed with a theoretical
Mueller matrix model describing a single-mode optical fibre.
