Angola Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Optic OS2
Image of the cross section of a polarization-maintaining optical fiber patch cord, taken with an illuminated microscopic viewer called a fiberscope. The two small, eye-like circles are the stress rods and the tiny circle between them is the core. Polarization-maintaining fibers work by intentionally introducing a systematic linear in the fiber, so that there are two well defined polarization modes which propagate along the fiber with very distinct phase velo.
