We realized a depolarizer based on two 2$\times$2 directional couplers and single mode optical fiber. A reduction method for the degree of polarization is demonstrated by using computer simulation, which is verified experimentally. The degree of polarization is -20 dB for the polarized input beam of spectral width less than 0.05 nm. The experimental results verify that the polarization noise, which is due to the change of the input polarization state, can be reduced by making the fiber-ring delay-line length greater thanthecoherencelengthofthesource.

선복굴절과 원복굴절을 갖는 광섬유의 원편광 복굴절 해석을 비틀림을 준 단일광섬유 및 이종광 섬유에 대하여 Faraday 회전에 대한 변조깊이로 나타내었으며, 이종광섬유를 사용할 경우, 출력 편광을 조정 할 수 있으며, 또한 이종광섬유를 사용함으로서 비틀림율이 낮을 경우에도 적절한 변조 깊이를 얻을 수 있었다. 이때, 비틀림 율은 12-20turns/m 정도였다.

Optical communication according to request of technology of communications and optical fiber to be full filed faster communication and pass over transmission capacity limit per unit area, per unit hour appeared, and this optical fiber acts the biggest role to influence performance of optical communication network. Optical fiber(PMF Polarization Maintaining Fiber) is used, and is used by electric field measurement, self-discipline measurement, sensor(Sensor) Department by high definition measure such as thermometry and storehouse component that use because make broad sense status and polarized light information in passageway and union with storehouse integrated circuit etc. that use broad sense interference developing could transmit in state that keep transmitting broad sense plane of polarization is polarized light existence. Also, research is developed by optical fiber for Coherent communication recently.

In this paper, the polarization properties of spun fiber due to intrinsic birefringence and magneto-optic effects are theoretically analyzed and experimented. The degree of polarization which indicates the intrinsic birefrigence is measured over 0.818, and the variation of output polarization angle with input polarization angle is measured within 9$^{\circ}$. Compared with single mode fiber, spun fiber is found to have very excellent polarization-maintaining property. Implemented current measurement system using spun fiber can linearly measure the magnetic field up to 20,000 A/m generated by solenoid.

A novel fiber optic sensor is demonstrated using a FBG in PM(Polarization-Maintaining) fiber. Gratings have been written in a Bow-Tie type fiber using the phase mask. The operation of the sensor simply involves monitoring back-reflected Bragg wavelengths from the grating. Since PM fiber has two principal semi-axes with two indices of refraction, two Bragg wavelengths were observed. We have observed the position of Bragg wavelengths for PM FBG shifted simultaneously by either applying the longitudinal strain or temperature change. The wavelength sensitivity of 1.2pm/$\mu$$\varepsilon$ about a longitudinal strain and the wavelength sensitivity of 11.4pm/$^{\circ}C$ about a temperature have been experimentally achieved. The wavelength sensitivity of both longitudinal strain and temperature are approximately same with the reported values for the single mode FBG. On the other hand, the change of separation between Bragg wavelengths was observed by the applying transverse stress. We observed that the separation between two Bragg wavelengths is proportional to the applied transverse stress. The wavelength sensitivity of 14.6 pm/N about a transverse stress has been achieved. We have demonstrated PM FBG sensors can measure the transverse stress independently from the effects of temperature.

The polarization properties of low birefringent optical fiber due to intrinsie birefringence and magnetooptic effects are theoretically analyzed and experimented. The low birefringent fiber is fo¬und to have more excellent polarization maintaining properties than normal single mode optical fiber. As the experimental results, the polarizability of low birefringent optical fiber is measured over 0.818. The variation of output polarization angle with input polarization angle is measured within $9^{\circ}$. Imple¬mented magnetic field measuring system using low birefringent optical fiber can linearly measure the magnetic field strength up to lOkAT generated by solenoid. The maximum error is 1.95% in the magnetic field strength of 4kAT.

In this paper, we report on the high power amplification of a narrow-linewidth Yb-doped polarization-maintained (PM) fiber laser in a 3-stage, all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. The linearly polarized single-mode output power was 400 W with an 85% slope efficiency, with a linewidth of 2.5 GHz (full width at half maximum). Furthermore, mitigation of mode instability (MI) has been demonstrated by tightly coiling the gain fiber to a diameter of 11 cm. In addition, methods for higher power scaling are discussed.
