Polarization Preserving Fiber Lasers:

Several applications of rare-earth-doped fibers, including short pulse fiber lasers, single frequency fiber lasers, and gyroscopic strain sensors, are limited by polarization crosstalk; fiber lasers based on polarization preserving rare-earth-doped fibers offer the possibility of alleviating or cirumventing some of these constraints. Towards that end, we have performed detailed studies on the optical gain of elliptical core Nd-doped fibers and on the polarization properties of lasers based on such fibers. Our results indicate polarization dependent gain, with a larger gain for the polarization along the major axis of the fiber, presumably due to the stronger mode confinement of this polarization in the elliptical core fiber.
