High performance optical fibre polarisers based on long period gratings in birefringent optical fibres
We have demonstrated the feasibility of achieving high performance fibre polarisers (insertion loss 30 dB), based on polarisation mode dispersion in a long period grating. Chirped operation with 100 nm bandwidth has also been achieved, showing the possibility of a broadband device.
